The Himalayan 450 sold in Malaysia is identical to the India-spec model. It gets the same features and hardware package like the Showa suspension setup and 21/17-inch wheels. In India, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 rivals the KTM 390 Adventure, Yezdi Adventure, Triumph Scrambler 400X, and the BMW G 310 GS.
