- Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 at ABR Festival 2024.. AND THE BOG OF DOOM!!!
In this video, we take my brand new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 for an exhilarating ride on the ABR Festival's TFR off-road track. This course is designed to push adventure bikes to their limits, and I’m excited to see how the Himalayan 450 handles the challenge.
As we navigate the rugged terrain, the Himalayan 450 impresses with its agility and power, effortlessly tackling rocky paths and steep inclines. The bike's suspension and handling are put to the test, and it’s clear that Royal Enfield has built a machine capable of conquering the toughest trails.
Our journey takes a dramatic turn as we approach the infamous Bog of Doom, a notorious section of the track known for swallowing even the most robust adventure bikes. We witness the spectacle of larger bikes getting stuck in the thick, muddy bog, with riders and rescuers working together to pull them out. It’s a true test of skill, teamwork, and the capabilities of these machines.
With determination and careful maneuvering, we guide the Himalayan 450 through the treacherous bog. The bike’s performance is outstanding, showcasing its resilience and reliability in extreme conditions. The Bog of Doom proves to be a formidable adversary, but the Himalayan 450 emerges victorious, solidifying its reputation as a versatile and powerful adventure bike.
Join us as we continue to explore the TFR off-road track, sharing tips and insights on handling challenging obstacles and making the most of your adventure riding experience. Whether you're an experienced rider or new to the world of off-road biking, this video will inspire and inform your next adventure. Stay tuned for more exciting content from the 2024 ABR Festival!

You've done a brilliant job with both the ABR vids. It was amazing seeing the GS and KTM totally and utterly bogged. Your bike looked way more manageable on the trails.
Thank you the Himi 450 was perfect for the trails. It just goes to prove you don’t need to spend a lot of money to have a lot of fun 👍 great weekend
Your gleeful commentary made watching your circuits so enjoyable. Fair play to the big bike owners for giving it a go in the bog of doom. Thanks for taking us along Simon.
Glad you enjoyed it Aidan, yes I wasn’t going to risk it myself or though it looked like a fun challenge. Maybe next year il have a go 👍🏍️💨💨💨💨
Wow that’s a good test of any bike!!
Thanks, it performed better than expected 🏍️💨💨💨
Looks like great fun - I think I’ll go next year! The ‘bog of doom’ looks like a proper man’s test🤣
Yes get yourself booked on. If you buy a ticket now is about 40% cheaper and bog is waiting for you lol
Great video Simon, Himalayan 450 looks very impressive.
It really is! David, certainly for this type of terrain. A bigger adventure big wouldn’t make me a better or faster rider, this one is nice and easy to manage.
Absolutely amazing
Cheers buddy
Nice video son just book for next year 😉😄
Excellent you like it 👍
Good job Simon, great fun, himmi looks a good bike
It was amazing to ride thanks 👍
Great video simon, i was there at the weekend with my three son's on a mix of africa twins and 700 tenere, great time.
Brilliant, what a great way to spend it with your boys and it didnt rain 👍
Interrupting my work with yo......oh, wait...what is this?!!! 👍 Was waiting to see the new tyres!!!!
Yes they worked very well indeed buddy 👍🏍️💨💨💨💨
Looks amazing!!
It was! Thanks
Not sure my 64 year old back would cope, but fun on the right bike🤣👍 Given your a relative novice you obviously enjoyed yourself and had a great day😆😉
The TRF trail is a little bumpy but you’ll be fine on the other trail (video coming shortly) it’s the best weekend of the year for me. Super fun 👍🏍️💨💨💨💨
@@thatbikersimon Hoping to go next year👍
@@IanTed please do, if you get a ticket now there about 40% cheaper
We all want to know what happened at the bomb hole to be cut out the edit? 😅 Great ride, great vid, great weekend!
Probably just my editing lol. Great ride buddy,
Such a laugh 👍🏍️💨💨💨
Excellent vid Simon, well done.
Thanks buddy, glad you enjoyed it. Super fun weekend 👍
I was toying with the idea of taking my 1200 multi enduro on here, I wish I did now 🤦🏻♂️
The multi would be perfect on the Bridgestone trail, but it would be more technical on the TRf trail.
Yeah I took it on there and loved it , especially through the water splash . Great video. See you next year 👌🏻
@@tumolucky17 brilliant. See you there next year buddy 👍🏍️💨💨💨💨
Looks excellent mate 👍great test of the bike.
Thanks 👍 yes this was what the bike needed and performed perfectly 🏍️💨💨💨💨
What a course, looks amazing and both Himalayan tackled it with ease. Good work guys. I take it the Enfield is all stock except the tyres?
Yes, you are right. You need to have 50/50 tyres to get in the Trf course but I’m glad I changed them for this event
Simon, Simon, you could have at least tried the the side track on the bog of doom, think of the confidence boost it would have given you if you‘d pulled it off, mind you I think you really need knobblies once you get into hard core stuff like that, still the challenge, now you’ll never know.
Il be honest I didn’t see that until I went around the other side otherwise I would of done. Definitely next year though. 👍🏍️💨💨💨💨💨
nice
Thanks
One careful owner....
lol like brand new 😂👍
Well a bmw gsa I could not wait to get rid of it
lol that’s a true test 👍
That towing looks pretty hard for bikes tree clamps and front forks ?
The bikes can handle it, I guess there not many options
@@thatbikersimon There are literally no other options. We (I was marshalling in the "bog") and last year, without the quad, getting the big bikes out was back breaking (we are volunteers). This year the quad helped hugely - that was the UK TRF Chairman you chatted to on the Quad :-) - and it's his own quad. I did however notice a fair few more people taking on the bog this solely because they knew they'd get pulled out..... :-)
@@dodgey99 i had no idea how deep that bog was, and if I’d not of seen the bike stuck I might have given it ago but like you said il wait for the quad to be there and take some spare boots 😂👍
Must be embarrassing for the big bike owners when their bikes stuck in deep mud while cheaper Enduros and other Advs pass by.
I personally wouldn’t take a 1250GS though that deep mud but I would like to give it a try. They were having fun for sure 👍 🏍️💨💨💨💨
@@thatbikersimon
Hy Mate.
That ppl who r watching the ppl diggin out that Tanks 4 sure. 😂😂
I agree however they’re passing by I.e going round it not through it
Nothing to be embarrassed about, give it a go!
@@daveswhite90 Imagine going on a remote location for a trail ride and getting stuck at the mud 😅
