Royal Enfield to Launch Himalayan 440 in Leh September 4
Royal Enfield is making a new motorcycle called the Himalayan 440.
It will be shown to the world on September 4.
The launch will happen in Leh, in the Ladakh region, high in the mountains.
Long ago, Royal Enfield made a Himalayan 411 that many people loved because it was affordable and great for adventures.
That old model was stopped, and since then there has been a gap in prices.
The new 440 will sit in the middle, between the fancy Himalayan 450 and the smaller Scram 440.
This is good news for people who thought the 450 cost too much.
It is also good for people who wanted a bit more than the Scram 440.
Some details about the new bike are still unknown, so we will have to wait for the big day.
Royal Enfield will launch the Himalayan 440 on September 4 in Leh, Ladakh.
The launch revives the Himalayan nameplate about a decade after the original 411cc model popularised affordable adventure touring in India.
The 440 is expected to slot between the current Himalayan 450 and the Scram 440.
It targets buyers who found the Himalayan 450 too expensive but wanted more than the Scram 440 offers.
The model is expected to fill a price gap that has existed since the 411 was discontinued; specifications remain unconfirmed ahead of the reveal.
