कितने किमी चली (पहले से ख़रीदी हुई) | 5000-15000 किमी |
का माइलेज मिला | 28 किमी प्रति लीटर |
This bike is a camel that never gets tired.If endurance had two wheels, it would be the Himalayan 450. This machine is built to go the distance — whether it’s highways, mountains, or city traffic.Pros – What I Love About This BikeRide Quality – Extremely ComfortableThe suspension setup is brilliant. It absorbs bumps effortlessly, making long rides feel easy on the body.Impressive Mileage for a 450ccFor a 450cc engine, getting around 28 km/l is very respectable. With this kind of power on tap, the efficiency is more than satisfactory.Eye-Catching LooksThe design stands out. People notice when you ride past. It has a strong road presence.Effortless CruisingCruising at 120–130 km/h feels smooth and stable. The bike doesn’t feel stressed.Strong Service NetworkRoyal Enfield has one of the widest service networks in India, which adds peace of mind for long-distance riders.Affordable MaintenanceRegular service costs around ₹1,800, which is quite economical compared to many rivals in this segment.Built for Long DistancesThanks to the soft suspension and effective windscreen, riding 700–800 km in a day is very manageable.Large 17-Litre Fuel TankWith a 17L tank and ~28 km/l mileage, it can comfortably cover 400+ km on a full tank — perfect for remote stretches.Punchy Throttle & Strong Low-End TorqueThrottle response feels sharp, especially in the initial pull. Like most Royal Enfield bikes, the low-end torque is strong, which means fewer gear changes in city traffic. Cons – Minor DownsidesSlight Vibrations at 80–90 km/hThere are mild vibrations in this range. You do get used to them over time, and they don’t take away from the overall experience. Stock Mirrors Could Be BetterThe stock mirrors aren’t the best and could use an upgrade.My Buying StoryI wasn’t always a fan of Royal Enfield.After riding the Royal Enfield Classic 350 to Ladakh, I felt it struggled at high altitudes due to low oxygen levels. Later, I bought the KTM 390 Duke and absolutely loved its performance — super punchy and aligned perfectly with my riding style.Eventually, I wanted an adventure bike and planned to buy the KTM 390 Adventure. I even took a test ride and paid the booking amount.On my way home, I happened to pass by a Royal Enfield showroom and thought, “Let me just take a test ride — I won’t buy it.”Just 5 kilometres later, I was already in love.It felt like sitting on a sofa while the bike moved effortlessly. Compared to the KTM 390 Adventure, I found it significantly more comfortable, and the low-end torque was stronger. In Delhi NCR traffic, I didn’t have to shift gears constantly.I went home, discussed it with my wife, and she took a test ride as a pillion. She found it extremely comfortable too.I cancelled the KTM booking and brought home the Himalayan 450.The first thing I did? Took it straight to Ladakh.Covered nearly 3,500 km — and honestly, I have zero complaints regarding performance or comfort.Final VerdictIf you don’t have height-related concerns, this machine will not disappoint you.The Himalayan 450 is built for riders who value comfort, endurance, torque, and real-world usability over aggressive top-end performance.It’s not just a bike.It’s a long-distance companion.A machine that refuses to get tired.
