Bigger Himalayan

We’ve been talking about the next generation of Royal Enfield’s Himalayan for years. Despite a whole host of spy shots doing the rounds and rumours emerging at every turn, the factory’s been blowing hot and cold about whether or not we’ll actually see one anytime soon.

But now we think we’ve finally got some concrete proof that the bike will be coming, as Royal Enfield boss Siddhartha Lal has teased the bike on his own social media channel. And Lal’s got form. He posted a similar snap of the new 350 Hunter ahead of its official release in Bangkok last month.

Lal posted a five-second head-on video of a bike crossing a river. Although the footage didn’t give much away, the LED headlight and short screen matched up to a bike that was recently caught out testing in the UK. Official details are hazy, but we’re expecting the new Himalayan to be powered by an all-new liquid-cooled 450cc single-cylinder engine and come kitted out with 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels, plus some long travel USD forks and a monoshock.
