The Flat Track 450 has a simple design with an exposed frame and minimal body panels made from carbon fibre. The bike has a flat handlebar with a telescopic fork at the front and a mono-shock at the rear.

The Flat Track 450 is powered by the same engine as the Himalayan 450. On the road bike, this 452cc liquid-cooled unit produces 39.5 BHP and 40 Nm and is paired with a 6-speed gearbox.

The Flat Track 450 is equipped with a race exhaust. The bike rides on alloy wheels shod with Maxxis tyres and has a massive rear disc brake.

The Royal Enfield Flat Track 450 is expected to replace the FT411, which was based on the old 411cc Himalayan.
