Royal Enfield Himalayan 2021

Royal Enfield Himalayan 2021

Since its release, the Royal Enfield Himalayan has enjoyed a large fan community thanks to its classic design and exemplary price-performance ratio. With the 2021 model year, practical details such as ABS that can be deactivated on the rear wheel or the small LCD display with arrow navigation have also been introduced. All in all, however, it remains what it has always stood for: a decelerating companion that is just as ready for the grand tour as it is to cut a good figure in front of the ice cream parlour in the city.

The new Africa Twin has come exactly as fans expected: Well controllable, unagitated and a wonderful travelling companion. The fact that it also looks extremely good was a pleasant bonus. So there is no reason to fundamentally change the Africa Twin, what was good remains good on the new one - and much has been improved. Thanks to Ride by Wire, you can now also enjoy performance modes on the Africa Twin, and the traction control can be adjusted 7-fold (instead of 3-fold previously) and switched off. The optional DCT is still a big hit and a lot of fun, but it also costs a lot.
