This year is going to be merrier for Royal Enfield fans as the automaker will introduce the much-awaited Himalayan 450 to the nation around the festive season on November 1, 2023. The upcoming motorcycle has been seen doing road tests both inside and outside of India on numerous occasions, which has provided a wealth of information regarding its design and other specifications. It is anticipated that the next Himalayan 450 would be the first Royal Enfield motorcycle to have a liquid-cooled engine, even though the power numbers have not been made public. A 450cc engine's larger displacement will modify the bike's exhaust noise. In addition, the forthcoming bike will feature a circular LED headlamp with a tall windscreen, block pattern tyres, a massive fuel tank, LED taillamps, and more as a part of its design.
