About the Reviewer

The bike has a neat and stylish look, and I particularly like the black colour, which suits it perfectly. I also love the fuel tank; it's large and looks stunning. Overall, the bike is excellent. I want to thank Royal Enfield for providing us with such a beautiful concept. You are consistently great designers, and I truly love your brand.

About the Reviewer

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 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

The Himalayan 450 has become instantly popular with adventure lovers, who just cannot seem to get enough of the “hot” bike. With its rugged aesthetics and dirt-busting power, it is perfect for touring, both on-road and off-road.
Cosmetically, the Himalayan 450 makes a good first impression, standing out for its solid structure and contemporary looks. The bike’s chassis is excellently housed and well proportioned in a way that instills confidence and there is also an accommodating seating position that would be well suited for tough long rides. The new LED headlamps are powerful and brighten the road ahead, making night rides more secure.
A 450 cc engine powers the Himalayan 450 and it is one of the smoothest revving engines around. What is more, the torque output makes it easy to ride on mountains too, and is therefore very approachable to old and new riders. The sixth gear gets timely changes without any noticeable hitch that overextends the riding mood.
Where it wows the most is the suspension system. The long travel front and rear suspension are great for controlling the motorcycle over bumps, dips, and even in treasure-seeking activities where there are plenty of obstacles and the high ground clearance allows these activities to be performed easily. Besides, the motorcycles are made of light materials, and therefore they are easy to control allowing one to take corners and dark vague twisting mountains or rocky trails.
In terms of technology, the Himalayan 450 models have a modern risk romano of assault rifles and a digital meter as a feature that provides appropriate functionality.

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.
