Royal Enfield has already started exporting its all new Himalayan to some of the developed nations such as UK and US. The company has introduced the most advanced Himalayan till date in the UK. The RE Himalayan in the UK has been introduced with Fuel Injection (FI) and Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) as well, which as been priced starting at GBP 9,999 (Rs 8.2 lakh).
The company has now decided to unveil Himalayan FI in India too. The cruiser will be introduced by May 2017 in the country and may also include ABS as an option. The price of the model is expected to be increased by Rs 30,000 for FI+ABS variant, whereas only FI variant is believed to get a price hike of Rs 10,000. Moreover, the company has increased the price by Rs 6,000 after upgrading the engine to BSIV standard.
Developed nations have strict emission norms than India, it is essential for the company to use Fuel Injection instead of the carburettor, which can be seen in India-spec Himalayan. The Himalayan will also be seen equipped with ABS and FI in North America. The Indian government is also on the verge of implementing similar laws in India, maybe that is the reason for the company to launch updated Himalayan with FI and ABS.
The mighty Royal Enfield Himalayan is blessed with a relaxed seating position, which has been claimed to be a boon on long rides, especially while riding on rough roads. Its off-road tyres provide a very rugged appeal along with long suspension travel. The cruiser is powered by a new 410 cc single cylinder engine, which is capable of churning out 25 PS of maximum power along with 32 Nm of peak torque with the help of a 5-speed transmission system.
After its launching, Himalaya has been in news for some wrong reasons related to reliabilities and quality issues. However, along with the new Himalayan FI launch, the company aims to pluck out the issues faced by current owners.
