2026 Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Black Mana: ALL ROADS. NO ROADS.

Introducing the 2026 Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Black Mana…

A striking new version of the celebrated adventure motorcycle, the Himalayan Mana Black is inspired by the Mana Pass region, known to be one of the world’s most formidable high-altitude routes.

The Himalayan Mana Black Edition channels the bold energy of the Mana Pass, through its distinctive design and ergonomics developed to optimise off-road riding. Draped in a deep Stealth Black finish with matte detailing, this edition embodies minimalism, purpose, and raw adventure, designed for those who see every trail as a calling, not a challenge.

A defining highlight of the Mana Black Edition is its factory-accessorised configuration. Riders can own a Himalayan that arrives fully fitted with exclusively curated adventure accessories. Equipped with Black Rally hand guards, a Black Rally seat for enhanced grip and long-distance comfort, a Rally mud guard designed for rugged trails, and tubeless spoked wheels that offer durability with modern convenience, the Mana Black Edition ensures every element is ready for exploration.

 

THE NEW MOUNTAIN STANDARD
A motorcycle with strong adventure lineage yet remains true to our philosophy of pure motorcycling. The all-new Himalayan retains the capability, versatility and the ability to go anywhere your adventure takes you. Nothing you dont need and everything that you do for the changing times.

The best chassis is the one you don’t notice. From the versatile 21” front 17” rear wheel combination to the large enduro footpegs and wide handlebars, the Himalayan works with you in all situations on or off-road. The slim seat and tank let you get your feet firmly on the ground when you stop, while increased ground clearance and longer travel suspension let you choose the roughest tracks.

ROYAL ENFIELD’S HISTORY WITH THE HIMALAYAS IS AS DEEP AS THE MOUNTAINS ARE TALL. A MYSTICAL PLACE THAT IS ALWAYS
CHANGING, AND CHANGING FAST.

WHAT IS TRUE FOR THE MOUNTAINS IS TRUE FOR LIFE. PATHS CHANGE. GOALS CHANGE. ROLES CHANGE. WE CHANGE.

EVOLVING FROM FIRST-TIME RIDERS TO SEASONED HIGH-ALTITUDE EXPLORERS. DISCOVERING WORLDS WE’VE NEVER SEEN.

DISCOVERING OURSELVES. THERE IS NO PREDICTABLE PATH ON THIS JOURNEY. THERE WAS NO ONE MACHINE DESIGNED
FOR THIS JOURNEY. UNTIL NOW.

The Himalayan 450 is an extension of that, taking everything that was great about the original and building on it. Nothing has been added without necessity. There are no features included simply to satisfy the keyboard warriors The Himalayan 450 is about purpose, simplicity, efficiency; just like the original, but more.

ONLY EVERYTHING

We know what it means to grab a bike and go for a blast with some friends, just as we know how it feels to be cold, tired and with another three hours
of riding laying ahead. The Himalayan is designed to adapt to all conditions; from its river-busting high air intake to its tough frame and luggage bars ready to take a beating when things don’t go as planned.

THE HIMALAYAN IS A CREATURE OF ITS ENVIRONMENT. IT IS BUILT BY THE HIMALAYAS.

Capable but not intimidating; that has been the ethos of the Himalayan from the start. So it was crucial when developing the new model to keep that in mind – for all the improvements to power, performance and handling, the Himalayan is still an easy, forgiving bike to ride. Superb balance at low speed, combined with the new light-action clutch and smooth throttle response from the Ride by Wire system make easy work of tight trails and tight traffic alike.

ROYAL ENFIELD CELEBRATES 125 YEARS OF PURE MOTORCYCLING AT EICMA 2025 WITH AN EXCITING NEW LINEUP THAT BLENDS TRADITION AND INNOVATION.

Royal Enfield, the world’s oldest motorcycle brand in continuous production, is marking another monumental milestone in its storied journey as it celebrates 125 years of Pure Motorcycling. The brand’s EICMA showcase commemorates this landmark occasion by offering experts and enthusiasts a glimpse into its historical journey – and connecting this legendary past with its dynamic present and ambitious future.

Since 1901, Royal Enfield has created, nurtured and shaped motorcycling culture across the world – from Chennai to London, from Amazonian trails to the high passes of the Himalayas.

At EICMA in Milan – followed by Motoverse in Goa – Royal Enfield will officially kick off a year-long calendar of commemorative activities, signalling the beginning of a pivotal new chapter for the company.

Speaking at EICMA, Siddhartha Lal, Executive Chairman, Eicher Motors Ltd., said, “For 125 years, Royal Enfield has stood as an enduring symbol of authenticity, craftsmanship, and the pure joy of motorcycling. What began as a simple pursuit of building honest, beautiful motorcycles has evolved into a global culture that celebrates exploration, community, and self-expression. This incredible milestone is not just about looking back on our legacy, but looking ahead with clarity and conviction. At EICMA this year, we’re showcasing the full spectrum of what Royal Enfield stands for, from timeless design and intuitive engineering to bold, future-facing innovations that redefine what’s possible in motorcycling. The Electric Himalayan Testbed and Flying Flea city+ concept embody this evolution, blending our heritage with bold ideas for what lies ahead. As we look to the next 125 years, our mission remains the same, to build motorcycles with soul and make Pure Motorcycling accessible to riding enthusiasts around the world.”
Bringing this story alive at EICMA, Royal Enfield unveiled a slew of new motorcycles, offered a peek into some soon-to-be-launched models and platforms, and showcased special edition variants of some community favourites.

Adding, B. Govindarajan, Managing Director – Eicher Motors Ltd., and Chief Executive Officer – Royal Enfield, said, “EICMA 2025 is as much a celebration of our 125-year heritage as it is a showcase of our evolution. The motorcycles unveiled here represent our commitment to timeless design, purposeful innovation, and the spirit of Pure Motorcycling. We are honoring our heritage by unveiling the Classic 650 125th Anniversary Special Edition, a seamless blend of legacy and modern innovation. Simultaneously, we strengthen our core segments with the purpose-built Himalayan Mana Black Edition and the Bullet 650, which breathes new life into an icon that has defined generations. Solidifying our electric future, we are expanding the Flying Flea portfolio with the FF.S6, preparing for a launch in 2026. Looking forward, we will keep propagating the Royal Enfield DNA, offering riders around the world a blend of authenticity, innovation, and Pure Motorcycling.”

As befits a brand steeped in tradition, the lineup of new launches is helmed by the majestic new Royal Enfield Bullet 650. The Bullet has long been the heartbeat of the brand, prized as an heirloom by generations of riders and enthusiasts. Over the past nine decades, the company has refined the pedigree of the world’s oldest motorcycle in continuous production, and in 2025, it finds its most powerful expression yet: the Bullet 650, the epitome of old school cool.

Also unveiled at the event was a special edition of the Royal Enfield Classic 650, reimagined to commemorate 125 years of Royal Enfield. This special edition blends the timeless silhouette of the Classic with a strikingly modern aesthetic, representing the Royal Enfield’s ethos of balancing tradition and innovation.

Showcasing a new version of its celebrated adventure motorcycle, Royal Enfield introduced the Himalayan Mana Black edition. Inspired by the formidable Mana Pass route, the Mana Black edition accentuates the rugged, spartan character of the Himalayan.

Royal Enfield also debuted a one-of-a-kind collaboration with Shotgun x Rough Crafts inspired by its OG custom-built motorcycle. This limited edition motorcycle is a unique fusion of Royal Enfield’s modern neo-retro design philosophy and Rough Crafts’ unmistakable signature aesthetic, celebrating the spirit of individuality, craftsmanship and creativity that defines the custom motorcycle culture.

Also making its debut at EICMA is Flying Flea’s new Scrambler-styled motorcycle – the FF.S6. Built for urban exploration, the FF.S6. sets new benchmarks of sophistication, versatility and agility in the global EV space.

Compact, lightweight and delivers 40hp through its new 6-speed gearbox. But you don’t need to know any of that. What you need to know is that like the high-altitude Sherpa that inspired it, this engine has the power to pull you out of a sandy hollow at 5,000 meters above sea level, while being smooth enough to enjoy the 5-hour trip back home afterwards.

4 INCH ROUND TFT DISPLAY — FULL MAP NAVIGATION WITH PHONE CONNECTIVITY — UPLOAD .GPX FILES THE TFT DISPLAY

What do you need to know? The TFT display on the Himalayan gives you the important information where you need it, wherever your plan takes you.
Full map navigation with phone connectivity and the ability to upload .gpx files. Call answering lets you explain to your friends where the heck you’ve
got to and music control gives the whole trip the perfect soundtrack.

VERSATILE 21″ FRONT AND 17″ REAR WHEEL COMBINATION — INCREASED GROUND CLEARANCE + TRAVEL SUSPENSION THE BEST CHASSIS IS THE ONE YOU DON’T NOTICE.

From the versatile 21″ front and 17″ rear wheel combination to the large enduro footpegs and wide handlebars, the Himalayan works with you in all
situations, on- or off-road. The slim seat and tank let you get your feet firmly on the ground when you stop, while increased ground clearance
and longer travel suspension let you choose the roughest tracks.

Tripper

The world’s first full-map navigation on a circular display built with Google Maps Platform.

USD Forks
Quality suspension lets you keep the bike on the line you’ve chosen over the roughest terrain and that’s exactly what you get from the inverted Showa cartridge fork.

Chassis
The steel twin-spar frame is stronger, stiffer and narrower between the legs for improved comfort while riding in a standing position. Better handling, better stability and better balance.

Ride by Wire with Rider Modes
Ride-by-wire with four riding modes so you can tune the response to suit the terrain and your mood, while in the background the bike delivers smooth fuelling and better fuel economy.

Water Wading
Engines and water don’t mix. But adventure and river crossings go hand-in-hand so we developed the Himalayan with a high up air intake under the tank to keep you rolling when the rivers are running high.

Seat Height
Nobody wants to stop riding because they’re saddle sore. So the new Himalayan features an adjustable two-piece seat to keep both rider and pillion comfortable, along with an optional low seat to keep your feet on the ground at any altitude.

Sherpa 450
Like the high-altitude Sherpa that inspired it, this engine has the torque to pull you out of a sandy hollow at 5,000 meters above sea level while being able to enjoy the 5 day trip back home afterward
