2021 Royal Enfield Himalayan Video Review: Commuter, Tourer, or Off-Roader?

- Gets Tripper Navigation system

- Available in six colours

- Retains mechanical specifications from the 2020 model

Bikewale’s Editor, Vikrant Singh recently tested the latest iteration of the Royal Enfield Himalayan to find out how does the new package works. Mechanically, the 2021 Himalayan is identical to the 2020 model and thus we concentrated on the utility value of the motorcycle as a commuter, tourer, and an off-roader that has been improved with the addition of the Tripper Navigation system, new windscreen, revised saddle padding, and improved luggage mounts. Here’s what we think about the new 2021 Royal Enfield Himalayan:

To give you a quick recap, the 2021 Royal Enfield Himalayan is available in six paint options – Rock Red, Lake Blue, Gravel Grey, Mirage Silver (new), Pine Green (new), and Granite Black (updated). The motorcycle in the video is the Pine Green colour. The company has discontinued the Snow and Sleet Grey paint options from the list.

Mechanical specifications, as mentioned before, are identical to the 2020 model. Thus, the BS6-compliant, 411cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled engine on the adventure tourer continues to make 24.3bhp of power at 6,500rpm and 32Nm of peak torque at 4,500rpm. The motor is linked to a five-speed gearbox.
