- New Himalayan 452 launch next month

- Equipped with tubeless spoke wheels
Royal Enfield’s upcoming Himalayan 452 will debut globally at the 2023 EICMA Show. The bike is expected to make its global unveil in Milan, but over a series of videos released by the company, the world knows how the bike exactly looks.
From various pictures and videos, it is clear that the Himalayan 452 will get a full-colour instrumentation. This circular instrument cluster will display a wide range of data, including detailed Google maps. This is the first time Royal Enfield is introducing the GPS in such a detailed way. Currently, some of the bikes get a turn-by-turn navigation. The bottom half of the cluster shows the ride and fuel data.
The new Himalayan 452 will be powered by a 452cc, liquid-cooled motor, which makes 39.57bhp at 8,000rpm and is expected to make about 40-45Nm. The engine will be linked to a six-speed gearbox. The most exciting aspect of the bike is its weight of 196 kg, making it marginally lighter than the Himalayan 411. The hardware comprises USD front forks and an offset monoshock with a single disc brake at both ends. These are mounted on a 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel setup wrapped in CEAT tyres.
Royal Enfield is likely to launch the Himalayan 452 in multiple variants, where the top-end model is expected to get tubeless spoke wheels. As of now, a total of four colours of the bike have been leaked. In terms of pricing, the new Himalayan 452 is expected to have a starting price of around Rs 2.6 lakh (ex-showroom)
