Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 - Real World Review - Mileage, Vibration, City, Touring & More
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2024
- Royal Enfield’s new Himalayan 450 is a massive departure from the usual fare of classic motorcycles the company is known for. Building on the legacy of the legendary Himalayan 411, the Himalayan 450 is Royal Enfield’s first motorcycle with a liquid cooled motor - a 452cc single-cylinder engine making 40PS and 40Nm. Himalayan touts this new Himalayan as a bike built for all roads, and for no roads as well.
So while we did enjoy the bike on its first ride in Manali, in this test, we put the Himalayan 450 through the ringer in the real world. We rode it extensively in the city, on the highway and even in the corners to see how well it holds up in everyday use. And to actually put it through a proper off-road test, we got a professional off-road rider and motocross champion, Yash Pawar, to show us just what the Himalayan 450 can do in the dirt.

A proper review. 👌🏻👌🏻. Not just a review. Loved the thought of how things feel for different kinds of riders...with the clips showing it alongwith narration.
Thanks PD & Zigwheels 👌🏻👍🏻
Thanks man... I always aim to keep my reviews as fair as possible. Of course sometimes personal biases do creep in. But the ultimate aim is always fairness
It was a very informative real world review... special mention about Priyadarshan, great improvement in speech!...hope you get back to your original state of speech soon!... don't worry about the rest, its all right 👍 Keep up your good job & continue taking care of your health brother😊
Finally a nice balanced review instead of people going gaga on every aspect. Great video guys.
U mean paid reviewer like PD?
I took a test ride last week. The vibrations are significant and were a deal breaker for me.. This review is spot on
@@SagarPhadtareCan't agree more. REs are vibrators. The problem as Schumi clearly says, we are used to super smooth engines thanks to our history with Japs, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Honda. What we call vibrations is called feedback and character by the western riders. They can go gaga about it but Indian riders doing the same is really non-sensical.
@@vickeysingh2044 I'm only paid a salary by ZigWheels dude... nothing else 😀
@@SagarPhadtare Thanks man
One mention for Priyadarshan. I grew up seeing and understanding from people like him, shumi, shirish, shirin etc whatever happens and how different he speaks now doesn't matter, if i see a review from zigwheels or with him in it and if its a two wheeler its added to my watch later list and when time permits i will watch it. Good job team!
Thank you for your support dude... much appreciated
I own a 450 I don't agree with vibration at 100 or the gearbox.. it's the best gearbox in a bike I have know of in this range
I have booked my 450 , can you please tell about vibarations , head light and the handle issue which is tilted to right as seen in many reviews .
@@yuvrajs8080 vibrations are there but it's more of buzz than vibration.. scrambler is better in this department but beyond 100kph in 6th gear re is smoother than scrambler.. like in higher gears and revs vibs disappear
Lights are not that great .. and i haven't observed the right tilt.. go ahead and take a test ride .. nothing to be biased about here .. it's your decision
@@debiprasadsahu2002 I have already booked my 450 now waiting for the delivery . Just thinking if it is worth buying it or not . Thank you for your response .
@@yuvrajs8080 for the price I don't think any bike comes close to the amount of road presence it carries , the power, that riding position, agility, suspension, top notch brakes.. it would be a great buy.. if the budget allows waiting for the upcoming ktm 390 would be even better.. it would nearing 4lakhs so .. for what it's worth the best adv u can get is re 450.. and yes don't be half hearted while buying a bike.. u may regret even a small spec of problem shows up
@@debiprasadsahu2002 Yes agree with you .
Its all a bubble..... No reviews are matching the experience of owning it........ It is an amazing machine...... It left me speechless
Yaya brother i second your opinion i own it now and feeling amazingly happy
Good, that you're loving it...Apart from all the positives, can you share your personal experience if there are any issues that you have come across till now ?
How do you feel ...? Faced any problem in bike so far?
V well reviewed , Very few bikes do multiple duties as well as the Himalayan 450 . Best Allrounder.
Great job guys!!!
Amazing review. Extremely experienced presenter and it shows. Kudos.
Thank you sir
Such a clear unbiased review, covered all the points. Great work Priyadarshan Bhai n Zigwheels team
Thanks bro
Yash is to the point and looks like an unbiased guy. We need him in upcoming adventure bike videos.
Himalayan is a very good bike in this price segment...The engine pull is close to KTM adv 390 which is freaking fast.
In terms of vibration I feel KTM 390 adv has vibrations in footpegs but its not buzzing whereas Himlayan is buzzy in between 5k-6k rpm but it smoothens out past that...Also engine oil do matters as we know RE's liquid gun is shit... Better engine oil can do wonders.
Yash stole the show!
the bike has very low vibs till 90KMPH, from 90-110 it is loud and vibby and 120+ surprisingly settles down with better vib control vibs return at around 150....
Yes
Great Video Brothers... Thanks Brother Yash :)
Than you sir
Thanks sir ❤
This feels like one of the very few honest reviews of the bike. Another well puttogether review PD 👍.
I, and many others know the pros of the bike. But the flip side hasn't really been shown in the right light. Most project this as a perfect bike, it obviously has its own share of 'can do better' things. In all honesty, I personally absolutely love the bike . But just like older Himalayan, I am sure RE will refine it over its product lifecycle. I just wish most of it was done during the launch itself. Anyways, Its a lovely product and for the most customers needs this will do more than what their use case would be. And yes, I think it will probably outsell the 411 by a considerable margin.
PD that white helmet just looks too cool with this color variant!
Thanks brother
I was so stoked about this Himalayan but nah, they should not have discontinued the 411, could have extracted some more power with the same mill.
Awesome video!
Which is the white helmet used on the motorcycle in this video?
Thanks man... I'm using an Arai TourX-3
Can you also do same kind of video for HD X440 and upcoming Mavrick
Consequence...This bike is perfect
More of Yash please
❤❤
Hey Bawikar, great video! Got some new perspective on the Himalayan 450. One input: your speaking speed is too fast and is a bit difficult to decipher what is being said. Please go a bit slow and deliberate. I'm sure it will make the presentation very interesting. Best👍
Yash is decent!
@ZigWheels - Correct approach to bring in an expert rider and let him speak about the topic. Great job.
Himalaya for me .... Emotions ❤
Sir which camera was used in this video?
PD rocks!
Honest review rather than unusual hype.
so would you say that long rides at 120 kph the vibrations would be bad?
Pls reduce your music loudness, a great review is being put down by crazy loud music
Please provide the review on new honda NX500, there is no suitable genuine review available. Hope that Zigwheels will soon give a complete review on it
I got a dominar 400 2018 model.. clocked 90k kms and the clutch action feels featherlite compared to Himalayan 450. The only +point is those B E A U TIFUL Suspensions.
What about the tubeless spokes, does any one know?
Perhaps of interest to others trying to decide between the hima 450 and the Triumph Scrambler x400; the x400 has a very refined engine, near vibe free up to 8500 rpm, however this makes it quite bland to ride. A big issue on the x400 is the total lack of power below 3000 rpm, combined with very short gearing, making it very tricky to ride in European 30 kph traffic zones in the city. Again the seat height is too high (835mm) for shorter riders and wider than the hima so it does not give any confidence for off road use for beginners.
Hay does the Indian varient of Duke 390 have cornering abs ???........... I have check its tft and there this function does not seen......... although company official Indian website shows this function is available......
Further more I have check international (global) website of KTM + multiple nation sight.....along with bike brosher ........there is no single mension of cornering abs........
........they use bosh 9.3 Mp system for it and there is no mention of cornering function for it (only super moto mode)............
I know about the speakers health issues but his speaking style is letting off viewers a big time. Can't even understand what he is saying intermittently. Let him work behind the scenes probably. No offence intended to the presenter but this is my sincere suggestion to hold onto your subscribers.
I feel Its totally okay sir, he is really good at his job, it doesn't take us much time for us to slide back n watch the video one more time incase we miss something. Talented people shouldn't go behind the scenes sir.
@@BuluBiker oh Bulu Bhai... this is a unexpected response from one of our respected moto journalist/enthusiast around. Anyways I respect your opinion about your colleague. All I wanted was a best possible UX for the fellow audiences. Lately seeing a lot of similar complaints. Congrats on your NX500 🙂
Hi Najnesh... I completely agree with your point. This is something that I'm actively working on, and if you keep watching our videos, I promise it will only get better from here on out
@@PriyadarshanBawikar Glad to hear that you're getting better. Thank you for taking my words sportively. Wishing you a good health and many thousand miles of happy riding!!
For my phone, if you click on More below the video there is a transcript to read, voice to text done by AI so it sometimes has some funny errors.
if Hero/Harley brings 440 cc adventure/ scrambler that will definitely the true replacement for 411.
Heating issue of engine in city traffic is an issue and vibrations are more in 390 adv or himalayan 450?
The Himalayan throws very little heat towards your legs in city traffic. As for vibrations, both bikes have them, just at different points in the rev range. The Himalayan feels quite relaxed at 100kmph, while the 390 Adventure always wants you to go faster for the vibes to settle down
I get 25 kmpl on my R 1250 GS with pillion and luggage while cruising between 95 to 100 kmph
Zigwheels needs a better presenter. If this bloke is a senior, let him write the script and cool off behind the cameras. Get someone who can SPEAK.
he has come out of a very major accident. That is why there is a problem in his speech
Give him some other job in the production in that case. Not everyone needs to face the camera. Even the content was all over the place.
Hi
Have you guys ridden the scrambler400x and whats your impression
Leaving the video at 3:45 since the anchor is too much in rush ...
I feel sorry for Priyadarshan after reading these comments
Dear presenter great content.
please focus on emphasis on right words as you speak..
Casual and relaxed riding?😆 so still the cruising situation is same as old then.
❤️❤️❤️
This bag's gonna be one stop solution for all my 3/4 days outings, I have a 15.6 inch laptop and a Xiaomi pad 6 which are going straight into the main compartment, then some clothes too. My sunglass and specs will be going in the first pocket. All my documents will be going in the pocket in the back. And some extra cash into the internal sleeve. With this I can also use my phone while charging .
CFMoto 450MT is on the way to kick himalayan 450’s ass with 44 hp and 44 nm torque and a better price and techs 🔥
That is a Chinese bike and I am not sure if it is available in India
Why do you need 21 for a mild off-roader.?
The background music should relate to the bike.
I can understand that he has suffered a major accident...and its appreciable that he is still trying his best...but face the truth man, he is not doing his work very well. His speech is not clear and jumbled.
Maybe he could speak at slower pace, so that words can be more clear.
And many are praising him to work like this even having accident and all and telling to ignore negative comments...
Man, that are all constructive creticism , so take it like that. Its a common sense , if a doctor has got a shaky hand after some incident, obviously you will not want to get surgery from him.
So, my only suggestion, please work on your speech , undergo speech therapy...and talk a bit slow with focus on your words ...it will recover...
Is it just me or some of his words in the video are not at all clear. Especially the words in the sentences where he suddenly increases his pace
he has come out of a very major accident. That is why there is a problem in his speech
@@genuineleo78But he can speak a little slow right ? No-one's in a rush
what is that helmet?
It doesn’t have unbearable vibrations that’s completely wrong as a owner of himmi
It doesn’t have vibrations that will bother u
Suggestion: The voice in the video is very muffled.
When Himalayan 450 will get tubeless tyres
You'd better go have waited for the next KTM 390 adventure. The Himalayan is too chubby and soft for off-road, and you can tell because you had to do a lot of modification to make it work decent in offroad.
Priyadarshan could you be a little slow in the videos its not a narration ... RE Himalaya that will rule our Indian terrain
High rate of speech is further aggravated by the incessantly high tempo background music... Content is Bang on, but please tell the guy setting up background score to stop being "ktm"... 😅
Team the commentary wasn’t clear. Please work on it. Had hard time trying to understand your comments. Just a feedback.
Atrocious Background music.. Music volume is above the anchor's volume.. watching it with remote in hand..
Ye ky music daal k rakha hai bike review ho rha hai ki music chal rha haai kuch bhi
I find his voice clear and well audible if someone is having trouble then go get treated at ENT department.
It is called courageous journalism, maybe there is very little glitch in his voice but still he has courage to come out in front of the camera and present himself really good 👍
Don’t read negative comments bro and keep it up 👍 you are really doing good 👍
Off-roading shots were really good and adrenalitic✅
Well said.
Absolutely, kudos to PD.
Unbiased review PD, hats off to you keep going strong!
Sir please be a little slow. That would be of great help. Thank you.
Waiting for honda,s cb350x . Sherpa isn't reliable engine
Can you please speak a bit slower and clearer. Most words are so fast that it irritates and puts me off, due to loss of valuable information.
Anchor should pronounce words properly.. 😢 rest all fine🎉
Sorry Bhaiya but please dheere bolo thda samjh ana band hojata hai beech mai
Unfortunately, could not understand well due to the pronunciation of the host.
I dont understand the vibration argument when the KTM 390 adv is horrible with vibration. So much so that accessory manufacturer "Motourenn" manufactures a bracket to reduce vibrations in ghe headlight assembly.
And what does he even mean when the modes change theottle response but performance remains same. How is that even possible?
This feels like a biased review tbh. And i have tidden the 390 adv extensively sonits not like a RE fanboy argument.
About the modes, from what's on the internet, all the modes available give you complete 40HP. It just alters the power delivery in the first few gears.
To be fair, I'm not sure too how exactly that works. A test ride would probably solve it but tall heavy bikes are still a struggle for me so maybe a long test ride for you can help understand it better.
As for the bias, I'm not surprised at all, journalism is more or less a joke at this stage
@@ScootScoot125 it's not about the power output in the absolute numbers.
Let's say there is a performance mode in which 0-100 is achieved in 10 seconds for example. In another mode where throttle response is not fully available, there is no way that we can do the 0-100 in 10 seconds. It'll probably still reach 100 but might take longer.
So whatever he said makes no sense. He should've been more clear on this.
@@Whatreally123 Ah I see what you mean, misunderstood you there.
The music wasn’t necessary and was rather irritating.
Sir, you have a good command on English, request you to not swallow words as you speak.. Request you to slow down the pace of your commentary...
Everything is fine but company can’t deliver bikes than what is the use of this bike😅 RE doesn’t have enough production of this bike and the waiting that company claims is 2 months but in actual it is more than 5-6 months
bro speaks in short hand
What the fuck is with that GPS 😂 you have to have it open on the phone unlocked? As in it needs to be on the handlebars already working as a GPS?
hi team. with all due respect to the presenter, its v difficult to understand him. maybe baked in eng subs can help.
You need to work on your speech....rest is fine...
True
You crashed the apache😂
Same here😂
abey yeh host Words Kha kyon Jata hai. Kuch smajh nahi ata. Ya to main hindi medium sey 10th fail hoon, ya to yeh ta*** America sey aya hai.!
He survived a severe medical condition.
!!!! .. Height does not correlate to Leg Length !!!
Bro i get like 26-27kpl
bad job with editing. too many B rolls with annoying music.
Holy sht! Choose one!! Speak or put music! Its annoying to listen your voice and suddenly come the very loud music, then again low volume voice and like that over and over! Its difficult to watch a video like this
Apache gira di yaar 😂😂😂
The way speaking lookz bllllr blllr blrr doesnot hit cleary....
This chap seems drunk his speech is slurry.... Ans his half baked point on each feature was a shoddy job...
still fali to trimp
Poor apache 😂
Diabtic Stalin is back with his uncouth unclear pronounciation
You must feel really good about yourself, making fun of people who have gone through severe medical issues.
Pls open your mouth and speak clearly! Nothing is understood and its really off putting
he has come out of a very major accident. That is why there is a problem in his speech
I just avoid watching videos this guy in
Bhai gutka thuk ke bol. Couldn’t understand a word. So bad.
मराठी मधे कधी तरी बोलत जा की...... नाव मराठी आहे... घरात पण इंग्लिश मध्येच बोलता वाटत...
Work on your speech .. looks like you are in a hurry
Bakwas video
Vibes make this bike bad. At 100 for 5 mins on the highway my legs felt numb. No for me.
Give more throttle, more speed solves this! 😂
Also its only on footpegs!
@@sumanthreddylives who in THIER right mind is doing more than 100 on our unpredictable roads? Vibes are vibes and I could not feel my break pedal after a while. It was that bad for me.
I own a Himalayan 452
The bike is really great in comfort and performance …but this is only for people travelling long it is not good for city/local use I am getting a mileage of 17 which is common problems in this motorcycles 🥲….buy a car if you use this in the city at least you get ac in the city 😂
