2021 Royal Enfield Himalayan Launched - New Improvements & Colours!

The trickle of 2021 model announcements has officially morphed into a steady stream as more manufacturers have started locking down their lineups for the new model year. Part of the growing tide is Royal Enfield’s confirmation that its Himalayan model will be returning for 2021. It looks like the popular 411cc midsize adventurer will come into the new model year mostly unchanged, though it does get switchable ABS this time around, as well as that ever popular manufacturer “upgrade”—new colour options.

On its face, those changes sound pretty underwhelming, but then, since its introduction in 2016, the Himalayan has piled up enough accolades and impressive sales figures to the point that Enfield probably saw it as an “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” situation. Which means the 2021 Himalayan retains all the original architecture and underpinnings, and simply adds a few subtle features to improve the riding experience.

That includes a switchable antilock braking system (ABS) to give riders more control during sketchy off-road conditions, as well as a revamped rear brake mechanism that improves brake engagement and rider feel for decreased stopping distances. Royal Enfield says customers also requested a more refined sidestand design, so the new Himalayan gets a tweak to that unit as well. Additionally, the company improved the hazard light switch design as well for better accessibility during road- or trailside emergencies.

Now for the new colours, because for some folks that’s important too. The 2021 Royal Enfield Himalayan will be available in three new colourways: Lake Blue, Rock Red, and Gravel Gray, which join the existing Snow White, Granite Black, and Sleet hues. As before, the bike comes with a three-year warranty and will be available for ordering immediately.

The Himalayan continues to be one of the best-selling units within the Royal Enfield range of motorcycles. “The affordability, versatility, and capability of the Himalayan has established it as a must-have adventure bike, and with these updates, it’s better than ever before.” says Krishnan Ramaswamy, interim business head and president of Royal Enfield Americas.

There’s also a wide variety of Genuine Motorcycle Accessories on tap so you can customize the Himalayan accordingly. Royal Enfield says quantities are limited, though we’re unsure if that’s temporary or not. One of the most appealing thing to Royal Enfield owners is the customisation of these motorcycles and we have no doubt that we'll be seeing some of these custom Himalayans on our roads soon!
