2024 Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 | Dirt & Road Test

The Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 platform has been completely overhauled for 2024 after a strong 6-year run. With a new water-cooled, 4-valve, DOHC, 452cc ‘Sherpa’ single engine pumping out 39.5 horsepower and 24 ft-lbs of torque, combined with a new 6-speed transmission and new twin-spar steel frame using the engine as a stressed member, along with wider wheels and beefier axles, stiffened swing arm, revised longer-travel Showa suspension, and improved braking, the Indian manufacturer left no stone unturned in its quest to improve their charming little adventure tourer.

Royal Enfield is looking to become a major player in a growing middleweight ADV class. In this video, we give a rundown of its performance on both dirt and street after several days of testing the machine in the Himalayas. With its new-found horsepower, is it now a capable road machine? Is there a significant improvement off-road? Did the approachable, affordable, character-filled Himalayan really need this much change? Should you upgrade from your previous Himalayan 411? We have answers to all your burning questions and more on Royal Enfield's completely-revamped Himalayan.
