Powered by a new 411 cc single cylinder engine which is rated at 24.5 bhp and 32 Nm torque, Himalayan is built on a new chassis which has been designed and developed by UK based Harris Performance Parts, which is now a subsidiary of RE. Interestingly, HPP also helped RE with designing GT’s chassis.

Weighing 182 kgs, it stands at 2190 mm long, 840 mm wide, has a seat height of 800 mm, wheelbase of 1465 mm and ground clearance of 220 mm.
To be priced in the range of INR 1.8 to 2 lakh, Himalayan also comes with a wide range of accessories. This includes metal / leather panniers, jerry cans, etc. While, for Himalayan riders, RE has come up with new accessories too – jackets, helmets, boots, etc.
