Royal Enfield Himalayan 2024

Royal Enfield Himalayan 2024

The new Royal Enfield Himalayan is a great evolution of the original concept. It is still not about performance or sportiness, but about accessibility and adventure suitability. Royal Enfield has made significant improvements in the most important areas, such as the brakes and suspension, 40 Horsepower makes it more fun and practical than ever and even includes unexpected features such as the TripperDash with 3D Google Maps navigation. If you can distance yourself from the performance mania of western touring enduros, you will find the Himalayan a nimble, accessible and fun bike for adventures big and small.
