- #Builtbythemountains | the Origin of Royal Enfield With Siddharth Lal | Royal Enfield Pure Podcast
“But then Bruce Lee came along and changed the paradigm entirely. You gotta be strong. You gotta be agile. You gotta be quick. You gotta be smart. And that’s what’s gonna win. It’s not just brute force. And THAT is the Himalayan for you.” - Siddhartha Lal, Managing Director, Royal Enfield
Our first-ever Royal Enfield podcast featuring Siddhartha Lal is a rendezvous with the story and making of the all-new Himalayan 450. All it took was one thought to forge our connection with the mighty mountains and turn it into a machine that is now ready to shake the world of adventure touring. Tune in and dive into the many firsts we achieved with every form and aspect of the all-new Royal Enfield Himalayan. This is a story of design, innovation and engineering that you'd not want to miss.
Like we say, this is the one built for all roads, and no roads. And here are all the reasons why.

Superb podcast. Sid is amazing. His passion ,dedication, drive , and leadership will make RE the most valuable motorcycle company in the world. With this Himalayan he has debugged the stigma about RE now introducing UNITIMEDIATING & ACCESSIBLE motorcycle for all . ❤❤❤
There was a time I used to get mad at RE fanboys for buying the sub quality products . But now seeing the MD owning to quality issues and understanding the sentiment if the ppl makes me believe that the company is in good hands & this company deserves a chance to prove their metal … from not being much of a RE fan boy to discovering the Fan boy moment !! Hope they knock the quality issues out of the park and this becomes the best motorcycle brand in the world
With the launch of hunter and meteor they have come a long way dude. And some international media houses calling the quality of super meteor global standard.
@@cruze86 you are right super meteor is of great build quality, only disappointment is stiffer suspension, although its not a build quality issue..
@@Green-6937Ya suspension is stiff coz it's meant for like highways and countryside roads
@@cruze86 couldn’t agree more , happened to ride the 650 few days back there was a weird situation where I had to do an emergency breaking and was taken aback how well the bike held it together .. ride quality and handling have improved by leaps and bounds!! Absolutely in love the direction RE is headed :
@twowheeltraveler5227 Been there. I actually opted for a Bajaj over the classic but last year got myself the 411 and I am loving everything about it. And like you said RE as a company has made progress in leaps and bounds. Their product lineup is so perfect! Hope the service quality also improves further.
Bloor reinvented Triumph. Lal transformed Royal Enfield.
Never seen Sid confessing on the shortcomings of the LS410. This is the first time I am seeing this happen. Hats off. I am not a RE fan but huge respect for him.
A little too late for the confession. Spare a thought for all the folks who bought that rubbish and suffered
@@johnydesparado123 I do agree with your comment as well..but at the same time, it takes a lot of courage to accept your mistakes and make amends..
@@johnydesparado123I OWN that rubbish and have only one question to Lal - did you need competition from the Xpulse and the 390 adventure to make a better one and miss the game entirely? Way underpowered, rubbish brakes and an engine which was riddled with noise problems - you thought the Indians were only worthy for this? Many aren’t considering this until a year completes. The spokes 390 is having customers by droves. Their ASS is even more horrible!
@@TheRoamingDelhiite The best thing he should do is refund those customers for that crappy product and then he earns my respect
too late i guess..and admission when a new on is replacing it is useless
Siddhartha Lal - I am in/around Houston Texas and you can’t have my 2022 Himalayan back. I adore it. And yes I ride it on Texas Interstates/Highways…. Thank You for my first Motorcycle. However the new one looks even better and may be my second bike….. Mine was built with Miles of Smiles and it shows!
The passion in Siddhartha’s voice is enuf to blindly book the bike..If you remember during triumphs speed 400 launch, Rajiv Bajajz tone and respect when talking about Sid gave us a prior on what’s gonna come in Himalayan 450..Good luck and god speed RE. I pray this time RE conquer the entire globe with this Bruce lee..😊😊
Blindly booking the bike is okay but will RE respect your decision? Whatever has changed with the new Himalayan, their delivery timeline and attitude has not changed. So disappointing that one needs to wait despite of prebooking. I booked on 10-Nov and I was told that I won’t get the bike in hand before 2nd week of February.
As a Royal Enfield technician, I really appreciate the way Enfield has evolved. I also regret that UCE 500 cc Enfields are discontinued 😢.
I have two bullet 500 uce.
Excellent podcast and great to see the enthusiasm. My 2023 Himalayan has covered 23000km in the past 5 months, including a trip up to Tuktoyaktuk from across Canada and back again (17000km in 6 weeks, including a 1600km 24 hour Iron Butt) with just oil changes and tires, and absolutely no troubles at all. A motorcycle for doing things with. The new one is on my list, when it arrives in Canada (soon, please? I have more trips to make!)
The most inspiring person in the automotive industry.
Had a bs3 Himalayan with lot of glitches, but it takes lot of courage for company to accept that it has fault and come back strongly with support , company has evolved long way hats of to Mr Siddharth and team , and happy classic customer wish the journey will continue for decades
All the best team
Re is re today coz of this man and his passion for riding! When the boss himself knows what's coming out of his kitchen, then it's gonna turn magnificent! Hard-core fan of re and you Siddharth!
💯
Very nice interview, I love the enthusiasm. 👍 It used to be that all motorcycle manufacturers had company executives that were riders first, and businessmen second. Today this has changed, the passion has gone from many motorcycle brands and it is only about profit. Riders want more than this and I think Royal Enfield delivers. This is why I am on my second Royal Enfield. First I was on a 350 Classic Reborn in Thailand, and now I ride a 2023 Himalayan that I rode back to Mexico after buying it in the US. I traveled over 4,000 miles in roughly 21 days on the Himalayan, and it never missed a beat, a testament to RE reliability. You make amazing bikes, keep it up.
Siddharth sir's blood sweat & passion is always the best we saw in j series and super meteor & even this bruce lee will be best at par set standerds in touring world i have waited for this most refined Himalayan 452
Thank your most concerns of consumer needs
👍 Rightly said Sid, In My View Himalayan is as Unique as Himalayas
wow you watched 38 mins video in 1 minute
😂
@@superbonobo2407Hehehe , There was Promo as well, and this also shows that Some people don't follow RE, as they pretend..
For people trying to understand, Shoki-Ryudo, means "Initial quality assessment", where Initial quality assessment is a system designed to reaffirm the quality and product specifications of new products, from the customer perspective, when shifting to mass production.
Hearing from the general director such a connection for his product and the well-being of the consumer is really motivating... cordial greetings from Cartagena Colombia
Thank you for sharing this conversation! So much insight into both the old and new Himalayan and the rise of Royal Enfield in general. Good to know the story of why the Himalayan 411 turned out the way it did. It puts into perspective what a surprise the success of the original Himalayan was as well. Sid is a great storyteller.
PS Hope you push through with your plans to go trekking in the Philippines! You're very welcome here.
Himalayan heart of riders, many cons are solved, some are not but yes on this range what you accept. Great work
I just love sid. The way he revive the Royal Enfield brand is unmatched. No other manufacturer in India makes purposeful build like Himalayan. Kudos to him. Royal Enfield will grow exponentially from now with sherpa 450 engine. ❤
They released the classic reborn when i got my Himalayan,, everywhere there was talk about the new engine the best royal enfield product in recent times etc etc yet nothing could took my head off from the Himalayan... every road every trail feels adorable because of it..
Wasn't really expecting this podcast but I must say I see great conviction in all that Mr. SIdhart Lal said. Infact I have more respect for the homegrown brand now. Brilliant job done with the new Himalayan sir.
His vision is like that of Apple (in its initial days). Do not join the rat race for a shiny specsheet, instead give the customers a great experience ❤
Yeah but apple has become anti consumer and anti competitive. Hope RE does not learn those things from Apple.
Congratulation Siddharth & RE team for getting such a wonderful machine to the customer... Understanding the riders mind.....RE is making more new riders to explore more...
Siddharth Lal brought RE to life when people forgot pure motorcycling- fun and keeping the Emotion intact.
All can see the sparkle in his eyes when he talk about motorcycling.
411 was meant to scale down to 350 cc to serve as new engine in line-up but it did the Job well with Himalayan.
Siddharth is the man who gives wings to this legendary brand ❤❤❤. We old school bike lovers always respect him♥️♥️
The right man at the right place at the right time and for me the right product in these times with so much overequiped bikes!
I will buy the new Himalayan (and not the new GS) as soon as possible here in germany 😊
It will be my second RE beside my beloved 350 classic, which is an absolutely good mood machine 👍
All the two wheeler cruisers marketing business trade hub and the entrepreneurs and stakeholders holders international and National very happy to bring him back into business and asked him to push hard and switch to next level 🌹🌹
brilliant podcast guys - can't wait to see the new bike
The very first bike I was so impressed was UCE 535 continental gt in 2013. It totally captured my imagination and resonated very well with the pholosophy of what RE is capable of making. I am no longer the owner of RE but I admire Siddharth Lal for his vision and his passion to build very exciting products. The second was the Interceptor 650 and such a beautiful and a buttery smooth bike. I wish the new Himalayan breaches all the barriers of its predecessor and come out in flying colors.
@Siddhartha Lal : Thank you for your efforts around the Royal Enfield brand. It's clear that you're really interested in building beautiful, accessible and long-lasting motorcycles! That's why I bought a Royal Enfield in 2023. I'm already excitedly waiting for the Himalayan 452 or the upcoming Scram 452.👍
Congratulations Mr.Lal. Your engineering ethos reminds me of another living legend from the UK, Gordon Murray. You should invite him to RE.
I wish I could still windsurf, that time has gone, but now I'm back with my first love, exploring on two wheels. 👍
Siddhartha Lal's statement reflects a shift in perspective within the world of motorcycling, particularly with the introduction of the Royal Enfield Himalayan. Traditionally, motorcycles were often associated with sheer power and force, emphasizing a robust, brawny image. However, Lal suggests that the paradigm has changed, drawing a parallel with the legendary Bruce Lee.
The emphasis on strength, agility, quickness, and intelligence, rather than just brute force, indicates a more nuanced approach to designing motorcycles. This philosophy aligns with the characteristics required for successful adventure touring, where riders face diverse terrains and challenges. The mention of the Himalayan in this context reinforces the idea that this motorcycle is designed not just for the conventional roads but for a variety of terrains, capturing the essence of adventure touring.
The podcast seems to offer an intriguing exploration into the making of the Royal Enfield Himalayan, presenting it as a machine inspired by a connection with the mighty mountains. Lal's statement sets the tone for the podcast, suggesting that the Himalayan is more than just a motorcycle; it's a symbol of a new era in motorcycling that values a combination of physical and mental attributes.
Loved the podcast and Siddharth... thanks ❤
That's a good interview
Best of luck 🤞 your all bikes in growth 📈 i wish you
La libertad de un hombre hecha maquina, una obra de arte industrial que representa la virtud de una cultura justo en el umbral de hacerse potencia mundial.
Before I get the Himalayan, I want Sid's Pine Green T shirt
In top level it is consumer first company… but in dealer side that mantra do not exist…
Bring it soon to Brazil!
Thank you Sir for doing frequent experiment with your engineers potentialities and skills and with the capabilities of your each and every categorised motorcycle which are quite capable enough to stand attentive and can be one of the top three among the world’s leading cruiser segments category and testing the endurance and energy which is getting squeezed and exposed and getting exposure on day to day life if he or she is idolising his or her strength to acts as an armour of his or her vehicle or the jockey or hunter of his or her horse and the best part is the way it has been showcased and sagregated and the segmented for each and every terrain and the mannerisms of acting upon is amazing thank you to you and each and every individual who is and who currently are appointed and who was part of your entire venture is quite extravagant 🌹🙏
Siddhartha Sir we are not scorchers but we sumtimes used to roam with portable miniature cylinders and tiny over and tents and portable chairs on our typical chariots which are equipped with only nuts and bolts and metals and rotate on wheel 🛞 yes we are a traveller and love to travel on our motorcycles which are delivered and getting delivery after successful PDI 🙏🌹
I don't know if this comment would reach Siddharth, but the suspension needs a rebound setting for the front forks 🫡.
Basanti !!! RE 450 nailed it.
Sehr informatives Video.
top bloke !
Next RE has to be "The PatKai Enduro" after HIMALAYA. Please built one Bike For FOREST TERRAIN. AFTER Ladakh.
what is patkai enduro
Even if only a handful of people left who are not specsheet warriers, I will be one of them.
Great insights on how we made the quality to the top class. As an owner of Royal enfield 500 classic, only one suggestion is to redifine this current sub quality service model. After every service, the vehicle is getting crampy. Lets take and focus towards providing a great service for the customers
The adjective is to spread and to spread and to react as a typical mythological bug and to bug each and every sick pivoted minds of any adolescent and new buyers who are thinking of climbing and to hop and jump into the career of riding 🙏🌹I want that exposure should get clicked and capture by Royal Enfield 🙏🌹
Please introduce some matcho colors in classic 350 ( chrome)
When should we expect scram 450
I own TBTS, Hunter and recently got Interceptor, TBTS had hell lot of issues but i still keep it, RE has cone long way but Inty engine still makes some weird noise after long ride. I dont know if itll take another decade to make quite engines like Triumph.
I adore my 535 GT, but I daily ride a 22 Himalayan that I picked up in September and already clocked over 2500 miles. I dont plan on driving any of the cars anytime soon and its winter here now.
Please get the tubeless spoke wheels as soon as possible, try to pull some strings but get it before next riding season.
What is cost of new himalayan 452
Im more curious to know what they have in mind for parallel twin engine? They should come up with 865cc.
Sir don’t think about the speculation which currently are the driving chain but always be focussive for the supply chain management and yes we all are there 🙏🌹
Hi Siddharth
Pls introduce tubeless tyre for scram 411 and 452 Himalayan
Rally Version is coming with regular one..? I want rally version.
I will say proudly that .. Himalyan Is the only one real bike by Royal Enfield India ....it's the dream by makers .. let's see how promising they are with themselves...❤
I have heard that this same engine is going to be offered in two more formats of bikes. One will be a Roadster with 18 inch or 17 inch front and rear wheel. and another would be a Scram with a 19 inch front with 17 inch rear wheel derived from the new Himalayan. What I am looking for is a good all rounder bike with hassle free maintainance i.e. basic things like Tubeless tyres is a must.
See bikewale, I think you'll find it going to be a five bike range.
Hi Sid, If you want , when you go to the Phillipines your welcome to use my new house, just competed, on Olango island, near Cebu., as a base.., for your exploratory adventures. As a previous owner of a Himalayan, (2016 model ) I look forward to the New model.
😊 be true & the rest will follow .. . .
❤
❤️💝✌️
Please Give Us Classic 650 Please... I'm Unfortunate To Miss The Classic 500... I Own An Thunderbird 350X... I'm Waiting For 650 In A Classic... Or Bullet 650/500 Will Be A Big Hit...

Still waiting for my Himalayan here in Germany 🇩🇪

I pre booked Himalayan and the tentative delivery date is open March 2024!! What! Really?
I want to meet Siddharth lal regarding himalayan 450 issues
But what's the price? :D
Kyou Sir kyou aap itne aache ho aur aapse bhi aache aapke papa aur pure entire family anyways thank you 🙏 thank you bhai thank you Sir ❤️🌹🙏
😭😭Sir mere pass bhi Bullet 350 military black hai aur yah Maine 17 September 2023 ko Li Thi Aur Tab Se is mein (Mil) 😭😭 light ki problem a Rahi Thi Aur Jiske Liye service centre Walon Ne iska front tyre aur rear tyre ki abs wire our heating sensor oil temperature sensor oxygen sensor and (ecu ) ye sab chize Do Do Bar change kar di hai aur uske bad bhi wo problem solve nahi ho rahi hai ab m kya kru kuch smjh nhi arha hai 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
You want to do world ride but u r not giving cruise control?
Scram 450!!!!
Dear Sir, if you can’t deliver a product request you to not launch the product
Dear sidharth ji..
Regular bullet must require alloy wheels.plz do the needful ASAP
Why does the bike keep stalling@ high altitude? It's named Himalayan built & tested in the Himalayas yet a couple of your test mules conked...
For myself, brother, it was the Throttle position sensor that required adjustment for stalling.
Your words are sugar coated sir. But if you can work out on customer services, could have been better.
This too is 196 kilos. RE needs a special variant that's 176 kilos or lesser.
If you don't offroad a lot then take the crash guards off, also the center stand. It'll feel lighter
Traction control would be best if provided.
BS4 is the best version of Himalayan free from all issues..
I wanna be a part of the team
please make super moto version of this
Give cruise control as option
Cruise control sucks for Indian highways
@@ageless1003 bro highways are becoming better & this bike is capable for world touring i am asking this as option, jisko chaiye woh le sake
@@SarvanDhadhichyou can always add a aftermarket one if you wish so. RE is not ready to risk lawsuits because of bad roads and immature drivers in the country
@@Shreddderrr cruise control is normal now for cars & tvs has also given in the rtr 310 I don't think there is any risk for RE, aftermarket cruise control is a headache to install & can lapse warranty
awesome product again but somewhere we are losing that long thumping slow revving feel, a maxhismo 500 would take eternity to sound the next beat dhug….,,,, dhug…… dhug and now it is all about faster revs😢
Can't happen because of emission standards
But that slow responsive throttle is going to be a issue
The bike looks absolutely awesome. As i have seen a lot of video's about this model already, and yes, also Itchy Boots own test ride with about 4200 km on the bike, i must say, this is the one i want.
But oh horror, yes, the nightmare for adv bikes are the electronics.
As for me, give me a Mahindra Jeep above a Land Rover.
Electronics suck. Those are good for fat rich custom cruiser riders, or sport car's millionaires.
A common peasant has to repair as much as possible all by himself.
So why, oh why, this ride by wire thingy?
Give the cable throttle option, please.
Sir product is good but dealers ship, sale and service making non sense behavior with customer end of day royal Enfield back to 2001 time - delhi review for LAMBHA ENTERPRISE, NEW DELHI - 110018
Everything is good just add cruise control.
Sir adventure bike not tourer
@@tatyasahebbhosale2350 sir it's have two models I think . One is rally and another one is adventure touring , so I am just washing for a cruise control option for the adventure touring model 😁.
Super meteor Chain Sporket issue karo kuch pehle
Tubeless spokes at the earliest please.
Talk to Government
@@tatyasahebbhosale2350 thats the job of manufacturer, not consumer
For god sake RE, please introduce a vTwin!!!
75th like
14:35 Tata Motors should learn from RE.
