What was spotted?

The pictures of Himalayan 450 were posted by Powerdrift on their social media handles. In the spy shots, we can see a completely redesigned frame compared to the current Himalayan. We can also see 21-inch spoked wheels, a raised front fender, round headlights and a small windshield. Other things that can be noticed are the upward exhaust and the spilled seat setup. We can also notice a new fuel tank and a new instrument cluster holder. It will get USD forks up front, while the Himalaya used to get conventional telescopic forks.

Expected specifications

The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 will be powered by a liquid-cooled 450cc single-cylinder engine. This engine will produce a power of 40 hp. The torque figures of this bike are yet to be revealed. Like other off-roaders, it will focus on offering better low- and mid-range performance.
