Royal Enfield launches Himalayan- the most definitive motorcycle for your Himalayan adventure

 

Himalayan now available in India for booking starting March 17, 2016

Available in Maharashtra at Rs. 155,545 (Ex-showroom) and Rs. 178,872 (on-road) in Mumbai

Royal Enfield, the fastest growing motorcycle brand in the world, today launched the Himalayan—a motorcycle purpose-built for adventure and touring in the Himalayas. Bringing together 60 years of Himalayan riding experiences in a completely ground-up design, and powered by a new LS 410 engine, the Royal Enfield Himalayan paves the way for a purer, non-extreme and more accessible form of adventure touring in India. In fact, its extremely capable offroad capabilities make it adept for riding though potholed urban jungles as it does for treacherous mountain trails.

 

One of the most anticipated motorcycles of 2016, Royal Enfield Himalayan is available in two signature colour options—Granite and Snow and is open for bookings across all Royal Enfield dealerships across the country in a phased manner.

 

At the launch of the Himalayan, Mr Siddhartha Lal, MD & CEO, Eicher Motors Ltd. said, "Himalayan is the culmination of Royal Enfield's 60 years of enduring history in its spiritual home—the Himalayas. Our single biggest insight in all these years of riding has been that the best motorcycle for the Himalayas is not one that tries to dominate its landscape, but one that is able to go with its flow. Large adventure tourers that currently define this category, do not fare well in the Himalayas as they are very heavy, extremely complicated, intimidating and not really designed for this environment. With its purpose-built ground-up design, the Himalayan is a simple and capable go-anywhere motorcycle that will redefine adventure touring in India."

 

Built on a rugged duplex split cradle frame designed and developed by Harris Performance, the Himalayan is stable and agile in equal parts. A strong mono shock rear suspension with linkage allows for longer travel and delivers a smoother ride experience regardless of terrain. The Himalayan's 220 mm ground clearance ensures it gobbles up obstacles comfortably be it in the Himalayas, rocky river beds or at stream crossings. An optimal wheel size combination allows for better control while riding over rocks and ruts.

 

The Himalayan is powered by a completely new and evolved overhead camshaft engine platform that forms the base for its new long stroke LS 410 engine. The all new engine delivers high torque and usable power at lower RPMs. This makes for smooth riding in higher gears at lower speeds, making it easy to climb hills, or to maneuver through traffic. Modern design and materials of the engine translate to increased efficiency and low maintenance, and the engine can go 10,000 kilometers between oil changes.

 

Speaking at the launch of the Himalayan, Mr Rudratej (Rudy) Singh, President Royal Enfield said, "What excites me about our new motorcycle, is that it fundamentally builds on Royal Enfield's core philosophy of balancing aspiration with access. It allows both seasoned riders as well as enthusiasts to do more with just one motorcycle. The Himalayan serves the purpose of a seasoned rider and at the same time opens the roads (pun not intended) to many more people who will get the confidence that they can ride on and off the road less travelled, going beyond their day-to-day commuting needs."

 

"Functionally - the Himalayan's non-intimidating spartan design, a flat torque curve, accessible seat height and long suspension travel alongside the ease of ownership, make the Himalayan is an extremely versatile motorcycle that is adept for long rides while equally being the definitive choice to navigate our urban jungles. Towards creating and growing a new segment which offers an option for adventure loving motorcycling enthusiasts we are offering the new Himalayan at a price of Rs. 155,545 (Ex-showroom) in Maharashtra and Rs. 178,872 (on-road) in Mumbai" , Rudy added.

 

Touring utility is built inherently into the Himalayan. A 15 litre fuel tank provides a long range of approximately 450 kilometers. Luggage mounting points, for hard panniers, soft luggage and jerry cans are integral to the motorcycle's design. A simple instrument cluster keeps track of speed, direction, ambient temperature, travel time, service intervals and multiple trip distances. Most importantly, an ergonomical sync between footpegs, handlebar & seat height provide a comfortable upright riding posture that is necessary for long rides. An accessible 800mm seat height with lower mass-balance ensure ease of planting feet on ground for complete control. Royal Enfield Himalayan comes fitted with dual-purpose tyres that lend a confident grip and performance across a range of conditions. In addition to complete braking control, the 300mm front and 240mm rear disc brakes help to reduce braking effort.

 

Royal Enfield has also launched meticulously designed, purpose-built protective riding gear that caters to the long range tourer travelling to unpredictable places, terrains and climates. The protective gear range includes the 4-season Royal Enfield Darcha riding suit made in collaboration with REV'IT; versatile touring jackets and trousers with Cordura, protective armour, removable thermal liners and breathable waterproof lining. The collection also has riding gloves, riding trousers and riding boots.

 

Royal Enfield has invested significant time and effort in testing the Himalayan extensively with experts and across multiple terrains for both off-road and on-road manners. Starting from the Bruntingthorpe airfield in UK to the race track in Sriperumbudur, Chennai; from off-road terrains to urban settings and then in real world riding conditions in the Himalayas; the motorcycle has clocked lakhs of kilometers and cumulative mileage before hitting the production line.

 

The Himalayan is more than the sum of its parts; not only does it deliver on its intent of being a purpose-built motorcycle for the Himalayas, it is also extremely versatile and designed to be your only motorcycle.

 

Pricing & Availability

 

Royal Enfield Himalayan will be available in Bangalore for Rs. 184,316 (on-road), in Kolkata for Rs. 181,517 (on-road), in Chennai for Rs. 175,840 (on-road), in Hyderabad for Rs. 176,580 (on-road), in Pune for Rs. 170,362 (on-road) and in Navi Mumbai for Rs. 171,065 (on-road).

"Baaghi" leads Tiger Shroff and Shraddha Kapoor, who have been friends since school, couldn't believe that they were actually doing a film together and found it a "surreal" experience.

"When you go to school with someone, and then you grow up, and both of us have the dream to act, and you end up acting with someone you've gone to school with, so it's really surreal.

"From the first day till the last in between shots, I would be saying, 'Tiger, can you believe it, we are doing a film together' and he would say, 'I can't believe it, Shraddha', so we were very excited to be working together," said Shraddha at the trailer launch of the film, directed by Sabbir Khan.

The story is about Tiger's character Ronny, who is sent to an academy to learn a particular form of martial art, but doesn't show too much dedication and is more interested in wooing Shradda's character Sia. But when she gets abducted, he gets fully dedicated to the training to rescue his love. 

Both of them indulge in some stylish action sequences with Shraddha breaking bottles and banging heads, while Tiger is performing high-flying kicks and even doing the martial arts form of Kalaripayattu. But the two also have a love angle brewing, even sharing few kisses.

About the romance, Tiger said: "It was very easy because from day one I was very comfortable around Shraddha; we have been friends since childhood, we've been in the same school. I've been a fan of her since her very first film.

"I remember the workshops when Sabbir sir used to take our readings, we used to have a fun time reading. The romance in our film is quite a strong element; she never once felt uncomfortable or made me feel uncomfortable, we used to always have fun or laughing; we would be in the zone when Sabbir said would say 'action', and then when he said 'cut', we would just be having fun or dancing."

Shraddha said: "I've been his fan since he was in school, when he used to play basketball with so much passion. I remember that he used to always be in his basketball jersey, fully energetic and always focused, and he is also focused in what he is doing now, so had a great time."

"Baaghi", produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, releases on April 29.

·         Panellists unanimously agreed that women need to market themselves better, stand up for each other a lot more, and that we also need to create a more robust social infrastructure in this country for women

·         Suhel Seth, "There are three issues that we need to discuss.

I would like to laud all the panellists present here who took time out from their schedule to participate in this initiative.
