Himalayan is powered by a 411cc, single cylinder engine that carries oil cooling and fuel injection as standard. This engine comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox. RE claims 24.5 BHP and 32 Nm of torque from the motorcycle. It is the only adventure motorcycle that sums up under INR 2 lakh (on-road) in India. The next option that comes with similar features is Kawasaki Versys X-300 at INR 4.6 lakh. The launch of Versys will have no effect on Himalayan as both belong to two separate price points. Still, if Himalayan proves its worth this time, it will be the most effective all terrain product of India soon.
