A rugged, factory-equipped adventure bike inspired by Mana Pass, with rally gear and tubeless spoke wheels as standard.
Royal Enfield Unveils Adventure-Ready Mana Black Edition
Royal Enfield has officially launched the Himalayan 450 Mana Black Edition in India, priced at ₹3.37 lakh (ex-showroom) — a premium of around ₹17,000 over the standard Himalayan 450 version.
What Makes the Mana Black Edition Special
- Design & Inspiration: Drawn from Mana Pass — one of the highest motorable routes in the Himalayas — the bike features a stealth black matte finish that emphasizes its rugged appeal.
- Factory-Fitted Adventure Gear: Unlike other Himalayan variants, this Edition comes ready for the trail with:
- Ergonomics Tweaked: The edition features a taller “rally-style” seat height of 860 mm vs ~825 mm on the standard model.
- Slightly Lighter: The revised rear section reduces the bike’s dry weight by about 1 kg, bringing it down to 195 kg.
Performance & Mechanicals
- Engine: It retains the 452 cc Sherpa 450 liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine.
- Power: Produces about 39.5 bhp and 40 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed transmission and a slipper clutch.
- Chassis & Suspension: Shares the same steel twin-spar frame, Showa USD front forks, and a monoshock rear, tailored for off-road stability.
- Brakes & Wheels: Maintains a 320 mm front disc brake and 270 mm rear disc. The tubeless spoked wheels are a major practical upgrade.
- Ground Clearance: Designed for rugged terrain — 230 mm ground clearance.
- Electronics & Features:
Bookings & Availability
- Bookings for the Mana Black Edition are now open across Royal Enfield dealerships, via the RE app, and on the official website.
- The model was showcased at Motoverse 2025, further cementing its place as a purpose-built, factory-ready adventure variant.
Why This Matters
- Ready-Out-of-the-Box Adventure: This edition targets riders who want a Himalayan that’s trail-ready from day one, without needing to buy and fit accessories separately.
- Premium Yet Practical Premium: The added cost (~₹17,000) is relatively modest given the value of the off-road parts installed by the factory — especially tubeless wheels.
- Brand Strength: Royal Enfield continues to double down on its iconic adventure lineage, offering meaningful upgrades rather than cosmetic refreshes.
