Royal Enfiled is planning to launch a new Himalayan motorcycle in the near future. Interestingly, the brand is likely to offer the new Himalayan with a larger 650cc powertrain. The brand could be working on a development mule for the past 18 months. While there is no substantial evidence about the new motorcycle yet, we believe that the work could be going on behind closed doors. Initially, it was believed that the brand is not planning to introduce a 650cc twin-cylinder Himalayan. But reportedly, the popularity of the motorcycle has led the brand to bring one to the market.
Will it be a Proper Himalayan Adventure Motorcycle
Royal Enfield is likely to use the design and styling of the Himalayan, however, the motorcycle is not likely to be a proper off-roader. The larger powertrain is likely to be too cumbersome for off-roading. Therefore, it is likely that Royal Enfield will position the 650 Himalayan as a highway touring model. But the motorcycle is likely to come with rugged features and tyres that will allow the rider to ride trails with ease. Royal Enfield could employ 19-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke wheels and also offer alloy wheels as an option. This could also help the brand bifurcate the model into two variants. The brand is likely to employ the same robust styling of the Himalayan, such as the rounded headlamp, boxy fuel tank, a tall windscreen, an expansive dashboard, ergonomic seats, luggage mounting points etc.
Himalayan 650 Engine Specifications
Powering the Himalayan 650 could be the same 648cc, air, and oil-cooled, parallel-twin engine. The engine produces 47 PS of power and 52 Nm of torque. The motor comes with a 6-speed gearbox and a wet multi-plate clutch. Royal Enfield employs the engine on the RE Interceptor 650 and RE Continental GT650. The engine on the Himalayan could be tuned in a specific way to offer both highway and trail dynamics.
