The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Rally Edition, an off-road focused motorcycle, has been spotted at EICMA 2024 just hours before its official debut. This highly anticipated bike has been under rigorous testing in India and around the world for several months. Previously, it was seen in action at the Rally de Cuencas in Spain, piloted by renowned Indian rallyist CS Santosh. While the earlier version was a pre-production model, the latest images reveal the final production version, ready to hit the market. Indian motorcycle enthusiasts can look forward to seeing the Rally Edition at Motoverse 2024 in Goa later this month.
