Royal Enfield has started its BS-6 launches with the new Classic 350. Royal Enfield has now released a teaser of the BS-6 Himalayan, which is expected to be launched this month. It was last showcased at the 2019 EICMA, in three new colour options and some minor upgrades.
The BS-6 Royal Enfield Himalayan in India will get the same three new colours. Along with its updated 411cc Fuel Injected engine, it will also get switchable ABS and a hazard switch. Some minor changes to the instrument console will also come.
The hazard switch usually comes on motorcycles that are touring and off-roading friendly. The new colour options include Red/Black, Lake Blue/Black and a Matte Grey option. All these changes will come on the Himalayan.

For complying with the BS-6 norms, Royal Enfield would not have much trouble with the Himalayan. It already comes equipped with fuel injection technology, which makes thing easier. It will continue with the same 411cc air-cooled engine with slight changes in the power figures.
The motor produces 25 BHP and 32 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. Comparing it to the other Royal Enfield motorcycles, the Himalayan gets a relatively newer engine matching the modern standards.
The suspension is handled with 41mm telescopic forks at the front and a mono-shock at the back. For braking, the Himalayan gets front and rear disc brakes with dual-channel ABS as standard fitment.
