WRONG about HIMALAYAN 450 | HIMALAYAN CHANGED MY MIND
Hi Guys,
This is my first ride impression of HIMALAYAN 450 or HIMALAYAN 452. I rode HIMALAYAN in city traffic and mild off road to see how it handles. I was pleasantly surprised. Here is what I liked:
- Suspension : Beautifully tuned to soak up everything
- Engine is very flexible: Low speed requires you to be in right gear however it is still relaxed and gives enough flexibility. You do not need to shift gear quite often.
- Gear shifting is very precise and smooth
- Brakes are adequate for the bike
- Fit and finish is built to last
This is what I did not like:
- Paint quality could have been better
- Horn could have been dual
- Tube rims
Not sure about:
- Lights efficiency
- Hardcore off road capabilities
Overall an amazing motorcycle from Royal Enfield at this price point.
I hope you like the video, please do share your feedback in the comment section.

Your excitement says it all ❤ I've decided to buy it when it was first announced now I'm convinced 💯
The fact that it handles well inspite of the weight means it very well engineered. Please keep in nind that this engine is NOT a regular thumper but high revving high compression type. So keep the rpm atleast around 3k and not less. Enjoyed the vid..

I've ordered the Hanle Black but it will take until March next year to get here in the uk but at least I have plenty of India KZreads on the Himalayan to watch for now. Looking forward to riding across dartmoor in Devon, seems perfect for the 40mph/65kph speed limits. Enjoy the bike around MG road? Visited Infosys Pune for my company and had a great time - would love to take the Himalayan up through Mahabaleshwar and stop for some strawberries on the way to the viewpoints and Elephant rock @@bhagwanparticle
Thanks for posting, great video of the organised chaos that is a ride in traffic without any roadrage. Great looking bike and confirms my decision on ordering the Hanle Black/tubeless rims was the best choice!

Short and sweet, well done video, as a 23 model 411 owner here in OZ, I am not happy RE has stopped making the 411, but I can see why they have done it, your market in India is the perfect place for the 452. Keep up the good work.

Hi Hemant, thank you for watching and writing to me. Hemant, it completely depends on your priority. If 80% is off road and 20 is road ride then xpulse would be good option to fulfill your needs at relatively low cost. If you wish to do touring, off road and daily commute, Himalayan is more capable. Again if you want to do predominantly off road then a lighter bike is always best hence xpulse would be a right pick otherwise Himalayan is overall a better bike. I hope it helps

Hi Raktimbarman, thanks for watching and writing to me🤗. Information about rally kit is not available on Royal Enfield website and also not a part of make it yours. This we may need to wait. In my understanding this 450 is capable enough to take you to the beaten parts with no roads however if you intend to do extreme off road then probably rally kit would be worth. That’s what I think and let me confess I am not an off road rider and have no experience. To me this 450 would do just fine for everything and every place I wish to explore.👍
