But will the Himalayan 650 command a price premium over the 411, as expected?

Himalayan 411 is known for providing great value in the adventure bike segment, with price that is affordable to a lot of riders. The Himalayan 650 will come at a pretty price with the larger engine and probably the more advanced components. That begs the question of whether the new model will uphold the value proposition that made the original so popular. They argue that the extra performance and features will justify the higher price, and could potentially make the bike competitive in the market against more premium adventure bikes. But others are afraid that it will price out budget conscious adventurers who were drawn to the original Himalayan. Also, there is debate about how much of a premium Royal Enfield can charge before the potential buyers start looking at more established adventure bike brands. This is where the Himalayan 650 pricing strategy may play a pivotal role in its success and in the market it will occupy.
