Returning after a hiatus of three years, this year, the Royal Enfield Himalayan Odyssey will see riders follow two different routes. While both groups will be flagged off from Delhi together, one group will ride to Ladakh via the picturesque Manali route and the other will traverse the rugged Sangla-Kaza route, before finally converging at Leh. Riding through Ladakh and Spiti will challenge the rider in terms of weather and terrain, while also experiencing an adventure of a lifetime.

Flagged off from the India Gate - New Delhi in the traditional Ladakhi ceremony, the riding contingent was blessed by Buddhist Lamas who chanted prayers to bless the riders at the flag-off ceremony. This year, participants for Royal Enfield Himalayan Odyssey congregated from across Singapore, Saudia Arabia, the USA, as well as from cities like Mumbai, Pune, Madurai, Delhi, Bangalore, Anantapur and Vijayawada, among others, to be a part of this epic ride.

Speaking at the flag-off ceremony Mohit Dhar Jayal, Chief Brand Officer, Royal Enfield, said, “The Himalayas are Royal Enfield’s spiritual home, and the Himalayan Odyssey is an ode to the undying spirit of exploration and motorcycling adventure since its inception in 1997. This edition marks a significant chapter in our endeavors to explore more as we travel to Umling La, the new highest motorable pass in the world. In 2019, we took a step towards reducing the plastic footprint with our #LeaveEveryPlaceBetter initiative and this year we continue our journey towards preserving and sustaining the delicate environment of the Himalayas with our ‘Responsible Travel’ initiative. We hope our efforts will help nurture an environmentally aware and conscientious community of riders and these 70 riders will become an inspiration for responsible motorcycle journeys, for other riders as well.”

June marks the start of the riding season in the Himalayas with thousands of riders traversing the Ladakh and Spiti region of the Himalayas. Royal Enfield has set up a comprehensive service network in the region that caters to the riders who require service support at 17,982 feet. Under this program called the ‘Leh Rider’s Support’ the company has nearly 66 service touch points across 6 routes with 175 skilled service technicians to ensure that the riders have a hassle-free riding experience throughout the riding season.

Returning after three years, Himalayan Odyssey is one of the biggest motorcycle rides of its kind in the world, which will see over 70 participants traversing the mighty Himalayan terrain, covering a distance of close to 2,700 kilometres in 18 days on their Royal Enfield motorcycles.

To be held from July 2 to July 18, 2022, it will bring riders from across India together and provide them with an unlimited supply of breathtaking views of intimidating terrain throughout the journey. Registrations are now open online at the RE website.

The 18th edition of the Himalayan Odyssey will be flagged off from Delhi and traverse towards Umling La - the new highest motorable road in the world at 19,024 feet above sea level. The expedition will follow two routes and while both the groups will be flagged off from Delhi together, each will ride on different routes before finally converging at Leh. Through the ride, the participants will traverse across the picturesque regions of the Himalayas in Ladakh as well as Spiti. While both the regions will throw hostile challenges at the riders in terms of weather and terrain, the riders will also get to experience an adventure like no other.

With a view to reducing the impact on the fragile ecosystem of the Himalayas, this edition of the Himalayan Odyssey will continue to bring awareness to the Royal Enfield journey of sustainability. While traversing through some of the roughest terrains, and highest mountain passes in the world, navigating through empty stretches of pristine landscape and rock-strewn pathways, this year the Himalayan Odyssey contingent will also be strongly propagating the concept of a sustainable motorcycle journey.

Set up in partnership with GPX, this announcement is a significant boost to the company’s business in South-East Asia and further reiterates Royal Enfield’s commitment to the Asia Pacific Region. With this, the company now has three local CKD (Completely Knocked Down) units - in Argentina, and Colombia in Latin America, and in Thailand - in addition to the three state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Chennai, India.

The local assembly unit in Thailand will be based at Gateway City Industrial Estate, Moo 7 Huasamrong, Plaengyao Chachoengsao. In addition to catering to consumers in Thailand, this assembly unit will act as a distribution hub for all other countries in South-East Asia, including Indonesia, Vietnam, etc., thereby offering significant advantages and growth opportunities for Royal Enfield. To begin with, the facility will start local assembly of the Himalayan, Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 models, starting this month.

Thailand has been a critical market for Royal Enfield since the brand’s market foray in 2015. Having made significant strides in the country and the APAC region, Royal Enfield is now amongst the top five players in the premium, mid-size motorcycle segment in markets such as Thailand, Australia, New Zealand and Korea. With a burgeoning consumer base in the Asia Pacific, and a significant retail network in the region, the new local assembly unit will be a critical boost for business growth in Southeast Asia.

We can see in the spy video that the new Royal Enfield Himalayan variant is undergoing some sort of road testing. The motorcycle is being ridden on a two-lane highway. While the speed at which the two-wheeler is moving has not been recorded, we guess it might be cruising between 80-100 kmph.

The spy video first shows the rear end of the new Royal Enfield Himalayan variant and it looks similar to that of the current model. There is the same LED tail lamp accompanied by an identical set of turn signals. During the later part of the footage, the test mule has been captured from the right side angle which reveals key details of the upcoming motorcycle.

The new Royal Enfield Himalayan variant would not feature a rear rack for carrying luggage. It has been replaced by a compact pillion grab rail. Apart from that, other elements like the exhaust, side panels, split seats appear to be untouched. However, the front rack has been removed to give way for small fuel-tank shrouds that are likely to bear some graphics in the production-ready model.

Other changes on the new Royal Enfield Himalayan variant that we can see in the spy video include a minimal instrument cluster, perhaps, similar to the one that the company uses in the Royal Enfield Meteor 350. The front fork gaiters are missing. The new model also has a redesigned headlight mask that imparts a cleaner look. It would also have a smaller front wheel when compared to the 21-inch unit in the current Himalayan.

The new Royal Enfield Himalayan variant, which we can see in the spy image, has multiple changes when compared to the Himalayan that is currently on sale. For instance, this model is missing the front windscreen. It is also fitted with a minimal-looking instrument cluster that appears to be similar to what we have seen on the Royal Enfield Meteor 350. The new model also has a redesigned headlight mask that imparts a cleaner look.

Another major change in the new Royal Enfield Himalayan version is the front wheel. This one seems to be fitted with a smaller front wheel when compared to the 21-inch unit in the current Himalayan. Apart from that, there are no front racks. We can also see a new single-piece seat followed by a tail rack. The beak at the front of the motorcycle is also missing indicating that this version could be a road-biased trim.

As for the engine, previous spy shots hint that the new Royal Enfield Himalayan variant would be powered by the same 411cc single-cylinder motor that the company is using in the current model. However, the company might make some minor alterations to make the engine even smoother.

Considering all the aforementioned changes, it is being speculated that the new Royal Enfield Himalayan variant would be a road-focused model. It is also expected to be a more affordable option for the customers when compared to the current Himalayan whose ex-showroom price has crossed the INR 2 lakh mark.

We can see in the image that the overall design of the road-focused Royal Enfield Himalayan would be similar to the current model that’s on sale. However, there are some noticeable differences. For instance, the road-focused model misses out on the large windscreen. It is also devoid of the front rack. Instead, there are tank shrouds present. We can see them in the picture bearing “411” numbering. The front wheel is also smaller.

Also Read: New Royal Enfield Classic 350 Fresh Spy Pics Reveal Colour Options

Another big change in the road-focused Royal Enfield Himalayan is the instrument cluster. Instead of the busy and eye-catching setup from the current model, RE would use a simple arrangement, perhaps, similar to what we have seen on the Royal Enfield Meteor 350. So, Tripper Navigation would be included. Since there’s no windscreen here, a redesigned headlight mask has been added for a cleaner look.

Apart from that, the pillion grab rail is different and there’s no rear luggage rack. The recently spied prototype did not have fork gaiters but it was fitted with hard case panniers. The clay model in the new picture is wearing fork gaiters but there are no panniers. This indicates that these parts are likely to be available as optional accessories.

With the omission of parts like the windscreen, front rack, and instrument cluster with multiple dials; and running a smaller front wheel, we believe that the price of the road-focused Royal Enfield Himalayan would be lesser compared to that of the current model. Perhaps, this would open doors for a wider range of customers to experience a Himalayan.

It is quite evident in the spy shots that the Royal Enfield Himalayan undergoing road testing is missing a windshield. The motorcycle is also not fitted with fork gaiters. Another major change that we can see in the pictures is that the front wheel of the prototype appears to be of a smaller size than that of the current Himalayan which uses a 21-in setup.

While the shape of the fuel tank, rearview mirrors, headlight assembly, instrument cluster; all look the same, the front rack has been removed. It is replaced by tank shrouds. Apart from that, the exhaust, taillight, and side panels have been left untouched. We reckon, perhaps, the test mule is also wearing road-biased tyres instead of dual-purpose knobbier ones that we find in the present Royal Enfield Himalayan.

All these aforementioned elements that have been revealed in the spy shots, points in the direction that this Royal Enfield Himalayan could indeed be a road-focused version. It would prove to be a good option for riders who wish to cover long distances on the tarmac and not take their motorcycle off-road; an area where the current Himalayan excels.

Details regarding the engine of the new Himalayan are not known as of now. It’s quite likely that Royal Enfield will use the same 411cc single that we see in the current model, however, the company might make some minor alterations to make the motor even smoother. We are expecting to see more spy shots of the Himalayan in its new avatar in the near future.

To be honest, the output of the combination of the two motorcycles doesn’t look bad. We can see in the rendering that the artist has used the fuel tank, engine, side body panels, rear fender and the tail light setup of the Honda H’ness CB 350. In fact, the exhaust is also from the Honda but it has been given a larger upswept angle to suit the overall look of this rendered motorcycle.

From the Royal Enfield Himalayan, we have the headlight, front beak, handlebar, large windscreen, and rearview mirrors. Other parts like the entire instrument cluster, front rack, split seats, and rear rack have also been borrowed from the Himalayan. It appears that even the whole frame along with the suspension setup has been taken from the dual-purpose motorcycle.

It’s not just the Himalayan and the H’ness CB350 whose parts have been utilised here. Perhaps, to spice things up a little, the artist has gone ahead with the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 front wheel with the rotor. The rear wheel looks like a customised part but wears a wide and dual-purpose tyre. Overall, the motorcycle in the rendering appears to be in proportion. It might not perform like either of the parent models, but it sure looks pretty interesting, doesn’t it?

Royal Enfield has also said that considering the local lockdowns across states and Union Territories impacting retail operations, it does not foresee any significant impact of temporarily halting production on its ability to fulfil the demand. However, the company will continue to monitor the situation closely and take appropriate actions as the situation progresses; and in line with the directives being issued by the government and administrative authorities.

Royal Enfield teams are focused on ensuring support for employees and communities around its facilities. The company has issued advisories to all dealerships in India to adhere to local regulations and follow local administrative orders, as may apply. All other employees across Royal Enfield's offices, including corporate offices in Chennai and Gurgaon, continue to work from home until further notice.

Royal Enfield is not the only automobile company to shut down its manufacturing facilities in light of the second wave of the deadly coronavirus. Earlier this month, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. (HMSI) had also announced that it will temporarily halt the production operations across all its four manufacturing plants in the country (from 1st May to 15th May 2021).

Royal Enfield is expanding aggressively across Asia as it aims to tap into the world’s biggest motorcycle market after India. The company now operates in several countries in the region including Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines. In Thailand, RE has 36 showrooms and plans to open a new factory which would be the second overseas plant for the company after its manufacturing facility in Argentina. Royal Enfield’s Thailand plant would be a hub for exports to other countries in Asia.

In the last few years, Royal Enfield has started its operations in several ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries including Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia. With the brand’s major share of sales coming from India, which is the world’s biggest market for motorcycles, Royal Enfield will be increasingly looking to expand its presence in other strong motorcycle markets in the region.

In other news, Royal Enfield had filed a trademark application for the moniker “Royal Enfield Shotgun”. The application was submitted online in April 2021.

The Royal Enfield Himalayan that we see in the above video is a rental motorcycle. It was two-month-old and had about 1400 miles (2250km approx) on its odometer when the rider rented it for four days. During this period, she rode the bike in the city, on highways, as well as on country and mountain roads. However, she didn’t cover any off-road tracks as the owner of the motorcycle had requested not to. Over four days, she clocked around 250 miles (400km approx) on the Himalayan and is now sharing her experience and what she thinks about the motorcycle.

The rider owns a Triumph Street Triple R (675), and coming from an inline 3-cylinder motorcycle to a single-cylinder machine, she finds the Royal Enfield Himalayan to be quite forgiving. When compared to her naked sportbike, the Himalayan's throttle responds with less urgency. While the dual-sport bike has got enough grunt to maintain decent highway speeds, it doesn’t like to be ridden hard, especially in the twisties.

The Royal Enfield Himalayan is a tall motorcycle. It has a good amount of ground clearance so that it can go over most of the obstacles one would encounter during off-road riding. Being a short person, the rider didn’t actually have any issues managing the motorcycle but she couldn’t keep both her feet down at the same time. She also talks about how the Himalayan would prove to be a comfortable bike for tall riders.

The rider tells that she has ridden a few single-cylinder motorcycles in the past, including a KTM 390 Duke, however, she finds the Royal Enfield Himalayan to be the most refined. The vibrations are contained but they do creep in onto the handlebars which can be felt after being on the saddle for a longer duration. She appreciates the wind protection that the stock windscreen offers and the onboard compass that’s located on the motorcycle’s instrument cluster.

In the USA, the Royal Enfield Himalayan is available in 6 colour options and costs USD 4,999 (INR 3.67 lakh). The company is yet to launch the updated model (with Tripper Navigation) in the country.

The SG 411 has been created by Smoked Garage which is a motorcycle customisation shop. As per the information available, it’s based in Jakarta, Indonesia. These guys have transformed a Royal Enfield Himalayan into an alien-looking motorcycle. So much customisation has gone into this project that if it wasn’t for the engine, one couldn’t even say that it’s a Himalayan.

While we wouldn’t be going through each and every custom part that has been fitted on this Royal Enfield Himalayan, we would be pointing out some of the key ones. For example, it seems that the entire frame has been redesigned to accommodate the gorgeous fuel tank and rear monoshock. We can see that the swingarm has been replaced as well. The SG 411 is a single-seater and has a minimal-looking rear end. What appears to be a couple of vertical metal plates are the taillights of the motorcycle.

Smoke Garage has also used adjustable USD front forks and a custom handlebar. The wheels seem to be new as well. They are running on really wide tyres that should be able to perform quite well in mild off-road conditions. For the stopping power, there is a pair of rotors up-front and a single one at the back. We think that the engine of this custom Royal Enfield Himalayan must have been kept in stock condition, however, there’s indeed an aftermarket free-flow exhaust slapped on.

The SG 411 is one badass custom Royal Enfield Himalayan. Is it a thumbs up or thumbs down for you guys? Let us know in the comments below and keep checking  IndianAutosBlog.com for more such interesting stories.

The 2021 model of the Himalayan has been launched recently. It was one of the highly awaited motorcycles of the year. To make things interesting, Royal Enfield has added a few new features and tweaked some parts. One of the biggest attractions of the 2021 Himalayan is the Tripper Navigation which was introduced in the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 last year. This system basically allows riders to connect their smartphones to it via Bluetooth and benefit from the turn-by-turn navigation details. It is powered by Google Maps and Royal Enfield app.

The Royal Enfield Himalayan enjoys a huge fan base in Kerala and the updated model with new colours and elements, and MIY (Make-It-Yours) customisation feature, has further enhanced the excitement levels of the customers in the state. No wonder why Royal Enfield has been able to sell 100 units of the Himalayan in a single day here!

Apart from the Tripper Navigation, the 2021 Royal Enfield Himalayan comes with a redesigned windscreen that is tinted and a bit taller and wider. Also, it carries the company’s branding at the bottom. The company has also worked on the seat to enhance the overall comfort levels, especially during long-distance rides. Taking feedback from the customers, Royal Enfield has altered the design of the front rack. It is now smaller and also has a different shape. As a result, taller riders’ knees wouldn’t come in contact with it even while standing and riding. The rear rack has also been revised and can carry loads of up to 7kg.

The engine of the new Royal Enfield Himalayan remains the same - a 411cc single churning out 24.3 bhp of max power at 6500 rpm and 32 Nm of peak torque in the 4000 to 4500 rpm range. For the transmission, there’s a 5-speed gearbox. Royal Enfield has also kept the suspension, brakes, tyres, and wheels untouched.

The video has been uploaded by YouTuber Uncle Voodoo. We can see that the Royal Enfield Himalayan in the footage is carrying numerous accessories. To begin with, the owner has increased the height of the front fender by adding 10mm spacers. This should prevent mud/sludge from getting accumulated between the tyre and the fender. Moving on, there is a headlight grille in place to protect the headlamp from dirt and debris that one might encounter while riding off-road and on highways.

Also Read: New Royal Enfield Himalayan: What Makes it Better than Old Model?

Some riders have had reported that the stock windscreen of the Himalayan directs the wind right onto their helmets which becomes difficult to manage and could result in neckache. Perhaps, to solve that problem, a smaller windscreen has been installed here. Then we’ve got Barkbuster knuckle guards, a 12V charger socket, a USB charger socket, and a small receipt holder placed on the frame behind the triple tree.

Apart from that, we can also see a high-quality mobile holder with arrangements to damp out the vibrations. There are two large jerry cans mounted on the front rack. The stock rearview mirrors are swapped with aftermarket ones that offer better visibility behind and freedom of adjustment. The owner has also added a rear brake master cylinder protector. The taillamp appears to have been taken from either the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 or the Continental GT 650. The indicators are round in shape and add a retro look.

For the luggage, hard case panniers with their respective racks are fitted. The rear carrier is also new. It is much larger than the stock one and also appears to be much sturdier. It could carry a good amount of load, too.

So these were some of the Royal Enfield Himalayan touring accessories that one should check out. Did you find anything useful for your motorcycle and needs? Let us know in the comments below. Also, if you have made any other modification to your Himalayan, do share with us that, too.

New Useful & Practical Features

Royal Enfield has added a few new features and tweaked a few parts to enhance the overall ride and ownership experience of the Himalayan. The primary addition to the new model is the Tripper Navigation. It made its debut with the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 that was launched in India last year.

Basically, it allows riders to connect their smartphones via Bluetooth and benefit from the turn-by-turn navigation details. This feature should, if not fully eliminate, reduce the usage of aftermarket mobile mounts for navigation purposes. Also, considering that many riders use the Himalayan for long-distance touring, the presence of an in-built navigation feature would certainly be beneficial. It would also come in handy even while commuting in the cities.

Royal Enfield has also redesigned the windscreen. It is slightly taller and also appears to be a bit wider to cover up the Tripper Navigation module. It is tinted and bears the company’s branding at the bottom. RE has also worked on the seat to make it more comfortable especially for long rides. The front rack has been redesigned so that taller riders don’t need to worry about their knees coming in contact with it, especially while standing and riding. Also, the rear carrier has been tweaked. It is now smaller and sits almost flush with the pillion seat. It can carry loads of up to 7kg.

New Colours

To keep things fresh in the aesthetics department, Royal Enfield has added 3 new colour options for the 2021 Himalayan. There’s a camouflage Pine Green, bold and masculine Granite Black, and beautiful and striking Mirage Silver. Apart from the new colour options, Gravel Grey, Lake Blue, and Rock Red paint schemes from the previous model have been carried over. So which one would you pick?

New Yet Old

Royal Enfield hasn’t really changed the rudimentary elements of the Himalayan. The updated model continues to draw power from the same 411cc single-cylinder engine which puts out 24.3 bhp of max power at 6500 rpm and 32 Nm of peak torque in the 4000 to 4500 rpm range. Even the suspension setup, chassis, braking system, wheels as well as the tyres have been carried forward. It is being said that the motorcycle has been refined even further but we will have to ride it to comment on that.

Even though the mechanicals of the new Himalayan is almost the same as before, we think that the added features would make a difference and make the updated model a better overall package. We feel that people would appreciate the minor changes as they clock some miles on the odo.

These were the reasons which make the new Royal Enfield Himalayan better than the old model. What are your views about it? Let us know in the comments below.

The video has been uploaded by YouTuber MSD Vlogs. It has been recorded at a Royal Enfield dealership. In focus is a brand-new Himalayan flaunting its beautiful Mirage Silver colour which bears a couple of dark grey stripes on the sides of the fuel tank. The side panels and both fenders of the motorcycle have the same shade of silver. RE has painted the exhaust heat shield black for contrast.

The new feature at the rear of the 2021 Himalayan is the revised carrier. It is smaller and now sits almost inline with the pillion seat. It also has a metal sheet on top. It has been designed to carry a load of up to 7kg. We wouldn’t be surprised to see several aftermarket accessories specifically designed for this updated rear carrier in the future.

Royal Enfield has also changed the seat in the new Himalayan for enhanced rider comfort allowing for non-stop, long-distance touring. Moving to the front, there’s a new smoked flyscreen which is a bit longer than that of the previous model. It also carries ‘Royal Enfield’ branding at the bottom. The front rack for carrying jerry cans have been tweaked as well. It is smaller and has a new shape. We doubt that the accessories and luggage options created for the previous Himalayan’s front rack would fit the new one.

The primary new feature of the 2021 Royal Enfield Himalayan is the Tripper Navigation system. It was introduced with the Meteor 350 last year. Now, it has made its way to the new Himalayan and would be provided with future RE motorcycle as well. It is a Bluetooth-enabled system which allows riders to connect their smartphones and benefit from the turn-by-turn navigation details. When not being used for directions, it shows a digital clock.

As for the engine, no changes have been implemented. Even the mechanicals have been left untouched. Apart from the Mirage Silver colour shown in the video, there are two other new colour options - Pine Green and Granite Black.

Following is a detailed colour-wise price table of 2021 Royal Enfield Himalayan for your reference:

*On-road

We recently reported about the Mirage Silver colour option of the upcoming Himalayan that was revealed via a bunch of spy shots. And now, we have come across a new spy picture that shows the Pine Green colour of the updated model which appears to be parked at a dealership’s warehouse.

What we can infer from the above spy image is that the Pine Green shade of the 2021 Royal Enfield Himalayan would have been created as a camouflage colour option for the customers. It features a light green base paint with dark green camo graphics on parts like the sides of the front fender and fuel tank and whole side panels. Most likely, this will be the only colour option in which the redesigned front rack for carrying jerry cans is not finished in black.

Apart from the three new colour options, Royal Enfield is expected to carry forward the Gravel Grey, Lake Blue, and Rock Red paint schemes from the Himalayan’s existing model. So, the new model would have a total of 6 colour options. Which one would you pick and why? Let us know in the comment section below.

Some of the other new features that would be included in the 2021 Himalayan include a newly designed windscreen, blacked-out headlight mask, revised rear rack, improved seat for enhanced comfort, and, of course, RE’s Tripper Navigation System.
