The upcoming Royal Enfield Himalayan is set to make its global debut at EICMA 2023 on November 7th. However, the official pricing for the Indian market is expected to be unveiled during Royal Enfield's annual Motoverse motorcycle festival, formerly known as Rider Mania, taking place in Goa from November 24th to 26th.

With the introduction of the new generation Himalayan, it will replace the existing Himalayan 411, which has been in the market since 2016 and it got several updates and improvements throughout its lifespan. The most recent update to the bike was given in the form of the BS6 compliance.
