Image gallery: 2016 Royal Enfield Himalayan details
We have just ridden the new Royal Enfield Himalayan. Our initial impressions suggest that this on-off road tourer motorcycle, is very capable. However, we will reserve our final verdict till later this evening. The Royal Enfield Himalayan has an all-new four-stroke engine which is all about torque. Royal Enfield will launch this much anticipated motorcycle on March 16, 2016. We expect it to be priced around the Rs 2 lakh mark. While you can read our first ride story here, below are more images of the motorcycle.
The Himalayan is easily the most purposeful looking motorcycle to ever come out of India
It looks lean, no nonsense and you absolutely know what it was designed for with just one look
There's literally just a headlamp, fuel tank, fenders (three of them) and wheels surrounding that brand new engine
The bike feels slim between the legs and the wide handlebars give good leverage
LS 410 is a brand new engine, with LS standing for Long Stroke â" 78mm bore and 86mm stroke
At the rear, the Himalayan gets 17-inch wheels
The slim tail gets an LED lamp
The headlamp runs a powerful 12V 60/55 W bulb
It feels a bit firm through small bumps but gives good feedback of what's happening below the big 21-inch front
Strangely shaped 15l fuel tank looks a little quirky
