Gear Up: Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Price Set to Hike Starting January 1st

Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Price

For those aiming higher, there are two top-tier models – the Summit, priced at Rs. 2.79 lakh, and the Hanle Black, which sits at Rs. 2.84 lakh. Interestingly, these top models share the same features and differ only in their captivating paint schemes. It’s worth noting that these introductory prices are a treat for customers who make their bookings online or through showrooms before December 31. However, come January 1, Royal Enfield plans to give these prices a hike that you might want to factor into your decision.

Dealers are buzzing with information too. If you book the bike before January 1 but decide to switch up the color in the New Year, be prepared to pay the updated price. On the flip side, if you’re quick to decide on a new color before the year-end, you get to enjoy the bike at the introductory price. So, make your move before the clock strikes midnight!

The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is available at a price of Rs. 2.69 lakh, with the premium Hanle black variant being the most expensive at Rs. 2.84 lakh. These introductory prices will be valid until December 31.

In terms of features, this adventure bike comes with a cool 4-inch round TFT instrument console that lets you control your music and phone. It’s got full-fledged Google Maps for navigation and can connect to your helmet communication device. Plus, it’s equipped with switchable ABS, ride-by-wire technology with different riding modes, and all-LED lighting, including integrated taillights and turn signals. Oh, and there’s a handy USB C-type charging port too.
