Royal Enfield Himalayan 440 To Launch On September 4
Royal Enfield is a company that makes motorcycles, including big adventure bikes for rough and bumpy roads.
The company has announced a new bike called the Himalayan 440.
It will be available to buy on September 4.
The new bike will fit right between two of its other bikes, the Scram 440 and the Himalayan 450.
It has a strong engine that makes 25.4 horsepower.
The bike is designed to handle rocky and unpaved roads well.
It will have a big front wheel and long suspension to soak up bumps.
Unlike the fancy Himalayan 450, it will not have a colourful screen or turn-by-turn navigation.
Instead, it will be simple and easy to use, like the older Himalayan 411.
This makes it a good choice for riders who like simple, tough motorcycles.
Royal Enfield has confirmed the Himalayan 440 will launch on September 4, filling the gap between the Scram 440 and the Himalayan 450.
The new model is based on the same foundation as the Scram 440, using the LS440 single-cylinder engine that produces 25.4 hp at 6,250 rpm and 34 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm.
The Himalayan 440 is expected to use a 21-inch front wheel with tubed wire-spoke rims and 200mm of front suspension travel for better off-road capability than the Scram 440.
Unlike the Himalayan 450, the 440 is not expected to feature a full-colour TFT display, turn-by-turn navigation, a USD front fork, or a six-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch.
Pricing is expected to sit between the Scram 440 (Rs 2.25-2.32 lakh) and the Himalayan 450 (Rs 3.08-3.40 lakh), ex-showroom.
