Royal Enfield Himalayan 411

About
The Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 is a 411cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine motorcycle designed for adventure and versatility. It features a 5-speed gearbox, a chain final drive, and a comfortable 31.5-inch seat height. The bike is equipped with ByBre brakes, which are adequate for its size, and standard fitment Pirelli MT60 tyres that perform well both on and off the road. The Himalayan excels in off-road conditions, thanks to its smooth fuelling, light flickable suspension, and natural standing position. It also comes with useful features like a rear rack, tool kit, and bottom engine guard pan. While it may not be the fastest bike on the market, its ability to handle various road conditions, combined with its comfort and practicality, makes it an excellent choice for riders looking for a reliable and fun adventure bike.

Our take on this /// Verdict
The Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 is a versatile and capable motorcycle that excels in its niche as a dual-sport adventure bike. While it may not be a powerhouse with only 24.5 hp, it compensates with its smooth and linear power delivery, particularly in the low-end torque. This bike is ideal for riders who prioritize comfort, ease of handling, and the ability to tackle various road conditions, from urban commuting to off-road adventures. The Himalayans ergonomics are spot on, with a comfortable riding position and well-positioned footpegs, making it suitable for long rides. However, it does have some minor drawbacks, such as vibrations above 80 kmph, soft brakes, and some issues with the electronics and fuel gauge accuracy. Despite these, the Himalayan remains a great value for money, offering a fun and reliable riding experience that is hard to match in its price segment.
Price
In India, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 is priced competitively. The ex-showroom price typically ranges between 2.15 lakh to 2.30 lakh, depending on the variant and location. Once you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other charges, the price can go up to around 2.60 lakh to 2.80 lakh. This pricing makes the Himalayan an attractive option for those looking for an adventure bike without breaking the bank. The value for money is one of the key selling points, as it offers a robust and feature-rich package that is significantly cheaper than many of its competitors in the adventure bike segment.
Latest Updates
Tuesday, 07 November 2023 08:24 AM With the announcement of the new Himalayan 450, the production of the Himalayan 411 came to an end. The new model brings significant upgrades, including a new engine and chassis. I think this transition marks a significant improvement for Royal Enfields adventure-touring segment.
Monday, 17 July 2023 06:24 AM The 19th edition of the Royal Enfield Himalayan Odyssey began in Delhi, featuring the Himalayan 411 as the primary bike for the adventure. This event highlighted the bikes adventure-touring capabilities. I believe such events help build a strong community around the Himalayan.
Monday, 20 February 2023 07:05 PM The Himalayan 411 was spotted undergoing high-altitude testing in Ladakh, showcasing its capabilities in challenging terrain. This testing was crucial to ensure the bikes performance and reliability in various conditions. I think this testing regime speaks to Royal Enfields commitment to quality.
Monday, 12 October 2020 06:54 PM Royal Enfield introduced several mid-production updates to the Himalayan 411, including switchable ABS, dual-tone colors, and a redesigned side-stand. These updates aimed to enhance the bikes performance and appeal. I believe these changes made the Himalayan more attractive to potential buyers.
Friday, 30 June 2017 07:35 AM Royal Enfield temporarily suspended the production of the Himalayan 411 to work on updates for the BS-IV model. This move was to ensure the bike complies with the new emission norms. The production halt was not a sign of the bike being discontinued, but rather a necessary step for the upgrades. I think this was a wise decision to maintain the bikes relevance in the market.
Mileage
Tuesday, 19 November 2024 11:40 AM The Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 offers impressive fuel efficiency, which is a significant factor for buyers in India. With an average mileage of around 35-40 kmpl, and some users reporting up to 45 kmpl under optimal conditions, this bike is economical to run. The 15-liter fuel tank provides a range of over 400 km on a single fill, making it suitable for long-distance touring and daily commuting alike. This mileage, combined with its fuel-efficient engine, makes the Himalayan a practical choice for those concerned about running costs.

Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 Review

06 Nov, 2023 06:11 AM

Quick Review by Maxabout Team

RE Himalayan is a popular motorcycle due to its ability to go anywhere while it remains a manageable motorcycle. This has resulted in a large number of fans not only in India but also globally. Royal Enfield has tweaked the motorcycle over the years while remaining true to its roots. Royal Enfield has given the Himalayan subtle updates for 2024 to keep it relevant.

Royal Enfield has introduced three new colour options for the Himalayan for 2024. Also, three colour options have been discontinued by the motorcycle manufacturer. RE will offer Himalayan in Glacier Blue, Pine Green, Gravel Grey, Dune Brown, Granite Black, and Sleet Black colours in 2024. Mirage Silver, Lake Blue, and Rock Red are no longer available. Royal Enfield has also added debossed logos to the motorcycle's grill and side panels.

The Himalayan retains its semi-digital instrument cluster, round headlight, and tinted visor. Also 15-litre fuel tank, split-style seats, rear luggage rack, side-slung exhaust, and wire-spoke wheels. Hard panniers, knuckle guards, touring seats, etc are available as accessories from RE.

The engine specifications are also unchanged. The 2024 Royal Enfield Himalayan uses a BS6-compliant 411cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. It produces a max power of 24.3 hp at 6,500 rpm and 32 Nm of peak torque at 4,000 to 4,500 rpm. This BS6-compliant motor comes with a five-speed transmission system.

A 41mm telescopic front forks and a 180mm rear mono-shock handles suspension. Front disc brakes are 300mm in diameter, and rear disc brakes are 240mm in diameter.

Besides the colour scheme, Royal Enfield has updated the feature list. The 2024 Royal Enfield Himalaya now has a USB charging port. Royal Enfield could have upgraded the headlight to an LED unit, but they chose not to.

This motorcycle competes with KTM 250 Adventure and Yezdi Adventure in the Indian market.

 I already have a regular Himalayan, and it is a good bike. If the Himalayan 450 offers some significant improvements, I might consider an upgrade.
