Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Mana Black: A Tribute to Adventure, Unveiled at EICMA 2025
If you’ve ever dreamed of riding through the Himalayas with a machine that feels as wild and resilient as the terrain itself, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Mana Black might just be your perfect companion. Unveiled at EICMA 2025, this new edition is more than just a motorcycle—it’s a tribute to Mana, the last village on the Indo-Tibetan border, and a symbol of untamed exploration.
With rally-inspired upgrades, a bold new design, and the same trusted performance, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Mana Black is ready to conquer both hearts and trails.
Design Inspired by the Himalayas
The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Mana Black stands out with its all-black color scheme, accented by grey graphics on the fuel tank and side panels. The most noticeable change is the redesigned tail section, featuring flared rally-style panels that give the bike a more aggressive and purposeful stance.
Other design highlights include:
- Knuckle guards with aluminum brace
- High-set front fender
- Sleeker number plate holder
- Single-piece rally-style seat (35mm taller, 860mm height)
- Tubeless spoked wheels for better off-road reliability
These upgrades make the Mana Black edition look and feel like a true rally machine.
Engine and Performance
Under the rugged exterior, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Mana Black retains the same trusted powertrain:
- 452cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine
- 40PS power and 40Nm torque
- 6-speed gearbox with assist and slipper clutch
This setup ensures smooth gear shifts, strong low-end torque, and reliable performance across terrains. Whether you’re cruising through city streets or climbing rocky trails, the Mana Black delivers consistent power and control.
Weight Reduction and Ergonomics
Thanks to the new tail section and rally-style seat, the bike sheds 1kg, bringing its kerb weight to 195kg. The taller seat offers better comfort for long rides and improved posture for off-road standing positions.
The ergonomics are designed for adventure:
- Flat seat for better saddling
- Wide handlebars for control
- Optimized footpeg placement for balance
These changes make the Mana Black edition more rider-friendly, especially for those who love long-distance touring or off-road challenges.
Tubeless Spoked Wheels – A Game Changer
One of the most practical upgrades is the addition of tubeless spoked wheels. This feature combines the flexibility of spoked rims with the convenience of tubeless tyres, making puncture repairs easier and enhancing safety during off-road rides.
This is a long-awaited feature for Himalayan fans and adds serious value to the Mana Black edition.
India Launch Timeline and Expected Price
While the global debut happened at EICMA 2025, the India launch is expected at Motoverse 2025, scheduled later this month. Pricing hasn’t been officially announced, but industry insiders expect a slight premium over the standard Himalayan 450, placing it around ₹2.90 lakh to ₹3.10 lakh (ex-showroom).
This price reflects the added accessories and rally-ready enhancements.

Final Thoughts: Himalayan Mana Black Is Built for the Bold

It’s for riders who seek solitude in the mountains, thrill in the unknown, and pride in riding something truly Indian.
