Engineered by Enfield for the enduro - offroad motorcycle segment, the 2016 Enfield Himalayan pairs a 411 cc (25.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 24.5 HP (17.9 kW) at 6,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 32 Nm (23.6 lb-ft) at 4,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 59.6 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (4,000 rpm) and peak power (6,500 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the Himalayan measures 182 kg (401 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.43 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,465 mm (57.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
