The Royal Enfield Himalayan is now available with dual-channel ABS. According to a media report, the standard Himalayan ABS is priced at Rs. 1,78,833, while the Himalayan Sleet ABS costs Rs. 1,80,669 (ex-showroom, Mumbai).

Mechanically, the ABS equipped Himalayan is identical to the standard bike.

The bike is powered by a 411cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that produces 24.5 BHP @ 6,500 rpm and 32 Nm of torque @ 4,250 rpm and comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox.

The bike's braking setup consists of a 300 mm disc with a 2-piston caliper at the front and a 240 mm disc with a single-piston caliper at the rear, while dual-channel ABS will now be added as a safety feature.

The Himalayan ABS has been listed on Royal Enfield's website. However, the bike maker is yet to formally announce the pricing.
