Royal Enfield has just unveiled its latest offering, the Himalayan 450, at the 2023 Motoverse. The excitement is real, but there’s a catch to the revealed prices – they’re introductory and set to climb after January 1. Starting at a reasonable Rs. 2.69 lakh, the base variant of the Himalayan 450 is quite the steal. If you’re eyeing the Slate models, they come in at Rs. 2.74 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.
