The motorcycle is expected to have an engine tuned for better performance compared to the ongoing version. The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is expected to have a DOHC four-valve head paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox with a slipper clutch function. Moreover, it is expected to be more advanced looking at the recent launch of the company.

Though there is no information on the launch of the bike yet, looking at the test mule, expectations are that the bike can be launched around next year. There is no doubt the bike will be more expensive considering the expected upgrades on it.
