RE Himalayan 452 to Offer a Strong Top-End?
A recent video shared by the Bunny Punia YouTube channel showcases a test mule of the Royal Enfield Himalayan 452 equipped with two hard panniers and a top box, which will be available as separate accessories. However, the accessories themselves aren’t the main focus of the video. The Royal Enfield Himalayan 452 test mule exhibited remarkable high-speed capabilities during a recent highway test. Bunny Punia captured this test mule’s performance while driving a Nissan Magnite AMT. In the video footage we have here, the Magnite was cruising at an indicated speed of 140 km/h, and the Himalayan 452 test mule effortlessly outpaced the pursuing car.
This achievement underscores the impressive high-speed cruising capabilities of the Royal Enfield Himalayan 452. This should prove to be a noteworthy attribute of the motorcycle. As it prepares to compete with the KTM 390 Adventure and Triumph Scrambler 400X, this capability positions the Himalayan 452 favorably in the market.
