2024 Himalayan 450 City Ride Test - Does it work in City Traffic?
#himalayan #himalayan450 #royalenfield
I will check the low end torque, does it heat, does it knock and does it vibrate alot at city speeds.
Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is a adventure bike available in 4 variants and 5 colours. The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is powered by 452cc BS6 engine which develops a power of 39.47 bhp and a torque of 40 Nm. With both front and rear disc brakes, Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 comes up with anti-locking braking system. This Himalayan 450 bike weighs 196 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 17 liters.
The new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is the successor to the 411cc iteration of the motorcycle. It’s not an updated offering but a brand-new motorcycle that has been developed from the ground up. The new chassis, modern engine, and contemporary features now make it a more worthy contender to the likes of the KTM 390 Adventure and Triumph Scrambler 400 X.
While the bike retains a silhouette similar to the previous model, it looks sleeker and more athletic. Also, the new colour options lend it a fresh visual appeal. The new colour options include Kaza Brown, Slate Himalayan Salt, Slate Poppy Blue, Hanle Black and Kamet White.
Underneath the new bodywork is an all-new 450cc engine. This is the first engine from Royal Enfield with liquid cooling and offers 40bhp and 40Nm. It comes mated to a six-speed gearbox with an assist and slipper clutch as standard. Other features include a colour TFT screen with Google Maps and Bluetooth connectivity. Moreover, it also gets switchable ABS and ride-by-wire throttle.
The Himalayan 450 weighs 196kg; a few kgs lighter than the 411 while the fuel tank capacity is increased to 17 litres. Talking about dimensions, the standard seat height of this ADV is 825mm but it can be decreased and increased significantly. Further, the ground clearance and wheelbase stand at 230mm and 1,510mm, respectively. As for the cycle parts, the Himalayan 450 rides on a 21-17-inch spoke wheel combination that is suspended Showa USD forks and a monoshock while braking is handled by a single disc at both ends.

I am watching your content on bike ownership reviews since 3-4 years. I would say , quality content.

[@nitishneo2]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@pravinmurthy]

Honest review.. The bike lacks the low end of Triumph 400s which is very useful in City & esp Off Roading..

[@nitishneo2]

Triumphs have a better low end when compared. However this one gets better riding dynamics from what I have observed.

[@ghoul.0006]

offroading requires low end torque to be linear for smooth offroading

[@abhishekbajaj109]

Dude i really love this bike

[@arunachalamkrishnamoorthy8675]

very quality content

[@nitishneo2]

Thank you so much

[@tejasshekar]

Honestly, they could have simply given the 4+1 button system for navigation, just like we have on dukes or any other easy to operate. The pass button at the first finger. Horn and indicator as usual. On the right side, I don't think any changes are needed. Maybe the can like go back to push down to start, like we had in bikes 4-5yrs ago. Simple kill switch integrated with power start. Bcz as you can see at 8:53 , your muscle memory directly put your thumb at a place where power start button usually is present in rest of the bikes. Its in panic situations like this, where extra stress suddenly gets added and muscle memory saves the day. The bike already stands out from the rest of the crowd. RE team really didn't had to put in their common switchgear console for this bike. Edit : I wish these were backlit TBH

[@nitishneo2]

Exactly my thought 🙌 Very well written bro

[@Evengoat1111]

Love from Karnataka bhai💥

[@dheerajyadav8134]

I think for the future, RE Will transition all its 350s on the Sherpa engine except for the bullet. So Bullet will be the cheapest on the J series engine and will be the starting point for new customers and then they can progress to 450 and the next set of buyers to 650. So set of buyers who are just into classic cult will choose a slower basic 350, and those who want a market-competitive product with some classic value will choose 450 and 650 as per their pocket and experience/need.

Exactly.. I was thinking the same when on JM road. Looks like I got lucky 😂

[@jayamsairatnasravan4043]

Hello -- As you noticed I did face the heating issues on the test ride bike..What's your take/suggestion on it?

[@nitishneo2]

Heating is actually imperative on a high compression engine as this. However I found the heat to be manageable. It heats on the right foot and goes a bit up till knees. I even did a ride using sandals and I found it to be okayish.

[@Meherazvlog]

What is that extra wire thing connected to the front brake cylinder???

[@nitishneo2]

Are you referring to Ride By Wire?

[@user-uc6hx6pc2r]

I tried feels like very easy in traffic

[@nitishneo2]

Yes 🙌

[@susheelkoushik478]

Am confused between triumph scrambler 400x and this one. My usage is city use and want to start long rides :). Now i own honda hornert 160R

[@nitishneo2]

Low end is similar on both however scrambler wins when it comes to weight. For long rides I would give the upper hand to Himalayan easily and the build of Himalayan feels better.

[@abishek746]

@susheelkoushik478 what did you decide, I am confused in a similar way

[@susheelkoushik478]

@@abishek746 I have postponed the purchase.. multiple test rides of both and listening to your heart is the way!

[@Mustaqahmedmu]

Bro which helmet you're using? nad by the way engine got cut off at ~1800 rpm at 4th gear which is very low

[@nitishneo2]

I am using LS2 MX 436. Yes it’s very low.

[@kitons2685]

Hi sir, I visited a RE showroom recently to book the himalayan, but at the time of booking the sales person told me that standard warranty which is coming with the bike, will only cover the engine, to avail the warranty for all parts you need to take the extended warranty. Is that true?

[@nitishneo2]

Generally that’s not the case. Ask them to give that in writing. However to update you, I took the extended warranty and RSA.

[@JustAnAtheist]

Showroom guys mislead a lot to increase the total amount of the vehicle(on road) and to boost sales of services , almost in all showrooms. So do the R&D part at home before visting the shwoorm, especially on services like RTO expense/insurance and insurance type, extended warranty, accessories pricelist etc.

[@alokmohite]

Do you know any place where I can do ppf for my bike...

[@nitishneo2]

You can check with Autotriz vishrantwadi. I got the ceramic coating for my car and previous bike done from there.

[@abhishek6602]

How powerful is the torque compared to older himalyan bro ?

[@nitishneo2]

A lot more.. but the difference is you will find a better midrange and Top end here. Whereas in the old model you had everything in the low end😅

[@8raunak1]

overall - buy or not buy at the price range of 3.40?

[@nitishneo2]

I would say it’s a VFM

[@mohitonutube]

Your voice is like Ranbir Kapoor. Ok so my question is, with 17 litres in it must feel super heavy to physically pull out of parking? Or up a slope? Pulling out I mean

[@nitishneo2]

Yes it’s heavy to pull out from parking and the bike is front heavy. Once you get on the bike it feels crazy light.

Im facing heating isuue bro in city traffic. not for this prize it is prised too high

[@nitishneo2]

Yes bro, it heats in the city.

[@Quenchedfooty]

It's not suitable for city use. Triumph 400s are way better for city. Almost every 2 wheeler overtook you. To keep up Himalayan tires us out due to weight, tight clutch. Even Adv390 is relatively better in city due to light clutch and weight.

[@nitishneo2]

Okay, I have given my opinion. Now it’s upto you.

[@akashpaul4925]

@quenchedfooty Do you own Adv 390 ? From the Adv 390 Owner perspective, New Himalayan is way more easier to ride in the City because of its ample amount of low end torque ( compared to Adv 390 ). My Adv is modified + FuelX Probably it doesn't provide enough torque compared to older Himalayan but compared to ADV 390 it's way more. I could easily get as low as 14 km/h in 3rd gear and pull it up, which is impossible in ADV 390 with clutch modulation.
