Here is the most detailed review of the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 I tell you everything about the design, cluster, features, performance, ride, handling, braking, price, and of course give you a verdict on whether you should buy a Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 in India. This Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 review is a long ride one with a real-world perspective of the KTM 390 Adventure rival from Royal Enfield.
The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is between Rs. 3.31 to 3.48 lakhs (on-road, Mumbai).

This Himalayan never turned back on, it's been 4 days and now it will be sent back to Royal Enfield's plant in Chennai where they will try and figure out what is wrong with the engine (the service centre in Mumbai is clueless)!
Maybe because u rev and shift like a 13 year old’s first time on a motorcycle
Please speak Hindi if you can
@@raaziii666 that should not be an issue brother! Engines need to be able to take so much revving!
@@raaziii666 I was thinking the same while watching then saw this. Ironic 😂
You blew the engine or what ?! That engine is probably dead IMO.
This fellow says it's unreliable. This fellow itself is unreliable.
Exactly
Say something now after the chassis breaking issues😋
@@shreyas8185 only 2 cases have been report past couple of months, do you even know out of how many?
@@shreyas8185 Old gen has chassis issue, the new version doesn't have long term review at all, so we can't say anything
A single cylinder RE engine reachinh 150km, that's something you cannot see everyday!! RE has gone wild with this bike
CB300R left the chat,CB350RS can hit 148kmph,bruh a metal bike with lower cc can hit this 150 fast af😂. And RE hitting 150 may be a miracle cuz they still have those vibrators even at J series

It’s not Royal Enfield’s fault when some idiot abuses a brand new engine. Every time you hit the rev limiter, it made me cringe. They should never let you have another bike.
Bro stop hating so much💀
@@user-du8yr1gq5g This dummy destroyed a brand new engine.
@@critterIMHOr u being fr?
@@DanCantBeBanned Everyone knows you don’t push a brand new engine so hard. They need to be broke in carefully and respected. Royal Enfield should never let this idiot have another bike for testing. The one they gave him is now ruined. I couldn’t believe the level of abuse. And it’s all on video.
@@critterIMHOBro just Chill, He did this to other bikes as well, just Because it's a Royal Enfield Doesn't Mean We Cang Say Shit About the Brand 🗿
You definitely weren’t the right person or the “targeted audience” to be testing this bike.
This Guy is automotive consumer product reviewer, will say everything he wants and get away it. Greatest statement ever " excellent but unreliable "
@@Kingkongcommentscry more
@@ItsMe-pz9mk who can't digest the fact are the one crying lol
@@vaishnav6323yeah u😂
The kms that the bike has driven shows around 240 kms.
And 1st service for this bike is done when the bike completes 500 kms or 45 days (whichever comes earlier) .
And for this 1st 500 kms the recommended Rev RPM is 4000 RPM (This is according to the official booklet provided by RE for the Himalayan).
And you did like 9000 RPM and tested this till the max.
So that’s why it refused to start.
Yes a valid point just a new machine and he raving like hell
That is not an excuse. How come a new Hero splendour willl not conk out no matter what you do but a heavily tested Himalayan goes dead. Besides with modern manufacturing techniques you can rip it from day one. Probably it is a quality control issue.
Reving kevin....
@@rammohang4760there's large difference between HIMALAYAN AND SPLENDOR MANUFACTURING 😮
That is not an excuse for poor engineering on a 2 lakh plus bike
I talked to RE technician regaurding engine stalling issues of 452. They told that engine must be maintained under 4000rpm speeds for 1st service & for 2nd service pessimistically. Later on you can go for higher rpms
They have all sorts of excuses ready for poor engineering.
@@Delta3068 haha right
@@Delta3068 nah, the engine is made up of a lot of moving parts, so when you put these parts together they need some time to adapt to working with one another. It's actually in the bike manual that you have to maintain only upto 4k rpm till first service then till 2k kms 6000 rpm.
@@pranavbala8844 I understand engine life reduction due to incorrect running-in but stalling is a no-no.
If you’re going to push a piece of machinery to the limit… you have to have some sense of where that limit is
Go sleep. U seem tired
@honeyboie Ford VS Ferrari, a man of culture I see
Ride like an amateur and you are guaranteed to break it. Ride it properly and it will be reliable.
Bingo! Absolutely correctly pointed out! Maniacs, they live amongst us, and are overrated automotive review youtubers too!
Bro this bike is meant for an entirely different terrain and landscape.. You have covered the highway part very well, but would have loved to hear your comments in where it belongs 😊
It excels in off-road and we all know that!
@@FasBeamwe all don't know that.would love to see you performing it at high altitudes.❤ U
It's a heavy machine for off roading. In straight line and minor undulation you can stand and ride, but minor tilt and it's difficult to hold.. Once it start falling, it tests your core and shoulder and chest and arm strength..
Xpulse is way more better bike for offroading then Himalayan..
The only positive I see is the road presence. It gives a big bike vibe.. Once you ride this bike, all other bikes give your punny bike feel.
it belongs in the Re service center
@@theraghavsweight is relative. One who rides bigger gs/tiger, it's lighter.
its been a while since i haven't seen Faisal pumping this much adrenaline haha
After Ten days of release, people are talking about the Reliability 😂😂😂
0:52 Circuit board is exposed so quality levels can be improved? Have you even taken a closer look at a LED headlight before bro? Take a look and comeback. Let's see if the circuit board is exposed on that.
12:30 Clutchless shifts happen sometimes and they don't work? What's this dude trying to say? This bike doesn't have a quickshifter bro. What's not working? You hand trying to close the lever?
Brother max throttles the engine like how my 5 year old cousin who twistes the throttle of my bike when the bike is off and then proceeds the call the bike unreliable.
What a rigged review man. Absolutely pathetic.
sane people over here! thanks for the comments!
agree with you bro, but clutchless shifting is actually real thing but extremely hard to perform and not recommended at most times.
and abt the exposed circuit board initial few model had it, but they rectified in the upcoming batches. i even saw some other channel mentioning the same, btw it is not big issue at all.
This is the only reason I open RUclips at 11:30 am every day ☺
It is an offset mono-shock with linkage. Even the older Himalayan hand mono-shock with linkage. This one is offset, allowing for better ground clearance while keeping lower seat height, and narrower vehicle profile.
smashing that rev-limiter does wonders for machinery...
As always one more dazzling review by Faisal. Adding this to my wishlist!
The new Himalayan is not like the old one it had been undergone with whole massive changes.But still it wants some more changes
Great intro to the new enfield Faisal bhai ❤
Love the walk towards the end😂
@17:00 I think heat sink seized the piston & rings to the bore, starter motor can’t overcome this until it cools down, as you’re cranking the engine I guess there is no piston movement (there’s no compression sound/stroke). it’s a new engine n mostly everyone redlined it without changing first engine oil before revving it, new engine will have lot of break in metal shavings which will make it lot worse. IMO.
Yes constant redline on non broke in engine plus just riding it redline for probably a hour.
there is some rattling sound coming... what do you think? is there a play between the starter motor gear and the crankshaft? or the connecting rods and crankshaft? that surely does not sound like the crankshaft is rotating...
9:47 Changing Gears without the clutch and abusing the bike and then calling it unreliable. Yeah alright 😂
Which bike get broke with this much minimal abuse. This is the review unit, so some niggles would always be there. First Lot always has problems.
That’s called clutch-less shifting!!
There is a trick to upshift and downshift gears through throttle modulation
Absolutely rubbish.. clutchless shifting... Bro u should review scooty only.. u abused a new engine..
@@arunverma3402 yeah he did abuse it a bit... but clutchless shifting is a real thing... pls google it...
Nice to see that someone on RUclips is actually honest. Tired of all these reviewers praising the bike to no end.
PR working their magic 😅
I guess it's because you were not counted on for reviews. Probably now you are more biased because of it😅@@FasBeam
Imagine the amount of people not doing extensive research and getting misled by those "reviewers" and then end up buying a vehicle but not getting what they acutally required in reality.
@@JustAnAtheistWhy anyone in their right senses would depend on RUclips reviews for buying a vehicle is beyond me. Before there were RUclips reviews, people would take a test ride or ask those who had already bought the bike. That's how you get a truly honest and unbiased opinion.
I have the same bike for the last one month, absolutely love it..
Your redlining a brand new engine for 15 kms 231 kms on the ODO when you started and 246 when the engine stalled.. won't be surprised is the engine has seized, you should have also checked the temperature of the motorcycle, which is the last option on the menu 😊
Mind boggling amazing keep it up Faisal for your efforts ❤️🔥
amazing my dream bike Himalayan , nice coverage Bro 👍I am from Chennai ur subscriber since 6 yrs bro
1st time liquid cooling...
1st time DOHC...
RE living in 2013...🤩
This time RE nailed it 🚀🔥
Faisal has a special place for RE in his heart. 😂😂😂😂
You should talk about the braking quality of the machine too. Generally you do on your other videos but missed it in this video.
I test rode this bike. And I absolutely disagree with you. It's not at all tough to maneuver, it feels heavy only when you are moving it around say a parking lot. Once you are on it, feels like a pulsar, and there's some vibrations upto the 2nd gear and from the 3rd it becomes an absolute beast. Pretty good overall.
True. Even it feels like a toy if used a RE before 😂
he abuses new vehicles and calls it a review, check his tone for honda shine trash talk. should ride tractor or bullock cart
Very true. I will take atleast 2 years to tweak the engine based on customer feedback and the competition would catch up by then. So would rather wait
Got my Kaza Brown delivered in Bengaluru today. The comfort level for 5 11" me, heavy built; is just next level. But yes, not an obvious machine for city traffic, that too like, Bengaluru. Waiting to cruise in the highway soon
Is very difficult to flick the bike in bumper to bumper traffic bcoz i from pune I m looking for something with good suspension and decent power currently owner of pulsar 220
When u prebooked???
Hi Faisal is that possible to make a dedicated video for new Royal Enfield Himalayan ownership review.
16:40 that same thing happened with YAMMIE NOOB an american youtuber while the media drive event he has mentioned this on his video. He met this issue multiple times.
But most media won't talk about this for obvious reasons!
I agreee
Congratulations Bro🎉 Vera level🔥
White coloured hazard lamps on Activa is crazy 😉
Technically, the inty is oversquare but the himmy is almost a square. Highly entertaining review.
I don't generally watch yoir videos, but I still would 10/10 watch it because criticism is good for buyers. Its upto us a buyer to decide whether to buy or not but to be aware of problems is a critical information. Dumb are those buyers who would buy products based on all praises without hearing about its dark side.
Well said, no product is perfect!
You're right. Although my experience with KTM has left a very bad taste for me. I must say that modern machines have lot more sensors and electronics which can be a paon at times. One of my bikes had a problem with FI system which caused it to stay in SCs for months at times (in 6 months of ownership, it spent 4 months in SVC), and it was some retarded sensor at the end that was faulty. So at times it can be a bad product, at times it might be just a bad luck as owner. It will be interesting to see what caused this unit You're riding to fail, and hopefully you can post an update for the sake of all those planning to buy it.
such a sick transition
Thanks Faisal for the amazing walk through, I am planning to buy this beast next year, what would be the best time to buy it, as I want a refined product.
Wait for them to iron out the initial issues!
why don't you and gagan go to ladakh or north east with himalayan to make a full review of it in its home.
Bro I saw u. While u were making this vlog.
First of all wait till the cluster to fully do its swipe thing and let fuel pump fully starts then only try to switch it on and you always shift gears with a false netural and rev it like hell ... Even while u start the Duke you did the same you didn't even let the engine to stay for a sec after turning it on and rev its nuts off ... See I always watch your videos and all I like your videos but while coming to motorcycle reviews you always do these kind of things..
Exactly
These things need to be done especially in reviews. Reviewers need to push bikes to absolute limits and also abuse it a bit so that audience can get a complete picture of Bike's Limitations. In real world these things happens a lot.
I tried everything and bikes from Yamaha and Honda never have such issues!
Lol. Digitisation and Fuel injection went for a toss with this comment.
Is it still having wind buffeting prob with that wind sheild?
According to the owners manuel of the Himalayan 450 : running in @ max 4000 rpm till km 500. Then first service and further running in @ max 6000 rpm till km 2000.
Some people don't read the owners manual because they are not the "owner"😏
watch hm abusing honda elevate and call it a review, 99% of honda owners wouldnt do that for their car, there is some sensibility needed as an owner which he definitely lacks!
The reliability issues may subside with more batches of these motorcycles being manufactured. Right now, it is either reliable or unreliable, as Noraly got a very reliable unit, while Yammie got a bad one. So let's wait for a few months until Royal Enfield fixes the issues.
Yes, wait and buy, not just for RE, but all vehicles!
@@FasBeamI agree on this point.
Also, Yammie Noob hates RE so it’s no big shock his failed.
@@FasBeam couldn't agree more
@@Tripplebeem Lmao he used to hate them now he kinda likes them
Dada when is the gen 3 duke video coming?? Eagerly waiting for that video.. love from kolkata..
Soon!
Thanks for the review... Better to wait till the initial issues gets sorted
I think Royal Enfield must consider rectangular side mirrors which has better coverage which is very important.
I know round mirrors are the signature but this is of no use.
And hope this new Himalayan doesn’t have engine issues as 411 bs3 bs4 had
I bought himalayan 450 20 days back & Its best in the segment
its the best test ride for me as well! people need to ride the vehicle and watch this circus!
KTM and RE both be like, aja aj tera adrenaline kam kar deta huu
Speed 400 eingen quality best service cost very high please answer me
What should we buy then , ?
Can we get FKR branded riding jackets which are good quality? Maybe a collab with Rynox? Can be the first merch I will consider.
Hi...can we know why the bike didnt start ?? Because many people are lined to buy himalayan 450
RE bikes Aren't The Most Reliable And Most Refined but Good Job RE on Making This 450CC Bike.
Edit: Alright guys, stop calling this guy an idiot, just because its a Royal Enfield Doesn't mean We cant Say Whats Wrong with it, All indians Literally Criticizing Him for this, But I Totally disagree With that statement, Learn Something Guys 🗿
I have pain on the right shoulders with himalayan 450 when I checked in service center they said that cone set and handle bar is fine can the handle riser help me
Himalayan Rally edition or is model ,(450cc) Himalayan me keya antar hey??????
Just another day of faisal flexing his english speaking skills !
Finally. Waited so long for your review
Fasbeam is the unboxing guy of automotive tech! He only can unbox
Nice to see an honest review as compared to some bootlicking BS reviewers to an extent that some have given a "best bike award" to this without even the public riding it.
10:36 Yes, no low end torque at all - This is a prime reason why I feel this is not a bike for *daily city commute in city traffic.*
13:20 🤣Can't agree more.
16:40 This is a real thing. Hey RE, acknowledge it.
17:02 True.
Lastly, sharp, crisp, on point, short yet detailed, fun and no bakwas - you just owned a subscriber.
You know how these awards win, check the history and you know what a nice marketing activity it is 😂
You must be disappointed your little triumph didnt win it huh 😂.
@@Shreddderrr Pardon me! I'm no Triumph shareholder.
It's funny when some people immediately end up judging another person to be a fan of some other brand or a vehicle just because he likes to remain unbiased towards any vehicle maker. To each his own, you are free to think of me as whatever you want. 😉
The tappet sound when it gets old takes all the fun away
Waiting for this video since 2 months😢😢 and finally....
I think adventure and touring specific bike should not be ment to rev so aggressively, ofcourse you can ignore ktm as they come from racing background and their main engine is focused on RC
The moment I read your title I knew you are gonna have it from the fanboys 😂. And oh boy they never disappoint.
Truth hurts 😅
Hey Faisal! Do review the All new Gen-3 Duke series
intro transition cool 💥
I bought Himalayan 450 1 week back now their is a coolent leakage in the engine I gave to the showroom they are clueless and not sure what is that it’s been 3 days no update from them the response is like worst I don’t k whom to contact can anyone suggest what to do
"The chasis cracked and engine fell off with the old himalayan, I'm not saying that'll happen with this" well this aged badly. 😂 it HAS happened with this himalayan too. Chasis cracked and engine literally falling off.😂 RE reliability coming in.😂
Please get the variants right . Pass or Summit?
Not all reviews need to be good from Faisal and I completely agree with myself on this review once again. This is not the way to review a bike. The purpose of this bike is different and that purpose was not at all explored! Just ripping the bike like a huligan is not what a real bike lover would do. It's equivalent to rape and their's no love towards the machine! Grow up bro, speed is thrilling but not always!
Make a vedio on re gt650
Sir could you please make a video of Honda CB 300F? Please test its headlights performance in dark. I’ll be really thankful to you. 😊❤
If possible then make a vlog on comaprioson between new and older one
It'd have been great if you had shown/recorded the instance leading to the engine failure since, without the footage, we have to rely on your word that it is indeed a reliability issue and not a handling issue.
When I tried it in performance mode also, I realised that it has a half a second lag from the throttle input to the engine responding. Not a deal breaker thought.
That is because of Ride By Wire
waiting for the duke 390 gen 3 review
Quick swifter hai kya??
What if aerodynamic sports version bike with this 450 sherpa engine
Bye Himalayan get well soon part was the best 😂😂😂
Bro how reliable is the new motor, is there any first batch issue
It’s not the reliability of the engine, as you try to start it, the self starter is not at all cranking the engine. So probably it’s not the issue of the engine, it’s because of some relays which won’t be working, not getting its ground at all. Or some sensors may be send wrong signals to the engine ECU. As you reved it so hard, even the thermostat would stop the engine to be started until the engine gets to its normal temperature. At least you should have checked it’s temperature, if radiator fan is not working , or low coolant level, or thermostat complaints may lead to this problem.
If the engine is cranking, still it’s not starting means we can complain the engine fuel line first, then it’s reliability.
Anyway I expect you to update the issue once it’s done.
Tried everything, waited for the bike to cool off and it still didn’t start, RE said it’s a common problem so chill 😅
maybe its a loose side stand kill switch.
@@ronaldsanpedro4338nope. the electric circuit is complete, but some mechanical hurdle is there.
Bmw x5 40i vs 30d which is best fuel economy doesn't matter for me which is best??
30d
Always fun watching you reviewing bikes. Waiting for 390 and 250 review.
Dude, any updates? It's been 3 months. We are really eager to find out what happened. Can you please share your findings?
You're calling the bike unreliable because one bike failed. Yet KTM has a lot of engine issues and you "journalists" ignore it because it didn't happen to you.
That's not true, I have mentioned that too.
I agree on that. Before calling something unreliable, we should give time to that particular thing. In my experience, all bikes(all price ranges) from the first lot are unreliable(unless a Japanese), things start getting better from second batches.
@@FasBeam In the end you literally told RE can't get to KTM levels of reliability, hypocrisy much? So many customers are already having engine issues with the gen 3.
Ktm don't have engine issue 😂 in adv 250 or 390
is this some kind of latest news that RE is not reliable?
Ktm is love. Never disappointed or let me down
Any update on what was the issue?
put the gear in neutral and start. its just that your bike stand is open.
could this be a buy KTM instead of RE video? has any one else managed to make that sherpa engine stop working at all?
@faisal khan….brother when will you review himalayan’s rival Triumph scrambler 400x ??
Engine seized due to the thrashing before engine run in ??!
What if they do bore kit for this himalayan
Like someone did for 411 himalayan making it 822 cc
900 cc himalayan mammoth 😂
Love the honest review. FINALLY!😄
Thank God no boot licking of RE. Someone gave this bike of the year. On whose votes/feedback though ?
This here is an honest review. Thanks Faizal bhai ...
Awards are a scam, I am sure you know how commercial they are!
@@FasBeam couldn't agree more. Please keep bringing us these fantastic videos.
Cons
Heavy weight 196 kg without any accessories and luggage
2. No tubeless tyres
3. Consol have many bugs
4. Mileage around 22 km
5. No tail lamps
6. No crash guard, it comes with accessories and you hve to pay extra
7. Joystick for console have a poor build quality
8. As we know RE bikes are not refined and reliable
9. Not everyone is dakar rally rider 😂 if you take this bike to off-road it will be pain in the ** neck 😅
10. Not at all for city rides specially in Mumbai traffic
11. If you connect your phone to console, you have to continue switch on your phone which drain your phone battery or else you hve to invest 10 to 15k to buy another phone
12. Low end performance is pathetic
13. Heating issue is very much
Pros
1. Brakes are good
2. Engine is powerful good for touring, but again no tubeless tyres
3. Service centre are available in many areas
4. Road presence are good
Think before you buy , don't watch RUclips videos, youtuber videos can only give you the product information, but if you take a test ride it wil be more understanding to buy a motorcycle
The first 500km you are supposed to run the bike in very gently,
Owners manuals usually say something along the lines of - For the first 500 to 1,000 km's, avoid using more than ¾ throttle. and during that period avert high engine speeds.
I am certain the Royal Enfield owners manual gives similar advice and they give that advice for very good reasons, looks like you have found out one of those reasons,
God knows mirrors go where😂😂.good vlog faisal🔥🔥
For Navigation do we need display of Mobile phone on? Some have reported this? Is it true? I am awaiting for TUBLESS Spoke Rims..please advise
Yes
Haha. I can answer that question. My fav topic for getting trolled by fanboys. Yes. The mobile needs to be on and the wifi drains the battery like hell. It's not just RE. Try casting your phone to a smart TV or your Windows 10/11 laptop. Test for 5 mins. You will come to know. On my KTM adv, I use my old Android phone as a gps navigator. I cast my phone through Android auto and Headunit reloaded app. I can switch my primary cell phones screen display off that way and keep the phone in my pocket where it is supposed to be. And it doesn't consume much battery. Unlike RE fanboys childish enough to argue that the bike comes with a charger. What's the point of wireless maps if you need to keep the phone wired to a charger? Bottom line, if you are buying the himi just for its fancy dash think twice.
