Why Spoke Wheels Matter

Tubeless spoke wheels improve off-road riding and make maintenance easier. They are designed to reduce punctures, so patching is simpler and doesn’t require removing the tire. These wheels perform well at low pressures, offering better grip on rough trails.

They come in three color options: black, black olive, and gold. Originally made for export markets, these adventure-oriented wheels were brought to India to meet the needs of Royal Enfield’s growing core audience for off-road riding.

Engine & Adventure Specs Still Impress

Despite some criticism of accessories, the Himalayan 450 still proves its worth with a tough and sturdy build.

The bike features a 6-speed gearbox for smooth shifting.

It comes equipped with switchable ABS, multiple ride modes, an LED headlamp, and a USB port. These features help the Himalayan stay a top choice for riders who want a reliable bike that can handle all kinds of journeys, even as the price of accessories rises.
