Royal Enfield has launched the updated 2021 Himalayan with prices beginning at Rs. 2.01 lakh (Ex-showroom). The new Himalayan gets a few changes, and a slightly higher price tag as well. But has it improved a lot to justify the "new" and "updated" tag, as well as the price hike? The questions we're trying to address here is what's new on the 2021 RE Himalayan, and what all has changed. Let's take a close look to see how different the 2021 Royal Enfield Himalayan is from the older model.

The overall silhouette, shape and dimensions remain the same, as do the mechanicals on the 2021 Himalayan

Design & Ergonomcis

The overall design, silhouette and dimensions of the Royal Enfield Himalayan remain the same. So, there's no mistaking that this is the Royal Enfield Himalayan. But there are some changes if you look closer. The headlight bezel is now blacked out, and the windshield is taller, for more wind protection.

The tank guards up front get a revised design and the instrument console now gets the Tripper navigation pod as standard

The seat cushioning has been improved, and the front rack is slimmer and ergonomically adjusted (apparently, the old design of the rack used to be somewhat of a bother for taller riders hitting their knees on the rack). The rear luggage carrier now gets an additional plate to ensure secure fastening and placement of any luggage, and it has also been reduced in height, making it easier for riders to swing a leg over the new Himalayan.

The 2021 Royal Enfield Himalayan gets the Royal Enfield Tripper navigation pod with smartphone connectivity, powered by Google Maps

Features

The 2021 Royal Enfield Himalayan gets the same instrument console, but now gets the addition of the Royal Enfield Tripper display pod, a navigation display with smartphone connectivity through a dedicated Royal Enfield app offering real-time directions, and built with Google Maps platform. The feature made its debut on the recently launched Royal Enfield Meteor 350, but we have to say, it seems tailor-made for an adventure touring model like the Himalayan.
