Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 vs Rivals

Royal Enfield has revealed details about the Himalayan 452. Which includes detailed information about this new flagship adventure of the company. Today we're going to be comparing it to its main rivals, which are the Triumph Scrambler 400

Royal Enfield Himalayan 452 vs other rival Performance

In terms of powertrain performance, the KTM 390 takes the lead. Not only is it the most powerful motorcycle here, but it is also almost the lightest, which means it has the best power-to-weight ratio in the segment. The KTM's motor is supposed to be a little flat on the bottom, and when you look at it in rpm, it gives the most output - both the KTM and the bmw perform at their best in the rev band, meaning they're at lower revs. Not suitable for off-road. However the Triumph Scrambler 400X and Himalayan 452 are better in this regard, and both are quite similar. Both offer a healthy 40hp at 8000rpm, but the Himalayan has slightly more torque. Its heavy curb weight means that its power-to-weight ratio is on the lower end, but when it comes to off-roading it may prove to be the most suitable engine.

Royal Enfield Himalayan 452 vs other rivals: Dimensions and weight

The Himalayan is 11 kg heavier than its nearest rival Triumph Scrambler 400 It establishes itself as the most off-road centric bike here by offering the highest ground clearance of the lot and the only standard seat that offers height adjustment. The KTM has the highest seat height at 855 mm, and the bmw and Triumph get the same 835 mm seat height. If your height is not very high then bmw is the best bike in this regard, which has a curb weight of 175 kg, although it has the smallest capacity fuel tank.

Once again, the Himalayan is the most off-road-centric machine in this regard. It is the only bike here that has a 21-inch front wheel, and it gets the largest rear brake disc. The special thing here is that the 390 Adventure is the only bike that offers adjustable suspension both front and rear. It has recently become more off-road centric with wire-spoke wheels (which the Himalayan also gets), whereas the Triumph and bmw get alloy wheels. 

It is also worth noting that the Himalayan does not yet come with tubeless wire-spoke wheels in the indian market, but the company will sell it with tubeless wire-spoke overseas. Once this happens, it will be the only bike at this price point to come with tubeless wire-spoke wheels.
