Adventurer

The new Royal Enfield Himalayan is truly a versatile adventurer that works well on city roads, outskirts, and off-road. It has a height of 1370mm which makes it comfortable for a rider to swing their leg over and place it down firmly. Its footpegs are placed at an angle that reduces the riding lag and cramps that a rider will face during long journeys or while halting at long city traffics. The wide handlebars give you good leverage even at slow speeds. As you can ride the bike sitting upright it gives you even greater visibility all of which helping a commuter ride smoothly through city traffic.

But with a well-distributed weight and with a fuel holding capacity of 15 Liters the Himalayan gives up to 350 km range which is more than adequate for an adventure motorcycle. The Himalayan has a 5-speed gearbox which makes cruising comfortable at the speed of 100 KMPH to 200 KMPH.
