Thus, it was a surprise for many in 2016 that after acquiring the reputed chassis making brand, Harris Performance a year earlier, the 1901-born bike major decided to go with a completely modern looking Himalayan 411. The biking community, however, wasn't complaining as the bike was an adventure touring dual sport motorcycle, a gap that needed filling up. Fast forward eight years and Siddharth Lal’s team is getting ready for major upgrades to enhance performance and live up better to its touring description while having a global ambition. Such is the fandom of the Himalayan 411’s looks amongst the bike driving community that a section is slightly worried about “too much look change”. Says Abhishek Roy, an avid biker who has done a round trip to Leh-Ladakh from Hyderabad, “Looks will definitely matter. But, if the bike has everything that I’ve picked from the leaked information available, then looks might become secondary.” So, what are these changes that the biking world is excited about? To understand that we need to look at the Himalayan 411 with which RE won its biggest war in placing itself as a more-than-just-retro manufacturer. The Himalayan 411: What was amiss? The Himalayan 411 and its sister, the Scram 411, which was launched in 2022, offered Indian riders who wanted to go off-roading a viable option. The engine, however, has its limitations, as it is air-cooled and, thus, the bike sometimes lacks the required torque needed on long haul rides. Says Nishant Shukla, a biker who has explored the Western coastal line as well as Rajasthan’s desert terrains on bike, “Since I am not a big off roader, I would also see the highway worthiness of the new Himalayan. If it has ample power/torque. Moreover, the current Himalayan lacks the fancy adventure bike aids such as ride by wire, quickshifters etc.” The competition has heated up in the ADV (adventure) segment, with the launch of the Yezdi Adventure and Triumph Scrambler 400 X. In the lower rung of this segment, the Hero’s XPulse 200 has done well but the main competition for the new Himalayan will still be the KTM 390 Duke Adventure. The current 411-cc, single-cylinder engine pushes out only 24.3 horsepower, which translates to approximately 110 kmph cruising speed. Compare this to the KTM 390 Adventure which has 43 horsepower at its disposal. Moreover, after the 110 kmph speed, acceleration is found lacking unlike the RE’s 650 twin-cylinder offerings – the Interceptor, the Continental GT and the Super Meteor 650. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="What the market expects from the new Himalayan 450" text="What the market expects from the new Himalayan 450">What the market expects from the new Himalayan 450</cmsannotation> The new Himalayan, as per media reports, will try and resolve the above issues. Business Insider took a deep dive into this new offering by Royal Enfield: A liquid-cooled engine The new Himalayan, is expected to come with a liquid cooled engine, unlike its predecessor. This should translate to longer riding time at a higher torque. It is estimated to produce around 40 BHP and 40 Nm and will be paired with a six-speed gearbox, as per a <a href="https://www.team-bhp.com/news/royal-enfield-himalayan-450-leaked-ahead-launch">Team-BHP report</a>. Multiple riding modes Auto tracking websites suggest that the new bike will come with three riding modes, which was missing in the previous edition and has riders excited. The bike should be enabled by a first-time ride-by-wire system. Says Roy who is waiting for the bike launch before making up his mind on the adventure bike to buy, “I’m really waiting to test the different drive modes and the ride by wire.” The modes on offer should support rain riding, off road riding and cruising (normal). The off-road mode when enabled will switch off the ABS (anti-locking braking system) at the real wheel to support deliberate rear sliding. A bigger tank? The tank on the new bike, as per leaked images <a href="https://www.autocarindia.com/bike-news/royal-enfield-himalayan-450-leaked-ahead-of-november-launch-429182">reported by Autocar</a>, looks to be bigger and reports say that it could be as large as a 15-20 litre unit offering longer run time. Expected launch Royal Enfield is targeting an <a href="https://www.bikewale.com/royalenfield-bikes/himalayan-450/">early November launch</a> of the bike as per multiple reports. It is noteworthy that the bike manufacturer holds its annual biking event – the Rider Mania – in Goa each year around the same time and the buzz on the street says that the new Himalayan might be unveiled between November 24-26 for the public in full glory. The global ambition The top end of the new Himalayan 450, as per reports, will be launched later next year and is codenamed K1X. The buzz on the street is that Royal Enfield has rallying aspirations and might be targeting the coveted <keyword id="76133" type="General" weightage="40" keywordseo="dakar-rally" source="Orion">Dakar Rally</keyword> in years to come. The event is open to amateur and professional entries but the latter make up about 80% of the participants. In fact, one of India’s top offroaders, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CuHUIjVhFeC/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=b7715b60-a33a-47bc-95d1-a8e5d547dff8">CS Santosh</a> released a teaser on Instagram of the bike a few months earlier showcasing its agility. That the company has ambitions to play in the European and American markets is no secret. The company’s 650-cc bikes have been a favourite of sorts for the British market already as they offer decent power with acceleration at a cheaper rate than the Suzuki, Harley, Triumph and Kawasakis. In 2020, UK’s Motorcycle Industry Association showed that the Interceptor 650 sales were second only to the highly popular Honda PCX 125 scooter. Tyre changes? The new Himalayan is likely to stick to CEAT tyres but media reports suggest that unlike its predecessor it will be made from a special compound to support both off-roading as well as highway cruising. To put it in context, the company currently says that the present Himalayan’s tyres are designed 70% for roads and 30% for off-roading.

Explained: Why the motorcycling world is kicked about the Himalayan 450 that’s set for launch this November

The <keyword id="31979" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bike" source="Orion">bike</keyword>’s details have been out apart for the price which was announced by the Royal Enfield’s chief Siddharth Lal. The adventure tourer will be available starting Rs 2.69 lakh ex-showroom Delhi. The Hanley Black, it's top variant will be available at Rs 2.84 lakh. The bike will also be made available in Europe and the UK from March 2024. In Europe it's priced at 5,900 euros while in the UK it will be sold at 5,750 pounds. Speaking at the event, Lal explained why RE decided to upgrade the Himalayan substantially from ground up. He said that the inspiration was <keyword id="54923" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bruce-lee" source="Orion">Bruce Lee</keyword>, the martial arts expert who starred in the Hollywood classic, ‘Enter the Dragon’. The rationale being that Bruce Lee defined the fit action hero and this showed a difference from the beefed up heros who ruled the silver screen before. This in the motorcycling world would translate to the new Himalayan being ready to take on the bigger adventure tourers like BMW GS 1300 and Kawasaki Versys 1000. Here’s everything you need to know about the adventure tourer. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Available variants" comment="Subhead" text="Available variants">Available variants</cmsannotation> The Himalayan 450 is available in three variants at launch – Base, Pass and Summit.

Bend it like Bruce Lee: Royal Enfield launches bike inspired by the sensei

<ul><li>Eicher has underperformed the Nifty Auto Index by 24% this period, while <keyword id="6359783" type="General" weightage="90" keywordseo="bajaj-auto" source="Orion">Bajaj Auto</keyword> shares are up 10%.</li><li>Competition has gone up in the mid-premium segment with the entry of <keyword id="52525" type="General" weightage="60" keywordseo="triumph" source="Orion">Triumph</keyword> and <keyword id="6357453" type="General" weightage="60" keywordseo="harley-davidson" source="Orion">Harley Davidson</keyword>.</li><li>Analysts divided on this face-off, as some bat for Bajaj while others stick with <keyword id="80296" type="General" weightage="90" keywordseo="eicher-motors" source="Orion">Eicher Motors</keyword>.</li></ul> Stock prices are a good indicator of all that’s likely to happen to a company in future and not just in the present. The diverging stock prices of two motorcycle majors – Bajaj Auto and Eicher Motors – are telling an interesting story. Over the last one month Bajaj Auto’s stock has rallied 10% while that of Eicher has risen by 3.3%, which is a modest increase in comparison. And the Nifty Auto Index has rallied by 5.2% in the same time. So what’s happening to makers of two-wheelers in India? Competition is on the rise in the mid-premium segment, where Eicher has been a leader so far with its iconic Royal Enfield offerings. Bajaj Auto has launched the Triumph Speed 400 which provides 39.5 bhp of power with a 398-cc engine. Bajaj Auto stock has gotten a power boost due to the positive reviews the Triumph Speed 400 has received. Compared to the Harley or RE’s <keyword id="6426894" type="General" weightage="60" keywordseo="himalayan" source="Orion">Himalayan</keyword> and 350-cc offerings, the bike offers higher power. Another two-wheeler major – Hero MotoCorp in collaboration with Harley Davidson – has launched the new X440 which provides 27 bhp power with a 440-cc engine. Both the bikes have received approximately 20-26K bookings since launch in early-July. Moreover, the Yezdi Adventure and the <keyword id="220906" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="jawa" source="Orion">Jawa</keyword> 42 Bobber have also added to the competition. Competition in the mid-premium range of bikes in India is growing by the day and this is impacting stock prices too. Jeffries, research house, points out that the Eicher, although up 5% in 2023, has underperformed the Nifty Auto Index by 24% in this period. The report adds that it is time to “buy” it as it sees limited impact from competition launching new bikes in the past month and a half. Like economists, analysts rarely agree on likely winners. While Jefferies has retained its faith in Eicher, BofA Securities has upgraded Bajaj Auto to a ‘Buy’ saying that FY25 looks promising for the company with new Triumph launches on the same platform lined up. “The product (Speed 400cc) clearly seems to be making a mark in large metro cities-design, specs &amp; price stand out.. Scrambler 400cc launch in a few weeks and export markets expansion will be added catalysts and drive volumes. Our workings suggests that Triumph could add Rs 150-250/ share value to valuations (base to bull case).” <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Why eicher underperformance may be temporary" text="Why this may be temporary for Royal Enfield?">Why this may be temporary for Royal Enfield?</cmsannotation> Royal Enfield has sold 69K bikes per month in Apr-Aug in India and has interesting launches lined up in the near future to plug the gap in the ~400-cc power battle. Firstly, it has the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/auto/news/why-the-motorcycling-world-is-kicked-about-himalayan-450-which-will-launch-in-november-2023/articleshow/103795276.cms">new Himalayan launch</a> lined up – an adventure tourer which is expected to give 40 bhp of power, in-line with the new Triumph and the segment favourite, KTM 390. Channel checks also suggest that RE has not seen any significant impact so far, even in cities where Harley and Triumph bikes are available. “We factor RE total volumes (domestic + exports) of 76K/85K/95K in FY24E/FY25E/FY26E,” argues the Jeffries report. It adds, “We retain Buy on EIM with revised PT of Rs 4,150 (earlier Rs4,000), valuing RE at 25x FY25E PE (earlier 24x).” A wider portfolio to bank on Royal Enfield has a much wider portfolio than its competition in the premium biking segment. This offers buyers options at multiple price points to enter the segment – all the way from 350-cc to 650-cc. A new 650-cc bike, most likely to be called Shotgun 650, has also been spotted being road tested. Moreover, after the Himalayan 450, the market would expect RE to also upgrade its Scam 411 with the same engine. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none;" class="redcator-table-advance"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-right:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Company </td><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-right:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Current Offering </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-right:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Triumph </td><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-right:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Speed 400 </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-right:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Jawa </td><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.50000025pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">42 Bomber, Standard, Perak 350 cc </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-right:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Harley Davidson </td><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-right:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">X440 </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-right:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">RE (350 cc) </td><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.50000025pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Hunter, Classic Bullet, Meteor </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-right:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">RE (650 cc) </td><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.50000025pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Continental GT, Interceptor, Super Meteor </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-right:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">RE (400 cc) </td><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.50000025pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.50000025pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Himalayan, Scram </td></tr></tbody><tbody></tbody><tbody></tbody></table> A report by Axis Securities, after RE delivered its first quarter results, says that, “While the acceptance of the competitive products could pose a threat to RE, the &gt;250cc segment itself could grow, thereby partially reducing the competitive intensity.

The next few launches in the mid-premium to premium segment will be eagerly awaited by the market and biking enthusiasts alike. The rising competition should offer more choice to the Indian consumer while the market will like to see which bike maker vrooms ahead.

Game Of Thrones: Bajaj Auto and Eicher Motors headed for face-off in mid-premium bike segment

You can always use your membership if a location is available.</li></ul>Some days, it feels like nothing goes right with your trip. Delays, unhelpful airline staff, and grouchy people around the airport can easily drag down your mood when you're on the way to your next plane. But when you can <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-airport-lounges-in-the-world-under-55-a-visit-2018-7">slip away to a premium travel lounge</a>, you'll have a much different experience.Travel lounges are not exclusively reserved for international first class and business travelers. With the right card in hand, you can step into over 1,000 lounges around the world. If that sounds good to you, read more to learn about Priority Pass Select and how you can snag a membership.<h2>What is Priority Pass Select?</h2>Before I got <a href="https://personalprofitability.com/complete-beginner-guide-travel-hacking/">into credit card reward miles and points</a>, I never saw beyond those beautiful, frosted doors that welcomed people I always assumed to be business or very wealthy travelers to exclusive lounges. I soon discovered that those lounges are not as exclusive or cost prohibitive as I'd once believed.Top-of-the-line airline credit cards often come with access to their own lounges. That's how I got my first taste of this magical travel experience. I started with the American Airlines Executive card, which included entry to Admirals Club lounges. But that only worked when I actually flew on American. What I have now works no matter what airline I choose.Priority Pass Select is a program that grants you access to 1,200 affiliated lounges around the world. You can <a href="https://www.prioritypass.com/en/airport-lounges">find a lounge in most major airports</a> (40 in the US). And in some airports, you can go to a restaurant and use your Priority Pass card for a $27 credit per person to cover your food and drink purchases.It doesn't work everywhere and doesn't have a lounge in every terminal, but it's pretty good. If you travel internationally on a regular basis, it's even better. I'm a huge fan and I'm hooked on using a credit card that includes this huge benefit.<h2>Credit cards with Priority Pass included</h2>I get Priority Pass membership through my <a href="https://thepointsguy.com/card-details/chase-sapphire-reserve/?utm_campaign=bi_062519_er_priority-pass&amp;utm_source=referral">Chase Sapphire Reserve</a> card. This card charges a $450 annual fee but includes a $300 annual travel credit good for any hotel, airline, or other eligible travel purchase. Because I would spend the $300 anyway, it makes the cost of my Priority Pass membership effectively $150 per year. For me, that's well worth it.I used to get a membership through an <a href="https://thepointsguy.com/card-details/the-enhanced-business-platinum-card-from-american-express-open/?utm_campaign=bi_062519_er_priority-pass&amp;utm_source=referral">Business Platinum</a><a href="https://thepointsguy.com/card-details/the-enhanced-business-platinum-card-from-american-express-open/?utm_campaign=bi_062519_er_priority-pass&amp;utm_source=referral">®</a><a href="https://thepointsguy.com/card-details/the-enhanced-business-platinum-card-from-american-express-open/?utm_campaign=bi_062519_er_priority-pass&amp;utm_source=referral"> Card from American Express</a> card, but dropped it after a fee increase about a year ago. AmEx recently announced its Priority Pass cards won't include the restaurant option, so it isn't as good of an offering as with other cards.You can also pick up a membership with the Citi Prestige card, <a href="https://thepointsguy.com/card-details/marriott-bonvoy-brilliant-american-express-card/?utm_campaign=bi_062519_er_priority-pass&amp;utm_source=referral">Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant™ American Express® Card</a>, <a href="https://thepointsguy.com/card-details/hilton-honors-american-express-aspire-card/?utm_campaign=bi_062519_er_priority-pass&amp;utm_source=referral">Hilton Honors Aspire Card from American Express</a>, <a href="https://thepointsguy.com/card-details/hilton-honors-american-express-ascend-card/?utm_campaign=bi_062519_er_priority-pass&amp;utm_source=referral">Hilton Honors American Express Ascend Card</a> (only 10 visits per year included), and US Bank Altitude Reserve Infinite Card (four visits per year), according to ValuePenguin.Each card with Priority Pass typically has a sizable annual fee, but also comes loaded with a wide range of additional benefits. For me, <a href="https://thepointsguy.com/card-details/chase-sapphire-reserve/?utm_campaign=bi_062519_er_priority-pass&amp;utm_source=referral">Chase Sapphire Reserve</a> makes the most sense. But that may not be the case for everyone.<h2>Make sure you know what your Priority Pass membership includes</h2>Most Priority Pass cards give you two free guests per visit and charge $27 per additional guest. Some lounges have their own rules, which are easily accessible through the Priority Pass mobile app.Note that restaurant servers and some lounge personnel may not be fully familiar with how Priority Pass works.I once took my wife and two kids to a restaurant at the Portland airport when our Southwest flight was delayed. In addition to the compensation provided by Southwest, our Priority Pass gave us $27 per person. I should have made a point to ask them to only check in three of us with the Priority Pass, because I did get charged $27 for the fourth guest.You definitely don't want to get hit with a charge for extra guests when you were not expecting one.<h2>If you're into premium travel, don't travel without Priority Pass</h2>Now that I know what goes on beyond the frosted doors, I won't go back. Complimentary food and drinks, fast internet, clean bathrooms, and maybe even a shower are waiting for you on the other side.Priority Pass Select comes with cards that offer <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-credit-card-reward-program">their own miles and points programs</a>, so your membership also comes with opportunities to earn free and discounted flights, hotels, and other travel along the way. I don't leave for a trip without it.<h3><a href="https://thepointsguy.com/card-details/chase-sapphire-reserve/?utm_campaign=bi_062519_er_priority-pass&amp;utm_source=referral">Learn more about the Chase Sapphire Reserve from our partner The Points Guy »</a></h3>Disclosure: This post is brought to you by the Personal Finance Insider team.
