Capable of delivering 39.4 bhp and 40 Nm of peak torque, it is paired with a 6-speed gearbox equipped with a slipper clutch. Recently, we had the opportunity to ride the upgraded Himalayan in the Himalayas and were notably impressed with the extent of the enhancements.
The suspension setup of the Himalayan 450 features USD forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear, both providing 200 mm of travel. The braking system comprises a 320 mm front disc and a 270 mm rear disc. The bike boasts a ground clearance of 230 mm.
The seat height is adjustable, ranging from 825 mm to 845 mm, with an optional lower 805 mm seat available as an accessory.
