User Review of Himalayan 450 by Himanker Pariya

Royal Enfield is my favorite bike and I love to travel with this bike. I always wanted to travel with this bike in the mountains and explore India. today one year completed my bike and so many memories related to our bike and so comfortable ride in log routes. No words to explain how I love this bike.

About the Reviewer

I Like the Machine the Royal Enfield makes they built a good machine, yes every machine has -Ne but with this price point RE Himalayan did an extremely good job you will feel vibration after 140km and the Best cruising speed for this bike is 90-100KM.

About the Reviewer

I have been riding this bike for months but for regular purposes like office going It will hit you hard with petrol expenses, we Indians, in the end, want city mileage of 40 kmpl approx. Everything is good in this bike like offroading, racing, etc but when it comes to city mileage it gives you around 20 to 24 kmpl which hurts a lot

About the Reviewer

This new adventure bike is awesome and it is the first liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine in the company. with 452cc engine displacement, it is very comfortable to ride on the highways especially since it has a good braking system and suspension and good mileage of nearly 30kmpl the best part of the bike is the digital speedometer which is so different and unique

About the Reviewer

I purchased the Himalayan 450 in February 2024, till now I have traveled 6000 kms on this bike, I never had any issues with this amazing bike, It is a great machine and I have named it 'Chetak'. I went to Uttarkashi multiple times in Himalayan 450, it has an amazing road presence, and the service center people are kind and helpful.

About the Reviewer

The buying experience is good it has a long waiting time of around 2 to 3 months. The best part of this bike is the riding experience after 1st service you definitely gonna love this machine. The side and back look are awesome but the front look is average performance is also good after 3000rpm it doesn't feel like any royal Enfield bike. its main cons are very bad build quality. and the joystick is not enjoyable for sure. The overall bike is awesome.

About the Reviewer

Practicality
With a 17-litre fuel tank, the bike boasts a range of around 450 km, making it perfect for long rides without frequent fuel stops. The center stand is handy for maintenance, and the crash bars around the tank provide added protection. The USB charging point is a thoughtful addition to keeping your devices powered on the go.
Drawbacks
One minor gripe is the rear brake, which feels a bit too sensitive. It takes some getting used to, especially on loose surfaces where it can lock up if not applied carefully.
Verdict
The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is a solid upgrade from its predecessor. It combines the rugged charm of the original with modern enhancements that make it more capable and versatile. Priced expectedly between ₹5-6 lakh, it offers great value for adventure enthusiasts in India. Whether you’re commuting daily or planning a trip to the mountains, the Himalayan 450 is built to handle it all with ease and style.

About the Reviewer

Got my Himalayan 450 on March 29, 2024, from Uma Riders Ghaziabad after waiting for almost 45 days. The team at Uma Riders was superb in helping me out with the booking and also the delivery presentation was amazing.
Being a 5.7 feet person seat height was a bit problem in the Beginning especially when taking the bike out of the parking or reversing it on inclined surfaces, so have to chop the seat foam by around 15 mm Apart from that everything is so good about this bike. The power and punch that I am getting from this new engine are superbly amazing, yes there is some vibration in the engine but they don't bother me much, and extremely comfortable on long rides.
No doubt the bike looks like a mini Triumph tiger and performs also like the one. it's a head turner especially after some modifications that I did on my Himalayan 450, if you want you can check them out on my YouTube: Motorhead Shivam.
Being a Bajaj owner before I got my Himalayan I can say the service arrangement and the procedure is far better and feels premium here at Royal Enfield. Maintaining a Royal Enfield is not a big task because of the wide service reach and spare part availability in the open market.
Pros :
1 . Looks
2 . Engine refinement & power
3 . Suspension setup
4 . Excellent braking system
5 . All new instrument clusters.
Cons :
1 . Poor heat management, very difficult to ride in city traffic in summer.
2 . The headlight is very dim and useless on the highway.
3. GPS navigation system of the instrument cluster, is simply useless as you have to keep your phone screen on all the time.

About the Reviewer

The buying experience is free the riding experience is also good and the new 2024 model is something that I didn't expect from Royal Enfield they did a great job and I like the tuning of the bike it does look like a monster standing on a road and moreover it's good for hilly areas. The liquid cooling engine simply helps a lot when the bike runs on the road it feels like something is divine the bike mileage is very good according to the status of Royal Enfield on the road. I am not surprised that Himalayan is so good and it will always be my favorite bike in the segment.
