Features

• FITS LIKE AN ADVENTURE GLOVE: The best chassis is the one you don’t notice. From the versatile 21” front 17” rear wheel combination to the large enduro footpegs and wide handlebars, the Himalayan works with you in all situations on or off-road. The slim seat and tank let you get your feet firmly on the ground when you stop, while increased ground clearance and longer travel suspension let you choose the roughest tracks.
• HEART OF THE MOUNTAIN G.O.A.T: Like the high-altitude Sherpa that inspired it, this engine has the torque to pull you out of a sandy hollow at 5,000 meters above sea level while being able to enjoy the 5 day trip back home afterward.
• USD FORKS: Quality suspension lets you keep the bike on the line you’ve chosen over the roughest terrain and that’s exactly what you get from the inverted Showa cartridge fork.
• CHASSIS: The steel twin-spar frame is stronger, stiffer and narrower between the legs for improved comfort while riding in a standing position. Better handling, better stability and better balance.
• RIDE BY WIRE WITH RIDER MODES: Ride-by-wire with four riding modes so you can tune the response to suit the terrain and your mood, while in the background the bike delivers smooth fueling and better fuel economy.
• WATER WADING: Engines and water don’t mix. But adventure and river crossings go hand-in-hand so we developed the Himalayan with a high up air intake under the tank to keep you rolling when the rivers are running high.
• SEAT HEIGHT: Nobody wants to stop riding because they’re saddle sore. So the Himalayan features an adjustable two-piece seat to keep both rider and pillion comfortable, along with an optional low seat to keep your feet on the ground at any altitude.
• SHERPA 450: Like the high-altitude Sherpa that inspired it, this engine has the torque to pull you out of a sandy hollow at 5,000 meters above sea level while being able to enjoy the 5 day trip back home afterward.
• SWITCHGEAR WITH JOYSTICK CONTROL: Joystick control of the easy-to-use dash lets you control music, calls and messages without your hand leaving the bar. If you need to hear Thunderstruck halfway up a gnarly climb, you've got it.
• 17 LITRE TANK CAPACITY: The 17-litre fuel tank and excellent fuel economy mean only one thing - more miles and more exploration between stops. The fact that its narrower and more comfortable is a nice bonus too.
• LED HEADLIGHTS: When plans change and you end up out after dark, the new bright LED headlamp is more visible to errant trucks and better for spotting that stray pothole.
• INTEGRATED TRAFFIC AND TAIL LAMP: Combined tail lamps and rear indicators save weight and keep the back of the bike lighter and neater. LED lighting means more reliability and better visibility when you're back in the city, post adventure.
• TYRE SIZES: 21" front and 17" rear wheels with dual sport tires for a stable, sure-footed feel from both ends, especially on loose, rocky terrain.
• SWITCHABLE ABS: The Himalayan has a sophisticated ABS system to keep you safe when dodging errant dogs and wild trucks. Of course it's switchable, allowing you to use the bike to its full potential in sand and loose surfaces when your riding skills are up to the challenge. Think of it as engaging skid mode.
