The Royal Enfield Himalayan is the name of two unrelated adventure motorcycles made in India by Royal Enfield, whose headquarters are in Chennai. The original Himalayan was conceived by chief executive Siddhartha Lal as an adventure touring or dual sport bike, designed under Pierre Terblanche, shown in prototype in 2014, revealed in February 2015 and launched in early 2016. It uses the LS410, a unit-construction 411 cc single-cylinder oil-cooled SOHC engine that makes 24.5 bhp, with fuel injection and ABS standard from 2017. In late 2023 the company launched the Himalayan 450, which has a new 452 cc liquid-cooled single that makes about 40 hp and shares no common components with the first bike. Both are sold under the one name and aimed at the same market, and only the 450 is still manufactured. The frame is a half-duplex split cradle with 220 mm of ground clearance and an 800 mm seat on the original.
