The Himalayan Now gets more colours such as Mirage Silver, Granite Black and Pine Green. The pricing now starts ad 2.01 lacs Exshowroom. At the front, the headlamp now has a black casing. The windshield is a taller unit, which will be functionally better and also improve the motorcycle’s road presence. The front frame located next to the fuel tank has been shortened and moved slightly forward. This change is based on user feedback, wherein some taller riders had complained about the front frame touching their knees. Another key update is new tan-coloured seat, which creates a visually appealing contrast. It will be more comfortable as well, as it utilizes high density foam. The motorcycle also gets a blacked-out heat shield for the exhaust. Luggage rack design has been updated and it now looks sturdier than that of the outgoing model. Users can expect to carry more, heavier luggage with updated Himalayan. ripper navigation will be standard equipment on-board most new / updated Royal Enfield products.

This is the first bike in the last 20 years, which impressed me.
I live in Europe, Germany. Here bikes often have a top speed above 200km/h. It is allowed to drive as fast as a motorbike can on highways. So this speed potential is used often.
Interrestingly the Himalayan sells very well in Europe. In Germany in 2020 it was on position 11 of most sold bikes. This is extremly wondering because 25HP are considered as heavily underpowered. Cruising speed of about 110Km/h is unbelievable slow. :-)
So why it is sold so well?
It is not fuel economy, not the price, nor the technology.
BUT:
No other manufacturer combines so many cool features in one product.
Reliability:
It is basically made of metal, not of plastic. There is not to much fun technology integrated, so it runs and runs and runs without probems. And it can be repaired without problems.
Drive an BMW or Ducati or whatever on third class roads. They will need maintenance very often.
Maintainability:
It is designed in a clever way, that maintenance can be made easy. Nearly every important part can be achieved easily. To design the same is very complicated and costly during development. Everywhere on this planet the bike can be repaired. So long trips can be done with it, through Europe, Africa, America. It just does not matter where you are with this bike!
European and Japanese bikes are not constructed well. Maintenance is the hell, everything is unnecessary complicated arranged. Often special tools only available at the manufacturer are needed. Those tools are not sold on the free market. If you want for example change the spark plug, nearly everything has to be dissassembled. Its just brain dead!
Electronics is kept as a manufacturer secret. No chance to repair it already in Eastern Europe. Don`t think about a tour in Africa...... if it needs maintenance.
Weight:
This bike is not too heavy. It is of course not light wight, but 190Kg are pretty OK. You can avoid crashes by support of your feets/legs.
If you drive in example BMW with 280Kg on third class roads, you know what I mean! If the bike wants to fall down it does. Dont use your feet to avoid it! Its too heavy.
Comfort:
Good seat position for tall and small persons. Long distances are very good manageable. Very good handling.
On many European/Japanese machines seat position is like a torture in the middle age! There is more comfort on a toilett. No chance to drive distances about more than 100km in one rush. Legs and back do hurt. Of course there exist bikes with good sitting positions as well..... but not many.
Handling:
Top driving capabilitys, a low center of gravity, high clearance.
Engine:
Despite it is considered to be extremely low powered in Europe, the engine runs smooth for a single cylinder. It has a lot of torque which is especially offroad or on third class roads helpful. The engine has a modern layout, is relieable, looks good, sounds good. Runs always.
European bikes: Bigger engines have higher weight and often a higher center of gravity. Driving capabilitys are onroad and offroad worsen by this. European and Japanese manufactures add more technology to the suspensions, electronic controls and ... and .. and .... try to compensate this. Compensation is always the second choice in technology. If the base construction is done well the bike performs always better, like the Himalayan.
Look:
The design of the bike is awesome! It looks good it sounds good, it is not too small and not too big.
Compare i.e. with a BMW R1200GS. decide yourself about the look.
Technology:
European press says this bike is low tech. Errrrr? They mix ag ood and clever construcion with low tech! The Himalayan has an electronic controlled fuel injection (carburettors are not allowed since decades), ABS. It has a fully electronic controlled cockpit and a tricky navigation system, bluetooth/mobile based. The base construction is done well, so no electronic gadgets are needed to compensate a worse design! Overall it is not rocket design, but it is up to date and can compete with European and Japanese bikes.
Europeans are deing a worse design/tecnology and try to compensate it by electronics. Than it is considered to be up to date tech. Think yourself if this is true.
So no wonder this bike is a top seller in Europe.
Royal Endfield go on with this kind of bikes!

Booked already. Waiting for delivery ❤️
Aggayi apki bike
You have to wait 3/4 months
Congratulations 😘
Waiting 3months
Congratulations bro. I'll buy it soon too as i will pass 18 years of age and gain license
Main stand ka advantage jo bataya naa bhaai apne... Kasam se dil jeet liya😀😀😅😅😅
Default manufacturing fault with RE Himalayan is as always the repeated malfunctioning of cone set which is a very critical thing as it needs to be replaced very often. Hope they have sorted the issue concerning low quality cone set.
Shows how lazy RE is! Is there a clock on the tripper as well as the digital display under the speedo?
RE has made zero efforts in integrating that unit, even the tripper rim design does not match the older unit.
agreed, looks like they work like govt sector
They could do all sorts of things, but it is going to cost more, which means you will pay more. It's not laziness - it's economics. All motorbikes are built to a price point, including BMWs and KTMs. I can't speak for India, but here in the States the price of REs relative to the overall build quality is a big part of why people buy them. If RE outfits the bike more, labor costs will increase, meaning RE will have to raise the price, meaning RE will sell fewer bikes. In that reality, it's just not cost-effective to fuss over dash instruments, because nobody - literally not a single solitary person in America - decides to buy a bike based on how "integrated" the dash instruments are. That's something bike journos and UA-cam commenters pretend is important.
@@cisium1184 agreed the intent is to keep costs at check, and it is common to have shared parts for multiple models. But here in India, the price has now increased by 5% which is 10000 INR, and the least that one expects is that the unit sheds its chrome bezel before making its way to the Himalayan's dash.
Would be interesting to know if people would pay 6-7k INR, if this were to be an accessory.
What about different pricing for different colors? Is it same in US too? There is premium here upto of 7k INR for premium color varients with no added features.
@@narayanhegde6440 In the UK, two tone colours on the Himalayan are £100 extra, and on the 650 Interceptor it’s £200 extra.
This bike is just 🔥🔥🔥🔥 best review ever, you covered everything 👍👍 by the way...amhi pan punekar 😂🙌
Thank you so much Puneri bhau ❤️
This is amazing... Full details mentioned n explained 😋😋🎉
Thank you so much 😊
@@karthikreddyi8337 all the best
My dream bike himalayan
I have always been in love with this beauty.. hope ll buy it someday in near future.. and can ride with confidence considering my short height of 5'5"
Exhaust node was amazing.I loved it.💖💖💖💖💖
Thank you so much 😊
Good to see you getting to ride this first, you should be a UA-cam influencer now..
I have Himalayan Sleet BS6 ....i will check if this new windshield will going to fit on older BS6 then it will look god. Let see
Love 💝 from Karnataka
Dhanyawadagalu ❤️
❤️😘😘😘😊
Intro in ಕನ್ನಡ is op 😍😍😘
I have booked Himalayan but recently I went on trip with my old Classic 350cc to Zigzag roads of Sikkim. I found it very challenging to lead the steep curves due to bike's heavy weight and that's when I got caught attention of my decision to buy Himalayan. Now am considering buying Hero Xpulse thus cancelling by booking for RE. Any comments on this would be highly appreciated.
well done brother
Have they improved Handle Cone set ??? or still its junk ?
Company hasn’t explicitly mentioned that in the changes.. so cannot comment until I get some information on the same
Puncture hogaya toh thoda nahi bahot dikkat hoga itna heavy bike ka wheel nikal k banane mein khud sey in case of lehladhak tour.
Also spoke wheels r now outdated they helps in absorbing shocks but also their rim bents very easily as compared to alloy wheels...
Alloy wheel dedena enfield ismein toh double aales badh jaegi my gurantee110%
Himalayan Indian is Best bike💙💙❤️❤️🏆🏆✅
Booked already. Going to take the delivery on this Wednesday 😁😍😍
One disadvantage I think is the tyre type.. should have been tubeless
Thank you bhai. I was waiting for a Himalayan 2021 video.
Great videos! Love your work! Just one thing, its subjective but still, intro seems bit too long man
Thanks for your inputs bro 😊
You are the best youtuber who reviews the latest and trending bikes
Thank you so much 😊
Best all rounder in it's segment!🏍🔥
Me too booked... And waiting for delivery
New himalayan is just a silky smooth 👌🏼
I hope they improved the chassis quality also, that is a big concern when buying a new HIMALAYAN...
Ya you're right there are many problems related to chassis (break)
Thanks Nitish.. ur reviews are very informative.👍
, 2020 himalayan engine was not as smooth as meteor.
hows the 2021 version
It’s the same engine as that of 2020 bro
Headlamp doesn't have led ring... Just a small correction 🙏... The machine looks good 👍... Nice video
Hi bro I'm 6.4 and I have classic 350 now but it still looks short for me...so thinking of buying Himalayan❤️
Benelli trk 502 will suite you 👍good
6'4: Blessed by God 🤟
@@mynameisjithunni yeah.. But doesn't suites my wallet😂😂
@@banjarabullet7540 thank you❤️
Go for ktm adventure 390 beacause of higher seat height
♥️ royal Enfield,
This bike is an attention grabber.😘
Yeah 🤘
@@NitishNeo
Sir any improvement in brakes
The brakes are good.. infact the same as that of 2020
I understand about half of it . But that's ok I got the general drift. Good review thanks. Is there a dealer in bc Canada. Nice bike for the money. I watch a vid of how they are made in the factory very Interesting.
not that there is something new for me in that video as a fan boy of the Himalayan, but yes i also only understood here and there a english word. ;-) greetings from germany
Very good review bhai.....congratulations 👏
My Dream Bike😊
Hello sir...
Waiting for the comparison on this HIMALAYAN and BMWG310 GS BS6
Fab review 💥
Thank you so much sir for this review🙏👌
Thank you so much 😊
Very gud technical specifications @ this price range
390 ktm adv vs gs310 vs interceptor
Which one to go with,for occasional touring nd sunday rides?
Sir U didn't put link of the Side bag(saddlebag) please share me link? I also want to install that on my bike.
Lovely Nitish ji! Awesome!! 😊😇🥰
Hello Nitin sir please suggest I planning to buy Hero xpluse and Himalayan but I am confused with both bike suggest go for one My height is 5.7 and weight is 55kg ...
RE could have installed google map console on the top of speedometer the viewing angle would be more practical and soothing .
That’s an interesting suggestion
Bro how is it to ride with the panniers on? Will it be a problem in maneuvering the bike while overtaking and in the traffic?
Dino bhai aur apne same bike review ak sath upload kiya🔥❤️
Oh!! Kya baat hain.. Abhi Dekhunga unka video 😊
Hey there , Anyone here who rode the 2021 himalyan . I just got to witness the bike in store and didn't got a chance to test ride it . I have a 1 question when I revved it a bit there were so much vibrations on tank , do these vibrations hits while riding too .....??? and I felt that gear system was bit rash is that tru ???
I own a Yamaha Ray ZR street Rally scooter...So i wanna buy a bike and i selected some. Is that Himalayan 400 good for me or Duke 250?
Wow, very informative review, keep it up mate.
Malayaleeeee
Bro I wait for u after seeing pics of this bike
Sir onroad price kya hai I am from thane is their any build quality different from india and abroad and kick start nahe hai I guess
Is it justified to charge premium just for different color ?
Bro the price is increased due to road tax. Road tax for mirage silver, gravel gray, lake blue and red rock is 23k something. And for pine green and new granite black it's 43k something. Hope it helps you 👍🏻
@@abhinavkoushik7105 No, there is difference between varients on x showroom price.
@@narayanhegde6440 ua-cam.com/video/U311QfCMsoA/v-deo.html
@@narayanhegde6440 bro watch this video, sorry it's in malayalam my native language 👍🏻🙏🏻
Bro, what is the speed at which the Himalayan can cruise comfortably without vibrations and giving good mileage at the same time ?
Any bike can give you a max max mileage if u cruise @80kmpl
Best of 2021 and many more to come 🥰ll
Perfectly explained
Honda !!!!! you are the only hope....please launch some new adventure tourer bike..This time please launch bike on all Honda showrooms... RE is hopeless.. specially the new Himalayan model..Price is too high for this cosmetic change... it sucks
Bro just take the full price sheet then u will understand, it's all due to the road tax. 23k for models till dual tone colors and 43k for pine green and granite black. Don't hate any brand. BTW not a enfield fan boy
@Abhinav Koushik bro you can't justify any color variant with 20K difference. It's just overpriced. you can't ride this bike over 90 kmph, it starts vibrating. How can you pay 2.10 Lac for a bike which broke down in two pieces, it's front handle bearing wear out just after 6000 Km ride. BTW I only want quality rather then cosmetic changes.
I've said it before and saying it again they could've change the design of the cluster like that of the interceptor for more symmetric looks u know..😁
That’s subjective.. I am always amazed with its cockpit look 😝
@@NitishNeo I guess it's just me then 🥺🥺🥺😁😁😁
Other than that I love Himalayan
Iska speedometer dusre bike k sath compare kar k bataiye sahi dikha raha hai ki nehi?
Bro Himalayan has some foreign customers too. You should also have an English version for those viewers..since Himalayan is released first in India they'll be looking for reviews..
Thanks for the inputs bro 😊
Sir please reply
HIMALYAN MEIN CHASIS BROKE HONE KI DIKKAT ABHI BHI HO SKTI HAI KYA??
Very well Explained

Great bike and a great video Nitish ❤️
Thank you so much 😊
ग्राहक को ङिलेवरी कब मिलेगी मुझे बुक किये हुए 101 दिन हो गये
Pls suggest in this or Dominar, as I guess Dominar is more value for money.🤔
Reply to dedo like ke sath
@@Narendraparadise if you want to do city riding and highway touring, and if ur a person who rides on speeds above 120 kmph then dominar. If u want to go off-roading, highway touring with speeds of 80-100 kmph then himalayan. Himalayan u can't ride too long in city, it becomes heated fast. Hope it helps u. 👍🏻
@@abhinavkoushik7105 thanks means Dominar will be more purposeful
@@Narendraparadise if ur a more city biased person 👍🏻
Amazing touring bike ever
Mirage Silver or Granite Black which one looks good, pls suggest as I'm planning to Book😊
Can anyone clarify about the chassis cracking and breaking issue? I've decided to not buy because of that.
Clust plate problem is solved ?
Tubeless tyres requires bro.
There are so many mechanics they don't want to open the tyres. It takes time to repair.
Bro use sealant like formula x
Pine green is the best
40k increased for this small things
After some time they will do some changes n the price will increase ,
So i rather buy Benelli Trk 251
Not really the price is only increased 2000 only on rock red other 3 colours under it,only new pine and black cost 10k more exshowroom , only in Kerala 40k extra for pine and black only because of tax, everywhere else it's like 3 k more that's it .im from kerala and i own a 2021 himalayan rockred it costs same as it was before the update.2.45 4 months ago now it's 2.44 + crash guard extra for 1700 so it's more or less the same.
@@KJ-so9og thanks

My dream bike ... how is the milege performance sir ??
Dream bike ❤️
Booked today in bramha motors Pune
Do we have an option for tubeless tyres
I need panniers for my Himalayan, stock or 3rd party ? Stock is pretty expensive...any thoughts?😀
Ya next year for sure 2022 model's
Is it comfortable ride in City please reply
Which colour should I buy?
Riding thunderbird since 4 years now thinking of buying an adventure bike which one should i buy ktm Adventure vs Himalayan iam confused totally 🥴🥴
Buy himalayan if you want comfort and practicality
Bro what is your height.
If ur 6'2 then buy ktm adventure 390 beacause it's seat height is 855mm. If ur less than 6ft then go to Himalayan or bmw g 310 gs
Can we use this as daily use in normal traffic, if we use wt would be the problem
Yes we can use it as daily driver and there are no problems if it is bumper to bumper traffic u can feel some heat
Bro how's the condition now of hima
sir i already have classic pure black ...i decided to buy Himalayan ..my height is 5'5 inches can I ride this bike? pls suggest
I like this bike
10k price increase for this little updated seriously 😑
Waiting for bike
Price just more expensive than dominar 400
Dominar price will increase in a few months because it's still the 2020 model ,in probably June they will release 2021 model which will cost more ,that's what the dealership said.
Booked one yesterday, granite black 😂
Is engine guard a standard fitment or comes at additional cost
4 months waiting starts, even i booked 3 days black
