Royal Enfield to Launch Simpler Himalayan 440 Adventure Motorcycle in 2026
Royal Enfield plans to launch the Himalayan 440 on September 4, 2026, marking a decade since the original Himalayan's debut.

Based on the Scram 440 platform, it focuses on mechanical simplicity and touring comfort, targeting riders seeking an accessible entry-level adventure bike without advanced electronic features.
