Royal Enfield has joined hands with its UK distributor Moto GB and come up with the Adventure Edition of the Himalayan. This special model of the dual-sport motorcycle comes pre-loaded with several accessories to make it adventure-ready from the dealership itself.
The Royal Enfield Himalayan Adventure
Edition is equipped with black engine crash guards to protect the 411cc
single-cylinder powerhouse that produces 24.5 bhp at 6500 rpm and 32 Nm at 4000
- 4500 rpm. Mated to this mill is a 5-speed gearbox. The Adventure Edition of
the motorcycle also features knuckle guards. The biggest addition in the Royal
Enfield Himalayan Adventure Edition is the set of aluminium panniers. They are
installed along with the brackets to provide the necessary and safe luggage
space for keeping your belongings.
Pricing for the Himalayan Adventure starts
at GBP 4,799 which is an additional GBP 400 over
the price of the base model. It is a limited edition model so interested buyers
should contact the dealerships to reserve one or arrange a test ride.
Apart from the added bolt-on accessories,
no other changes have been made in the Royal Enfield Himalayan Adventure
Edition. It has the same half-duplex split cradle frame, 41mm front telescopic
forks with 200mm of travel, rear monoshock with 180mm of travel, and more. The
motorcycle runs on a 21-in front and 17-in rear wheel which are wrapped around
by knobbier tyres. The braking duties are handled by a 300mm disc at the front
and 240mm disc at the rear. Dual-channel ABS is also present as a safety
feature.
