The steady stream of updates and new reveals about the hotly anticipated new Royal Enfield Himalayan 452 continues. This time around, popular YouTuber Noraly Schoenmaker – better known by her channel’s name Itchy Boots and who rode the Himalayan 411 around the world – gives us more information about the new bike.
- Fully digital dash can show navigation info
- New colours seen for the first time
- All-new liquid-cooled engine makes 40hp
In the video, we can clearly see that the fully digital dash of the new Himalayan 452 is capable of displaying navigation information on the upper portion of the unit. The ability to connect to your phone means that you could be able to receive notification alerts as well as control music playback. It remains to be seen whether this feature will be offered as standard or will be reserved for the higher-spec variants.
Another social media post also gives us a sneak peek at the other colour options that will be available on this new Himalayan 452. The black/yellow colour option looks quite similar to the 50 years special edition colour scheme seen on the venerable BMW R 1250 GS. There is also a more subtle option with a base grey coat with red highlights. And, of course, the ‘Kamet White’ colour is also seen on one of these bikes.
The interesting thing here is that only the bike finished in the new ‘Kamet White’ colour features the cross-spoke tubeless rims while the other two bikes seem to feature conventional tubed wire-spoke rims. This almost certainly points to the fact that the spoke tubeless side-laced rims will be an optional extra as we've reported earlier.
The new Royal Enfield Himalayan 452 will be launched in India on November 7, and we will be riding it in early November, so watch out for our reviews.
