Black Beauty Unleashed: Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 'Mana Black' Edition Set to Rival Scrambler 400X

Royal Enfield has once again grabbed attention with the introduction of a new rally-inspired variant of its popular adventure motorcycle — the Himalayan 450 Mana Black Edition. Designed for riders who crave performance and rugged aesthetics, this special edition stands out with upgraded accessories, a sporty matte-black finish, and a rally-ready design.

Expected price and launch timeline
While Royal Enfield hasn’t officially announced the price, the Himalayan 450 Mana Black is expected to be priced around ₹3.5 lakh (ex-showroom). The official unveiling is likely to take place at Motoverse 2025, set to be held in Goa from November 21 to 23, 2025. The bike is expected to go on sale shortly after the event.

Design and features
The Himalayan 450 Mana Black gets a rally-inspired makeover with a flatter, extended seat, full-length black knuckle guards reinforced with aluminum braces, and a redesigned rear license plate holder. The bike weighs 195 kg, which is 1 kg lighter than the standard Himalayan 450. It retains the 825 mm seat height, ensuring comfort for both tall and medium-height riders.

The special edition aims to offer a more aggressive and performance-oriented stance — one that could directly challenge the Bajaj Triumph Scrambler 400X, currently leading the mid-range adventure segment.

Royal Enfield expands its lineup with Bullet 650
In addition to the new Himalayan variant, Royal Enfield also unveiled the Bullet 650 at EICMA 2025. This motorcycle features a 648cc parallel-twin engine producing 47 bhp and 52.3 Nm of torque. Stylistically, it resembles the classic Bullet 350 with signature touches like a chrome-finished headlamp hood, round LED headlight, and teardrop-shaped fuel tank.

The Bullet 650 rides on Showa telescopic front forks (120 mm travel) and twin rear shock absorbers (112 mm travel). It will be available in two color options — black and blue.
