The 2020 Royal Enfield Himalayan has a ground clearance of 220 mm which will be particularly useful while taking on the road not taken. Apart from the new colour on the fuel tank, the motorcycle also gets the same colour on the fuel tank guard and rear luggage carrier. The higher positioned front, beak styled fender gets a small chrome crown.
The 2020 Royal Enfield Himalayan has been priced in Thailand at an unchanged THB 1,69,800 (INR 4.03 lakh). Royal Enfield will be launching the updated 2020 Himalayan in India early next year with BS-VI compliance. There are a few media reports doing rounds which claim that the Himalayan will soon gain a switchable ABS. However, an official confirmation on the same is awaited.
