Is the Himalayan 450 worth its price bump over the previous model with new features and performance?
Ashutosh 09 January 2025 10:50
The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 has been launched at a price much higher than its predecessor, the Himalayan 411. The increase is due to many upgrades and new features added to the 450 model such as a more powerful liquid cooled engine, improved suspension, advanced electronics and a more modern design. But this price jump has sparked debate among prospective buyers and motorcycle fanatics about whether the changes are worth the extra cost. To some, the 450's enhanced performance, better build quality and added features are a screaming bargain in comparison to other adventure bikes in its class. It also makes the Himalayan less of the affordable entry point into adventure riding that it was, others argue, driving it away from its original position and potentially alienating budget conscious riders or those who just want a simple, no frills machine. The conversation usually revolves around how the 450’s new price point sets it up versus other manufacturers’ offerings, and whether it remains good value for money in the adventure bike segment.

I believe RE has priced the 450 too high. The Himalayan may have more features and power, but part of the point of the Himalayan was it was affordable. But now it's up against bikes from more established adventure bike makers, and I'm not sure it measures up at that price.
