The Himalayan 452 will now be replacing the current generation of the Himalayan 411. In terms of power and technology, the 452 is better than the 411 model.

Royal Enfield recently revealed the new generation Himalayan, and it will make its debut at EICMA 2023 on November 7. Royal Enfield is likely to reveal the official price of the Himalayan 452 at Royal Enfield’s yearly Motoverse motorcycle festival (previously known as Rider Mania) in Goa between November 24-26. In the Indian market, the Himalayan 411 was launched in 2016. The Himalayan 411 model will not be continued further. The Himalayan 452 will now be replacing the current generation of the Himalayan 411. Customers who prefer the old version can go for the Scram 411, which is the road-friendly version of the Himalayan 411, and it will stay on sale.

In terms of power and technology, the new Himalayan 452 is different from the 411 model. The Himalayan 452 comes with a new dual-spar tubular frame; at the front, the frame is suspended by up-side-down 43 mm forks, and at the rear, a monoshock. On the other hand, the Himalayan 411 uses a half-duplex, split cradle frame; at the front, the frame is suspended by 41-mm telescopic forks, and a monoshock is at the rear.

The features in the new-generation 452 are more enhanced than those in the 411. The 452 comes equipped with features like a new Tripper navigation system and Bluetooth connectivity, ride-by-wire, riding modes, an adjustable, and a tail rack.

The Himalayan 452 and 411 both ride on 21-inch wheels in the front and a 17-inch unit at the rear. When compared, the Himalayan 452 will also come with tubeless spoked wheels. At the rear, the new-gen motorcycle has a radial tyre. It also has larger and more robust brakes.

The Royal Enfield Himalayan 452 is powered by the Sherpa 450 engine. The engine is mated to a six-speed gearbox accompanied by a slip and assist clutch, and it churns out 39.5 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 40 Nm at 5,500 rpm. The Sherpa 450 engine is the first liquid-cooled engine manufactured by Royal Enfield.

The Himalayan 411 utilizes an oil-cooled long-stroke engine that is mated to a five-speed transmission, and at 6,500 rpm it can churn out 24.3 bhp and, at 4000–4500 rpm, a peak torque output of 32 Nm.
