Royal Enfield Himalayan ADV is among the most favorite ADV bike in India. However, a new 450cc Himalayan will be launched leading to its discontinuation.
- A new 450cc Himalayan is on its way to the global market
- The Scram 411 solves a lot of purposes of the current Himalayan 411
- The discontinuation of 411cc Himalayan might take place simultaneously with the launch of the new 450cc bike
Royal Enfield is on an expansion spree. It is introducing new models with better equipment and refined tech. One such model to be added soon is the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. However, with its addition, the current Himalayan 411 goes out of the box. Hence, we tell you whether the company will discontinue the current Himalayan or not. Read below.
Royal Enfield Himalayan ADV Discontinuation
The company has already teased the 450cc Himalayan. Its test mules have been spied on multiple times now. The bike is already reaching its production-ready form. Additionally, the anticipation says that it will debut by the end of November globally. However, with its addition to the fleet; the current Himalayan has a dicey future. The reason behind it is the already present Scram 411. It is a road-oriented version of the current Himalayan 411. Its launch took place some time back and its popularity of it is already peaking.
However, the 450cc bike will have much more to offer when launched. The current suspicion says that it will have a liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine. This engine will make a peak power of up to 40 bhp and 45 Nm of peak torque. Hence, the lack of road performance of the current Himalayan will be eliminated peacefully by it. Additionally, it will have different riding modes & even more tech like Bluetooth connectivity, etc.
Now, combining both of the scenarios we can see the blurred future of the Himalayan 411. Buyers who are willing to buy the current design Himalayan can access Scram 411 easily. Additionally, it is easy to modify for touring purposes as well. However, the buyers who want a hardcore ADV shall plunge towards the upcoming (which then launched) Himalayan 450. Hence, the need for Himalayan 411 goes out of the box.
Verdict
While this is an anticipation, we're also not making up anything for no reason. Multiple sources on the internet have been reporting the unsaid demise of the Himalayan 411. Meanwhile, there is still time for the official confirmation as the 450 is still away from launch. Once it is in the market, be ready to bid adieu to one of the most favorite ADVs of India - the mighty Himalayan 411.
