The Royal Enfield Himalayan is not only a lightweight ADV bike for those looking for a cheap, fun ride, but rather—reiterating what we thought in 2018—it can also be a great second or third bike for a more experienced rider who wants a basic machine to tool around on. It features adventure-ready equipment like 21-inch front, 17-inch rear tires, 41mm telescopic fork with 7.9 inches of travel, monoshock with 7.1 inches of travel, spoked rims, and crash protection.

2020 Royal Enfield Himalayan Reviews, Comparisons, And Competition

Our New York-based test rider rode the 2018 Himalayan in the state of Texas, which was enough to discover that “The Himalayan is an unpretentious, easy-to-ride motorcycle that suggests that maybe New Delhi and New York aren’t worlds apart.” Competition includes dual sports such as the Honda CRF250L/Rally, Suzuki DR650S, Yamaha TW200, Kawasaki KLX230, or even the small-displacement ADV, the KTM 390 Adventure.
