Royal Enfield Himalayan 440 specifications and features
Every figure from the manufacturer's sheet, plus what each feature actually does for you.
Engine and performance
The 443cc oil-cooled engine makes 25.4 bhp and 34 Nm through a 6 Speed. With a kerb weight of 199 kg that is 128 bhp per tonne, 13th best power-to-weight of the 14 bikes in this class we have reviewed.
Torque is high relative to peak power, which is what you want for pulling away with a pillion and riding a gear higher in traffic rather than chasing the redline.

Dimensions in practice
The Himalayan 440 weighs 199 kg with fluids, has an 800 mm seat, 220 mm of ground clearance, and rides on a 1460 mm wheelbase. That clearance is generous: speed breakers and broken roads will not trouble the underbody.
The fuel tank holds 15 litres.
Tyres are 90/90-21 front and 120/90-17 rear.
Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Safety and braking
Stops both wheels from locking under panic braking. The single biggest safety upgrade on a two-wheeler.
Front disc brake
Sheds heat and works when wet. Worth the small premium over a drum on any commuter.
Rear disc brake
Adds feel and fade resistance at the back; matters more on heavier or faster bikes.
Side-stand engine cut-off
Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.
Hazard lamps
All four indicators flash; useful in fog and when stopped on a highway shoulder.
Chassis
Rear monoshock
One central shock instead of twin units; usually better damping on broken roads.
Lighting
LED headlamp
Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.
LED daytime running lamp
Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.
LED tail lamp
Lights up instantly, which gives the vehicle behind a fraction more warning.
Console and connectivity
Digital console
Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.
Bluetooth connectivity
Call and message alerts on the console so the phone stays in your pocket.
Convenience
USB charging port
Charges the phone on a long commute. Check whether it is Type-A or Type-C.
Engine kill switch
Switch the engine off from the right bar without reaching for the key.
