2.75L is definitely a worthy price tag for this Himalayan. As both Adv390X and Himalayan are now almost same in terms of performance and price, its interesting to see what one chooses !!
@@xghost4469besides, experience has taught me that I shouldn't get first Gen of any bike. Wait atleast a couple of months till they sort out the issues
A wonderful video, what an amazing blend of shots, cinematography and my god, the music and beat synced transitions! For the bike, i think i’ll wait for the tubeless spokes to come in, and hot swap once they’re here. Looks quite promising so far, waiting on a test drive now!!
@@powerdriftofficial RE raising the bar🔥. Himalayan is going to be the benchmark for single cylinder adventure bikes all over the world. And the screen mirroring 👏👌. I think the militaries all over the world should add Himalayan to their fleet.
I will surely pick one up only once the tubeless spoke wheels are made available. Now I am thinking what can RE do in the next version. This has everything one would need. Maybe add adjustable suspension (maybe will be offered as an accessory in this model itslef), Traction Control, QuickShifter and even these are really not that important. Anyone reading this, feel free to chime in with your thoughts on what RE could add in the next version. Functional stuff and not cosmetic like new paint scheme etc.
Well, RE doesn't have the history of adding a lot of features once the bikes are launched. So I am a bit sceptical. They took 5 years for adding alloys on 650s and other bikes in the portfolio haven't seen anything substantial either. So this is what you will get for the next 5 years. RE will quickly move on to the next launch now.
This video credit goes to editor but well done, its always team work, as far as RE they are unbelievable and we as a consumer heaving more better options.
More than the bike i loved the background score of the video..Simply Lit ❤❤..Whoever it is ..he deserves a healthy raise on his paycheck..not many out there who can do this and that too this well..🎉👌
HIMALAYAN deserves this kind of Vireo!!❤ 🎉❤ Definitely on my list along with 390ADV.....! Waiting for sea level performance n review.....😊 Great video PD....keep going!!❤
Great video as always. I agree with Varun, that this bike needs cruise control for those super long rides, specially with 17 litres of fuel tank and more than 500 km of range.
PD will reach at heights of the international journalism podium! Just amazing videography, editing, script, delivery ... just top notch... and also the location matters the most!
This video is far better and professionally made than the official RE :). From script to the perfect background number and even editing you guys nailed it.
Since RE motorcycles have been torque monsters for quite some time now, I don't think city commute is going to be much of a hassle. The new Himalayan might just deliver a stupendous amount of low end torque but then again that's wishful thinking. So, fingers crossed. Let's wait and watch!!
What a great review..even though the bike might have some shortcomings based upon the observations. The way it is presented in the video makes it more desirable. Keep up the great work team PD👍🏼
Stunning video from Team PD as always.. Presenter Painter hope to see you later soon... The Best Aniruddh award goes to the team who recorded BGM for this video and many more.. One suggestion would be to mention the team members who contributed to the video so that we can appreciate their dedication.....loads of love and gratitude.. shubh deepawali team PD... Keep up the good work..
As a Himalyan BS6 owner for 3years my honest thoughts would be that the fuel tank tooka a bit less masculine and the instrument cluster with a single round meter looks a bit less classy.Probably a TFT screen like the 290adv would have been a good option.
I think it's superb and I was going to try it out. The only small regret (just to make a comment) is that for a 450cm3 I'd have liked it to do 200kg max fully loaded.
So far the motorcycle seems impressive. I would like to know how much wattage the alternator provides? Specifically how much extra watts are available for heated grips and heated liner. Also, a Garmin GPS. Thank you.
Varun bhai. You are life of powerdrift . It's the effort of powerdrift team that can make any bike review look larger than life 😁 . But RE definitely messed up the tail section by omitting the taillight altogether . Old Himalayan looked proportionate from every angle
so @Varun finally my prayers are answered aka the spoke tubeless wheels now plz do talk more on that and let them(RE) to bring it in 650 twins plz do talk more on it so that it becomes a reality in Indian market as everyone knows only alloy wheels 🙏
Wow.. what a video!! Well done team ! One thing I got from it.. Manali visit toh banti hai. The bike will be right at home in Pune with off roading roads as a built in feature of this city.
is it comfortable for long rides and how does it perform on sharp curves when we take turn. some bikes skid. how is the grip ? Though i did not take test ride but i tried sitting on it and i did not feel seating position comfortable. whereas the sitting position on scram 411 was much more comfortable than this. have some suggestion please reply
Great video guys. PD rocks as always. Suggesting "again " Music volume is too loud. Atleast when varun is talking, reduce the music volume a bit guys. Cheers 🥂
Absolutely Amazing Product RE Just Amazing The Design Is A Proper Adventure Motorcycle Power Figures Are Also Check Gadgets You Got It Now Just Provide Tubeless Spoke Wheels And Ot Will Be BOMB 💣 Very Well Done Proud Of My Desi Loha.
If it's well priced and I end up buying it, I'll probably slap in the old Duke stop lights, like the ones from gen 1. And rewire the existing stop+indicator lights to be just indicators. This is probably, bcz I feel, in foggy condition, having a larger brake light, placed a bit higher, will help with keeping you visible for vehicles behind you. This is still a thought though, which popped in my mind seeing the empty slot shape between the rear fender and the indicator mount flap

Tubeless rims are going to be expensive since they will be imported. I am surprised we don't have any OEM in India to localise the sourcing of this vital component. RE had lot of time in during development of this bike to sort this out but looks like they couldn't.
People start comparing but I am proud of Royal Enfield for giving India it's own adventure tourer bike and I am sure it's just beginning soon it's going to make name around the world 🌎
Varun, one doubt, how smooth is the engine ? On a scale of 1 to 10 as compared with CB350RS for reference. Coming from a Honda fan, this will be my 1st RE. Didn't like the vibrations of earlier RE engines. Thank you.
VP says the new gen Royal Enfield's are quite refined. We saw a dramatic shift after the 650s rolled out. Even the J series platform is exceptionally refined. There is a buzz around the bar ends and the tank at higher revs but nothing too problematic.
Hi @powerdrift team. Really helped me analyse my choice but honestly I’m still confused over Himalayan vs KTM 390 Adv SW or Standard. Would love people’s input and thoughts on my decision making. To give you a background, I’m 40, I’ve learnt riding on my dad’s Bullet 1980 model, still running strong. Never owned an adv or gone off road. But would love to try. Please help
Was always longing for a better designed front fascia... Like the European or Sweden bikes with fairing and creases.... Although functionally round doom does work, but a better design could have been great....
Aww dude that's a bummer with the Google Maps thing. So if I understand correctly, we open GMaps and connect with the motorcycle and keep the phone in our pocket but cannot turn off the screen? Am I correct in understanding this? Could be fixed via firmware update easily. Surprising no one else has mentioned this. Also someone mentioned the gold rims are from Excel Takasago. Is that correct?
That's absolutely right. The screen once locked makes the screen resort to turn by turn. RE's counter to that is a charging port below the handlebar. Its not the best solution but its what we get for now. Needs fixing for sure.

From the beginning of their journey, their editors and sound engineers are best in the industry.
As a Himalyan BS6 owner for 3years my honest thoughts would be that the fuel tank tooka a bit less masculine and the instrument cluster with a single round meter looks a bit less classy.Probably a TFT screen like the 290adv would have been a good option.
We are sure someone from the RE brand team is seeing this.
How is the weight on the front ? Does it feel front heavy like Dominar or is it just heavy overall ?
Heavy down low. You will feel the weight when you take it off the side stand.
The OG pd video is here ❤❤❤ top visuals 🔥🔥🔥🎉

I think Sherpa engine carries its name from Mighty Nepalese Himalayan Sherpa😍
Ofcourse! The might of the Sherpa.
Good work PD Team 👏🏻. Waiting for its test drive 😍🤩

Disappointed with colour options , now all depends on price. I think mileage is also quite low.
Which color scheme would you have preferred?
Varun bhai. You are life of powerdrift . It's the effort of powerdrift team that can make any bike review look larger than life 😁 . But RE definitely messed up the tail section by omitting the taillight altogether . Old Himalayan looked proportionate from every angle
The team appreciates this comment.
FYI, like VP mentioned, there's a functional bit to that form. Plus, more wheel articulation.
What a shots, next level review ❤️🔥 9:41, Great Review loved it !!
Thank you Atharv!
No need of another ad for Himalayan450.PD🔥done that job for RE..
Ad? We did mention where the motorcycle can be better. Good production and visuals does not mean an ad :)
so @Varun finally my prayers are answered aka the spoke tubeless wheels now plz do talk more on that and let them(RE) to bring it in 650 twins plz do talk more on it so that it becomes a reality in Indian market as everyone knows only alloy wheels 🙏
Yes. Royal Enfield is already working on it.
Wow.. what a video!! Well done team !
One thing I got from it.. Manali visit toh banti hai.
The bike will be right at home in Pune with off roading roads as a built in feature of this city.
Manali is so beautiful, just looking like a waow!
At What speed it starts heavy vibrations? how's the feel of vibrations..........can it be ignored?, .......... speed and rpm of vibrations?
I hope RE launch a Meteor 450 version or a Scram 450 with alloy wheels and tubeless tyres.
Scram 450 looks more likely. But tubeless is something that we cannot expect as of now. The Hunter 450 if launched should have tubeless.
Thank for the review Varun. Did it feel like the time you reviewed the Interceptor which was completely an RE we are not used to.
I think we are now used to seeing better products from the brand. Doesn't feel like a surprise anymore.
Welcome varun painter hopefully we'll see you later more again
Oh yes. He will see you later.
Thanks for review. How long from 0 - 100 km/h ?
10.9-11 second
No official timing from the brand. But its not a 0-100 motorcycle anyway.
is it comfortable for long rides and how does it perform on sharp curves when we take turn. some bikes skid. how is the grip ?
Though i did not take test ride but i tried sitting on it and i did not feel seating position comfortable. whereas the sitting position on scram 411 was much more comfortable than this. have some suggestion please reply
Loved watching the hollywood movie.
I have a q:
The 805mm seat is an optional accessory or can be chosen instead of the 825mm seat?
Oh yeah! Its an accessory. Cannot be chosen.

Thank you for letting us know. We will make things better going forward.
Tubeless rims are going to be expensive since they will be imported. I am surprised we don't have any OEM in India to localise the sourcing of this vital component. RE had lot of time in during development of this bike to sort this out but looks like they couldn't.
For now, the search continues. Hopefully, the certification is sorted soon and we have tubeless spoked rims as a variant in the near future.
Thanks for a great video.

Hi Varun, so has your search for your next Adv bike come to an end with this Himalayan or would you go with Adv 390 or the scrambler 400x
