Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 review - Your doubts answered |

[@RishaadMody1]

I’d like to point out that I’m always in riding pants and boots when I’m on a motorcycle. As some people have pointed out, you may well feel more heat if you ride in thin sneakers - or less protective footwear.

[@GodAP]

I absolutely love how this man explains stuff. No bs, to the point and he misses nothing.

[@manojkumarKalagara]

No tubeless tyres at the moment

[@nuclear9977]

[@manojkumarKalagara]

@@nuclear9977 then it’s not an adventure bike, more like a highway tourer.

[@ravirajdalvi811]

Yes, very professional , to the point. No unnecessary drama and shouting

[@podamaire]

there is a team which works on the content and also the linss, from cut to cut and retakes it is rehearsed,edited and lit up if required and shot. As for people not in the business , they always think of it as a single take impromptu video.

[@TheRidersHub]

I watch Autocar motorcycle reviews mainly because of Rishaad Mody's commentary! sets the reviews apart from the rest for me !!

[@sooyaaa7760]

Articulate, brilliant with his choice of words, no nonsense and just keeping it simple and real with the reviews. Rishaad is just in league of his own. Good job once again Sir!

I think RE single cylinder fan boys will miss the low end torque with this Himalayan 450, but will experience a huge vibration improvement over triple digit speeds, and new techs 😆😆

[@gradientO]

The scrambler shot at 12:06 is so good ❤

[@DayumSonny]

Rishaad's bike reviews sound like your best friend and travel buddy telling you about the bike he's riding when we're on a chai-pakora ride and we've reached our destination. All that's missing is him leaning towards you and starting with "Bro, listen...." At least that's how I feel. Dude's so relatable and one of the main reasons I love watching bike reviews on this channel. Plus it helps that he's my height and build so i get a good idea of how I'll fit on every bike hahaha.

[@bsviky]

Thanks for your review Rishaad, this video is what I was looking for as you answers all the questions I had on the Himalayan.

[@anujkk2009]

I just bought this little elephant yesterday and I'm loving it. Super comfortable even in the city with its large size.

[@InformationMatter]

There is no second thought that Mr. Rishaad Mody is great reviewer in all aspects. He covers all necessary things and always on point.

[@keerthirachapalli6942]

One of the best bike reviews as always by Rishaad Mody. Kudos to you

[@bonesworld7178]

Great review... Nicely done. Excited to see the CFmoto 450mt side by side

[@finderskeepers7293]

This new Himalayan looks fantastic. It has excellent performance and it definitely seems to be more relaible than the outgoing bike was at launch. With time this will only get fine tuned. I love the package in its entirety.❤

[@gurushinde9694]

I liked the idea of making such videos. Autocar please make such videos for more bikes as it will give us the real insight of the bikes.

[@SelvaSandy-zu6wg]

Test drive today Suspension good Breaks awesome Riding position good Clutch great Great shifts smooth and good Only problem Is mild vibrations That’s part of single cylinder engines Booked one immediately,

[@svaralen]

What is the weight limit on the RE 450 ?! I am always confused about the full load weight! Do they count the total weight of the bike + how much on the top or only the load weight without the bike?! Thanx ✌️😎

[@harishkasture1644]

Great review! Very informative! Thanks!

[@lifewithlyza4488]

Good Morning Everyone ☀️ ⛅️ 🌥️ Gratitude for another beautiful day 🌤️

Loved the way your review sir God bless u more power to you 💐🎉🙏

[@AIRMotovlogs]

But what about the issue of - keeping the need for mobile display to be always on for the navigation to be mirrored on the bike's TFT?

[@bgbusdriver]

Excellent follow-up video to the first review. Very well timed as well

[@007rochan]

One thing which I was getting a bit agitated about is the amount of gear changing you needed to do in city driving. Switch to ECO mode and your tractability suddenly improves so much- now no more stalling sounds at 2k rpm even in the 3rd gear ! Must try guys !

[@aravindbnr]

Very beautifully summarized and well thought of , but considering high revving nature of the bike , what about the heat management in city traffic. Any thoughts on that.

[@vasudharinisrinivasan1351]

Can you tell whether to go with meteor 350 or Himalayan 450 for a beginner

[@surajhs1356]

Please provide the review on new honda NX500, there is no suitable genuine review available. Hope that autocar india will soon give a complete review on it

[@OnlyStRikER]

i wish cars were also covered like this. They should really let the old guys go now. They were good for their time.

[@RahulSingh-ev3ul]

Waiting for road based variant with Sherpa 450 Engine.

[@vikasupadhyay1398]

Excellent observations

[@SHASHANKAXD]

What is relevance of rpm tho? I never used rpm while using any motorcycle. Can someone explain what do we determine in a motorcycle through rpm

[@gnmishra95]

When will you guys use 4k ?

[@avnishgupta2131]

By when can we expect a review of Honda NX500 ??

[@vinodsathyalazar6566]

I am 5'11 I own 350 Bullet over 11 years, i did test ride himalayan 450 and x440. I think new himalayan is more heavy in traffic and its gear shift leaver too small and inward. It was uncomfortable.

[@kiran7728]

Does it have quickshifter

[@3341ravi]

What about one side handle lock it should be upgraded to both side

[@snehithsudhan9545]

The thing Rishad said about weight is true.. the weight distribution is pathetic.. the Himalayan 411 was easy to put on main stand, whereas this one is a big task.. and one more thing this heats up very quickly (based on climate).. and the fan takes more time to cool this machine.

[@sugaritsiraj682]

Very well explained dost, stay blessed

[@RS23545]

every bike should come with tubeless setup. tube tyres should only be an option.

[@ankn01]

How is the engine braking, is it as bad and flimsy as xpulse 200.

[@mrbigdeals]

is it hi-mal-yan or hi-ma-la-yan?

[@mohitnaikgaonkar1697]

Any idea about the upcoming hero xpulse 440?

[@IamVinayKumar02]

But re disappointed us badly himalan missing it's originality old re himalan was amazing nd we love that

[@AlenJohnathen]

I wish the scram 411 received this treatment as well :’)

[@tombombadilofficial]

Bikes these days are packed with tech that it identifies more as a gadget than a vehicle. And just like with any new gadget, the Golden Rule is “never buy the first iteration.”

[@anupamtheboss4536]

Great Engine BUT Going Out?? I will Never Go out Alone into the Remote Mountains with Those Massive 140 Section Tube type tyres. You will have to carry Extra Massive 140section Tubes and even then you will Never be able to Remove the Wheel and Tyre from the Huge Rim ,patch the punctured tube and Reinstall it all by your own bare hands. And Moreover It is Not Recommended to Go more than 120kmph on a Tube tyre setup.

[@sarkarinaukar9658]

wondering how it would fare up against the dominar400.. this too, in my opinion, should have been considered as an alternative along with the triumph adv390 etc..

[@hemanshuvaishnav]

Quick shifter, cruise control, tubeless tyres will complete this bike

[@Etalors694]

Bonjour l'ami tu dis vraiment la vérité ou bien tu est rémunéré par royal Enfield ?? beaucoup de gens se plaignent de problèmes de direction, vibrations et moto qui tire a droite ? Merci

[@anupomkonwar1123]

Revzilla and Autocar bike reviews are only watchable for Ari and Rishaad respectively 🫡

[@harshsingh7945]

Hands down the best motorcycle reviewer out there.The way he explains things..the simplicity and the ease with which he touches every aspect of the bike is unmatched and unrivalled.Great review brother keep up the good work mate.

[@ishanchowdhury5676]

Great job, Rishaad. For me Rishaad has turned out to be the source of truth for motorcycle reviews, and that's as big of a compliment as it gets, as I have been following automobile journalists since the early 2000s.

[@Whatreally123]

Eagerly waiting for the tubeless spoke wheels to be available. Not picking up the bike until then. My luggage is very minimal and around 12kgs out of which almost 4kgs is tubes and tools to change tubes. With the tubeless spoke wheels I can ditch even more weight from my luggage and enjoy my riding even more.

[@hrudaymanne9013]

Im 14 i cant wait to be 18 and buy this monster i have saved a lot of funds by scholarships so just cant wait to own one. I rode 411 cc himalayan but not this one.

[@gudakesh0_051]

By the time you turn 18 there will be great options to pick.

[@Akkiben]

Ain't no Monster 😁 Well maybe for a 14yr old! Better bikes out there. One advise, anything but RE.

[@raijinhatake6558]

Bikes are the worst investment u can think of Especially for an 18 yr old 😅

[@vorrdegard2176]

I am 21 and I would suggest that whatever you have saved up put that money towards index funds , mutual funds ,stocks, bonds etc and don't touch it for 10+ years trust me your future self will thank you for it In 2020 TVS stocks were 300rs now they are very high (don't know the exact rate)

[@seauryakumar]

When you do turn 18, don't buy a monster bike or else you won't see your 19.

[@nitujain7429]

Loved the way how you noticed small - small details and explaining that with a smile and sincerity! Kudos to Rishaad Mody!!

[@harivinayak03]

[@Indiansoul08]

Hunter is being tested with the same sherpa engine. Soon they'll launch hunter. There have been some spy shots of hunter 450

[@rajeshnair2143]

Mody's reviews remind me of the good old autocar reviews. So good and covering each and every detail. You can feel his passion for bikes

[@anuroopvinod]

I really appreciate you giving figures like mileage, 0-100, 60-0 etc. Those are the things manufacturers don't include in the specs and as a viewer we need help from you and almost all reviewers are getting lazy to do that. Thank you for including those useful things rather than saying good power or good mileage like every other reviewers.

[@madsmix]

Another very good review from Rishaad! This is really setting the bar for Auto reviews.👌

[@VM-1964]

The concern over low torq over very low fwd speed and eng rpm is valid...But a simple correction called, say, 'electronic idling rpm control' can fix it, considering its an electronically controlled ride by wire mpfi engine... So, a selectable push button can be installed, to raise the idling to min say 2000 at fwd speeds less than say 10 kmph...when de selected, the idling will dip down to it currently set normal idling value, regardless of fwd speed...Now, how do you like my "patentable idea' ...?? Greetings from a Retd AF jock

[@TheCabuliwallah_]

Pretty sad we still have vibrations, I have a BS3 himalayan and cruise at 90kmph, 100 not good.....if yes, breaks not good😢....but seems like no a great replacement as of now for old one...

[@clintsride]

@7:06 this didn't age well

[@GouravDas0811]

REQUEST: Just a full fledged comparison between re450 , ktm 390 x , scrambler 400x cause these three have almost the same price bracket as the category.🙏 It helps a lot for the viewer and the new buyers.

Haha, I was waiting for this one

[@sunilmohite5776]

Oh... So before a thorough review the bike was declared Bike of the Year? 😂

[@prasunbose3114]

I feel the Scrambler from the same setup would make more sense both in the city and highways.

[@Trackandshield]

I like this guy.

[@narendrairengbam112]

Absolutely peppy and quick motorcycle. Compared to old Royal Enfield engines. 6.3 sec to 100 is considered fast bikes. Quicker than the 650cc siblings.

[@AnirudhKatkar-d9v]

The biggest problem of this bike is its side stand

[@NaughtyAndhraGuy]

LoL... Without even Reviewing it you have awarded it as "Bike of the Year".

[@ideasforu358]

Rishaad is just soo good in reviewing bikes. One of the best in the world.

[@Quenchedfooty]

Would the tubeless rims be offered as a standard when they do come in under MIY mode or they would would like us to buy the bike as a whole with tubed rims and then buy tubeless rims as an accessory?

[@hemachandran01]

how accurate are the distance to empty and mileage measurements ?

[@RemandYash]

Love to see compare video of himalayan 450, BMW G310GS, Benelli TRK 502X, KTM 390 Adventure, Yezdi Adventure, Honda NX500.

[@varunyadav8289]

RE may lose some shorter riders. But being a tall man with very long legs I loved how big the bike is. I stepped into a RE showroom to see if Shotgun is there. But I was in love the moment I had my legs around the 450

[@blackskunk54]

The review mentions that this is a big bike, maybe that is true in India. Here in the UK this is nowhere near as big as my Transalp 750 or the Suzuki 800DE, and there are other bikes that are bigger still. It all depends what you are used to. It has a 2" increase in the wheelbase over the 411 and this will help it sell well on the global market. I am waiting for mine to arrive in the UK....and waiting, and waiting and...💤 (Good review BTW, agree about the flasher)

[@kengoold7157]

[@pb69420]

All we need is a Scram 450

[@rollonwheels81]

Finally I have watched a unbiased and practical review. Thank you Bro. But can you confirm us if there is any cone set issue or any other handle bar issue like older siblings?

[@podamaire]

Hi Rishad, Can you do a comparison video of Himalayan450 vs Adventure390X

[@subhajit1128]

Something doesn't feel quite right with this bike🤔

[@fierrary9362]

Yes, it's still an underpowered single. If they make a 650cc modern 2 cylinder engine and make a similar platform for it, I would buy it

[@subhajit1128]

@@fierrary9362 Actually they've gone after the dakar format of 450cc single. A heavy and high compression single cylinder engine would neither be reliable nor smooth on the highways and I know the off road skills of the people who are going to buy this (lol). This engine will be very capable in off road but the bike weighs 200kg and one should never take a heavy bike for off-roading.

[@jubinjoseph3153]

Rishaad simply gives the best reviews out there. While others are just trying to soothen the delivery to remain in the good books of the manufacturer Rishaad simply gives his honest reviews and observations. Keep it coming mate! Cheers.
