Royal Enfield will launch the Himalayan 440 on September 4 at its Himalayan Basecamp in Leh, marking a significant return to its adventure-bike roots exactly ten years after the original Himalayan 411.
Key Points:
- The new 440 is not a downsized version of the current 450; it follows a distinct engineering path.
- Expected to be priced between Rs 2.5 lakh and Rs 2.7 lakh, making it simpler and more affordable than the 450.
- Utilizes the Scram 440’s LS440 engine, producing 25.4 hp and 34 Nm, tuned for low-mid range response.
- Features a 21-inch front wheel (replacing the Scram’s 19-inch) with increased suspension travel of around 200 mm.
- Likely to offer dual-channel ABS with switchable rear ABS for loose surfaces.
- Stays true to the original Himalayan philosophy, avoiding advanced electronics seen on the 450.
- Fills the gap between the Scram 440 and Himalayan 450, offering a more accessible adventure bike.
Final specifications are yet to be confirmed on September 4.
