Himalayan Adventure Tourer: Big jump in sales

 The Royal Enfield Himalayan is a model that has helped Indians understand what adventure Tourer motorcycles are.  It is also one of the most affordable ADV bikes in the country.  Today they are the most popular domestically and models in the same segment.

The greatest feature of Adventure Tourer motorcycles is that they can go anywhere and do anything. Despite its shortcomings and problems in the early days, the Himalayas have been able to rise to the top through reforms.

The Himalayan was the only Royal Enfield bike to achieve positive growth in August 2021. The heart of the adventure motorcycle is the 411cc air-cooled single cylinder engine. It is capable of producing a maximum power of 24.3 bhp at 6500 rpm and 32 Nm of torque at 4000-4500 rpm.

Although it has been in the market for many years, the Himalayan has been able to stay ahead of the range with the changes over time.  But reports from People say that's just what's happening.

This means that the booking period for the Himalayan is currently four months. The company is also planning to bring a small variant to the Himalayan range to find more customers.

The model, named Scram 411, is made in a scrambler style. The new variant will be built on the same platform as the Himalayas. The new Scram 411 comes with more on-road upgrades compared to the Himalayas.

A small front wheel, front Jerry-can holder frame, fork gates, a tall windscreen and a raised front mudguard all differentiate the Scram 411 version from the Himalayas. It is also worth noting that the Scram 411 model does not have the windscreen and fork gators found in the Himalayas.

Except for the weight-loss upgrades, both models are expected to share the same engine, gearbox and some other parts. The suspension will be almost the same. The Scram 411 is expected to hit the market later this year or early next year.
