Royal Enfield Said To Be Developing Himalayan 440 For Late-2026 Launch

The model would target riders priced out by the taller, tech-heavy Himalayan 450.

Overview

  • Royal Enfield is reportedly developing a Himalayan 440, with coverage on Tuesday and Wednesday pointing to a late-2026 launch.
  • Reports say it would share the Scram 440’s 443cc air/oil-cooled single and 6-speed gearbox with roughly 25.4 hp and 34 Nm.
  • The bike is expected to slot between the Scram 440 and Himalayan 450 at about Rs 2.20–2.70 lakh ex-showroom, though pricing is not confirmed.
  • A simple spec is likely, with switchable ABS and the Tripper navigation pod but no ride modes or traction control, plus longer-travel suspension and a 21/17-inch wheel setup.
  • Seat height is expected around 795–800 mm to keep it easy to manage for more riders, recalling the original Himalayan 411’s approachable feel.
