About

The Royal Enfield Himalayan 650 is poised to be a robust and versatile adventure tourer, building on the success of its 411cc predecessor. With a 650cc twin-cylinder engine, this bike is expected to deliver more power and a smoother ride, making it suitable for both highway cruising and off-road adventures. The bike will likely feature a stiffer chassis with the engine as a stressed member, a longer wheelbase, and enhanced ground clearance, similar to the current Himalayan. The addition of a more integrated fairing and windscreen will provide better wind protection, a crucial feature for long-distance riders. The bike will also come with a range of accessories, including handguards, touring mirrors, and aluminum panniers, to enhance its touring capabilities. With its predictable handling, stable off-road performance, and comfortable ergonomics, the Himalayan 650 promises to be an excellent choice for riders looking for a reliable and enjoyable adventure bike.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Royal Enfield Himalayan 650, though still in the speculative phase with no official launch yet, promises to be a significant upgrade to the existing Himalayan lineup. From what weve gathered, this bike is likely to retain the core ethos of Royal Enfields modern classics while enhancing performance and comfort. The 650cc twin-cylinder engine, which has been well-received in other Royal Enfield models, is expected to provide a smoother and more powerful ride, making it ideal for both on-road cruising and off-road adventures. The addition of a more integrated fairing and windscreen suggests a move towards better wind protection, a feature that will be appreciated by long-distance riders. However, the absence of tubeless rims as an optional feature, as seen in the current Himalayan models, might be a disappointment. Overall, if Royal Enfield can address the spare parts availability issues and maintain the reliability of their engines, the Himalayan 650 could be a compelling choice for those seeking a versatile and capable adventure tourer.

Price

While the official pricing for the Royal Enfield Himalayan 650 in India has not been announced, we can make some educated guesses based on the pricing of other 650cc Royal Enfield models. The Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650, for instance, are priced around 3.5 to 4.5 lakhs ex-showroom. Given the Himalayans off-road capabilities and additional features like a fairing and windscreen, it is likely to be priced slightly higher, possibly in the range of 4 to 5 lakhs ex-showroom. On-road prices would add another 50,000 to 70,000 depending on the state and local taxes, insurance, and other costs. This pricing would position the Himalayan 650 as a competitive option in the adventure tourer segment, offering a balance of performance, features, and affordability.

Latest Updates

Wednesday, 13 November 2024 12:43 AM Royal Enfield has been spotted testing the Himalayan 650, which is expected to be showcased at the Royal Enfield Motoverse in November 2024. The bike features a 648cc air/oil-cooled parallel-twin engine, a six-speed gearbox, and dual front disc brakes, a first for any Royal Enfield motorcycle. It also includes USD forks with adjustable suspension and a TFT dash with Bluetooth connectivity and Google Maps casting. I think this bike will be a game-changer in the adventure tourer segment with its balanced features and pricing.

Tuesday, 12 November 2024 11:58 PM The Himalayan 650 is set to rival middle-weight ADVs like the Kawasaki Versys 650 and Benelli TRK 502, with a predicted launch in the second half of 2025. The bike will be equipped with the same 648cc engine as other Royal Enfield 650 models, producing 47 bhp and 52 Nm of torque. It is expected to be priced between Rs 4 lakh to Rs 4.5 lakh. I believe the competitive pricing and robust features will make it a strong contender in the market.

Monday, 16 September 2024 03:37 PM The test mule of the Himalayan 650 reveals several notable design and technical features, including a new conventional fender, sporty-looking mirrors, and a split-seat setup similar to the Himalayan 450. The bike also features spoke wheels, an upswept exhaust, and fork protectors. The engine is expected to have minor tweaks for better alignment with the adventure nature of the bike. I think the combination of these features will make the Himalayan 650 a versatile and appealing option for riders.

Monday, 16 September 2024 04:53 PM Royal Enfields upcoming Himalayan 650 has been seen with a semi-fairing setup around the fuel tank, which should provide better wind protection for long hauls. The bike will have USD telescopic front forks and a mono-shock setup at the rear, along with dual petal discs at the front. This setup indicates that the Himalayan 650 is more of a tourer than an off-roader. I believe this design will appeal to riders looking for a comfortable and capable adventure tourer.

Saturday, 03 August 2024 09:10 PM The spy shots of the Himalayan 650 show it running on 19/17-inch spoke wheels, although larger 21-inch rims are expected for the final production version. The bike features adjustable suspension, a circular digital instrument cluster, and LED tail lights with integrated indicators. I think the adjustable suspension and other features will make this bike highly adaptable to various riding conditions.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 03:45 AM The mileage of the Royal Enfield Himalayan 650 is expected to be similar to other 650cc Royal Enfield models, which generally offer around 25-30 kml in mixed riding conditions. However, this can vary significantly based on riding style, terrain, and maintenance of the bike. For the Himalayan, which is designed for both on-road and off-road use, the mileage might be slightly lower due to the weight and the demands of off-road riding. Royal Enfields claim of around 62 mpg (approximately 26 kml) for the current Himalayan model suggests that the 650cc version could offer similar or slightly better efficiency, given the smoother and more efficient twin-cylinder engine. Real-world mileage will depend on how the bike is used, but it should be adequate for long-distance touring and daily commuting.
