Expert Reviews on Royal Enfield Himalayan

Almost there.

This isn’t our typical BikeWale comparison test wherein we go into the nitty-gritty of design, appeal, technology, riding pleasure, pricing or value even, to come to a conclusion on which is a better product. How can it be; the Hero Impulse isn’t even in production anymore. Plus, there’s absolutely no parity or pricing or performance between the Hero and the Himalayan.

Most of us love travelling, either by road, rail or by air. But travelling by rail or air won’t give you the adrenaline kick. So some of us, in fact, a lot of us these days, take a motorcycle and explore the world. But they’re limited by the ability of these motorcycles as a lot of these terrains demand versatility and ruggedness. 

This is the Himalayan – the first adventure motorcycle ever built by an Indian company and that’s Royal Enfield. It’s being launched at a time when anyone and everyone in our country who has a bike now aspires to go on an adventure. Sadly, till now there hasn't been a single affordable motorcycle to take on the bad and broken roads. Built from ground up, the Himalayan, from Royal Enfield, has been made to attract this growing breed of young Indian buyers to the iconic brand. 

Royal Enfield has finally pulled the wraps off the Himalayan – the first adventure bike from the company. Built for long distance touring, the Himalayan has been built from ground up.
