The 2018 Royal Enfield Himalayan is equipped with a 411cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that produces a modest 25 horsepower. This is surely the least-expensive adventure touring motorcycle on the market.

The Himalayan’s LS410 overhead-cam engine resides in a split-cradle frame developed by Harris Performance. The fuel-injected engine is mated to a five-speed transmission. Royal Enfield says the engine delivers high torque and usable power at lower RPMs for smooth riding in higher gears at lower speeds, making it easier to climb hills or maneuver through traffic.

The 421-pound (curb weight) motorcycle was built with touring in mind, and arrives with a four-gallon fuel tank, that is capable of over 250 miles of travel. The rider triangle is set for upright comfort, and the seat is 31.5 inches high that allows for flat-footed stops.

The Royal Enfield Himalayan arrives with dual-sport tires (21-inch front; 17-inch rear), and nine inches of ground clearance. Braking is handled by a single 300mm front disc, and a 240mm rear disc.

Royal Enfield says a full range of motorcycle accessories are available, including aluminum panniers, engine guards, aluminum cross-braced handlebars and billet handlebar weights.
