Royal Enfield Himalayan Production Ready Version Spotted Testing

Recently a fully-loaded, production ready version of the bike spotted testing in the country, which only indicates that, the launch is nearer than we think. Essentially it is believed that Royal Enfield will offer the bike is two trims - the standard version and the adventure tourer. While basically there is no difference between the two variants, the latter comes equipped with a number additional fitments and accessories that make it an ideal adventure tourer. The bike that was spotted recently was the latter version.

Talking about looks, the bike that you see here, comes in a grey colour tone with white and dark grey pixel graphics, which judging by the messy pattern is just a camouflage. The front end of the bike comes with classic round headlamp and a long tourer style visor along with high raised handle bars and round mirrors. You'll all see a nicely designed beak and long travel suspensions. The bike comes with a two piece seat and an extended carrier at the back along with a mounts for side dickey.

The engine, as mentioned earlier, is all-new 410cc, single cylinder engine that comes with fuel injection and oil cooler. While there is no conformation on the power figures yet it is believed that the new engine can produce 27 bhp and develop 30 Nm of peak torque. The designers of the bike have even gone ahead and safeguarded the engine with a skid plate and protection railings around it as seen in the pictures.

While there is not official conformation yet, Royal Enfield is expected to launch the bike in early 2016, around the time of the Delhi Auto Expo. As far as prices go, the company intends to keep the bike below the Rs. 2 lakh mark, which essentially makes it the best adventure tourer in that price range.
