The New Himalayan | Launched at Rs. 2.69 lakh | 4K | PowerDrift

[@anandhanofc]

It's all starts from the Engine name SHERPA - a member of a Himalayan people living on the borders of Nepal and Tibet, renowned for their skill in mountaineering.

[@powerdriftofficial]

Yes for sure. That's such a cool name though.

[@danieldeath-j7u]

just branding nonsense.

[@BuddhaRayamajhi-o5e]

It's a nepalis Himalayan people name

[@sumanthparakala2005]

Definitely a nice tribute to the hardwork they do up there...monster lungs theyve got

[@RohanAlbal]

It looks to me like PowerDrift is going to make a huge comeback ! What a video Varun 'Baron' Painter ! Go go Himalayan !

[@powerdriftofficial]

Boom boom pow!

[@YouAreOnYoutube]

2.75L is definitely a worthy price tag for this Himalayan. As both Adv390X and Himalayan are now almost same in terms of performance and price, its interesting to see what one chooses !!

[@agentK1896]

I already chose adv390x. Should've waited.

[@xghost4469]

I would rather buy ktm than this because of no taillights

[@agentK1896]

​@@xghost4469besides, experience has taught me that I shouldn't get first Gen of any bike. Wait atleast a couple of months till they sort out the issues

[@rameshnataraj2605]

[@kshtjsxn9]

A wonderful video, what an amazing blend of shots, cinematography and my god, the music and beat synced transitions! For the bike, i think i’ll wait for the tubeless spokes to come in, and hot swap once they’re here. Looks quite promising so far, waiting on a test drive now!!

[@powerdriftofficial]

Thank you, thank you and thank you! Like VP said, the tubeless spokes will take a while.

[@powerdriftofficial]

More to come!

[@Whatreally123]

I will surely pick one up only once the tubeless spoke wheels are made available. Now I am thinking what can RE do in the next version. This has everything one would need. Maybe add adjustable suspension (maybe will be offered as an accessory in this model itslef), Traction Control, QuickShifter and even these are really not that important. Anyone reading this, feel free to chime in with your thoughts on what RE could add in the next version. Functional stuff and not cosmetic like new paint scheme etc.

[@sahilroy893]

Well, RE doesn't have the history of adding a lot of features once the bikes are launched. So I am a bit sceptical. They took 5 years for adding alloys on 650s and other bikes in the portfolio haven't seen anything substantial either. So this is what you will get for the next 5 years. RE will quickly move on to the next launch now.

[@powerdriftofficial]

Or mayvbe you pick it up and add the tubeless rims later?

[@rajareddy2363]

​@@powerdriftofficialthat comes with a cost ... I think it'll be too much to buy basic spoke wheels and then opt for tubeless ..

[@anantgautam2485]

As a Himalyan BS6 owner for 3years my honest thoughts would be that the fuel tank tooka a bit less masculine and the instrument cluster with a single round meter looks a bit less classy.Probably a TFT screen like the 290adv would have been a good option.

[@powerdriftofficial]

We are sure someone from the RE brand team is seeing this.
