Royal Enfield Himalayan 440 Targets Affordable Adventure Touring
Royal Enfield may launch a new motorcycle called the Himalayan 440.
It is expected to be simpler and cheaper than the Himalayan 450.
The bike could use ideas from the older Himalayan 411 and the newer Scram 440.
Its engine may make 25.4 bhp and 34 Nm of torque.
It could have a large front wheel and suspension suited to rough roads.
The motorcycle may include basic features such as dual-channel ABS, LED lights and Tripper navigation.
Its expected price would place it between Royal Enfield’s 350cc bikes and the Himalayan 450.
The company may reveal it on September 4.
The upcoming Himalayan 440 is expected to sit below the more advanced Himalayan 450.
It may draw on the Himalayan 411’s rugged architecture while using the Scram 440’s 443cc engine platform.
The expected engine could produce 25.4 bhp and 34 Nm, paired with a six-speed gearbox.
Longer-travel suspension and a 21-inch front wheel could distinguish it from the road-focused Scram 440.
A projected price of Rs 2.35-2.45 lakh ex-showroom could place it near Rs 3 lakh on-road.
