Royal Enfield Himalayan with a tagline of “Built For All Roads. Built For No Roads” launched back in 2016 is now come up with a new BS-6 compliant engine.
The old model with built quality issues like braking of chassis into two pieces is rectified as the new Himalayan comes up with a new reinforced chassis, sub-frame, and swingarm.
The engines is also re-tuned to meet the new BS-6 emission norms which increased the weight by 5Kg and decreased 0.5Ps of power. The new bike now produces 24.3Bhp of max-power.
Although the Royal Enfield changed the delivery of power output. The throttle is now crisp and the bike feels peppier than the outgoing model.
The Himalayan is now more fun where there are no roads as now riders can disable the rear ABS with the button given on the instrument cluster. Engaging gears now feel smoother than the previous model. It would be cherry on the cake if Royal Enfield have given a slipper clutch in the bike. It would have made the clutch more lighter.
