I was pretty excited to get the opportunity to do a Royal Enfield Himalayan off road test ride at this year's Giant Loop Ride. Chad from RE was awesome and hooked me up with an opportunity to take the RE Himalayan off road as well as on the highway, so I feel like I got a great sense for the bike. In this initial Royal Enfield Himalayan review and first impressions video, we'll talk about the classic styling of the 2022 RE Himalayan, the modern features it has, and how easy it is for a new ride to just jump on and ride.

When Royal Enfield Himalayan offroading, the bike feels incredibly stable and planted, both standing and sitting. I found myself hitting 50-60 miles per hour on gravel roads without even noticing. That stability makes the Royal Enfield Himilayan an excellent choice for a first adventure bike or first bike in general.
With the Himalayan, you get a lot for your money. At $5300 retail, it's an impressive package, made even more appealing by the included 3 year unlimited maintenance Royal Enfield Himalayan warranty.
Back on the highway, I just had to do a Royal Enfield Himalayan top speed test. I'm happy to report that while this is definitely not a sport bike, it can do 75 mph even with a wide, overweight rider like myself on it.
Overall, I was very pleased with my Royal Enfield Himalayan test ride and I think it's a great beginner adventure bike to consider.
Big thanks to Chad and the rest of the gang at the GL Ride for letting me take the RE Himalayan off road!
