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 GS also impressed us with its versatility during the test in November 2021. We rode the bike on a wide variety of terrain and were once again very satisfied. The motorbike convinces in every situation with its easy handling and practicality. On the other hand, it can also be ridden delightfully irrationally.
