2020 Royal Enfield Himalayan Spotted In New Spy Pics

A test mule of what appears to be an updated Royal Enfield Himalayan has been spotted. The bike in question is expected to be the updated Royal Enfield Himalayan, to comply with the upcoming Bharat Stage VI (BS6) emission regulations. The biggest change though is that the test mule seems to be running a different wheel set-up than on the current generation Royal Enfield Himalayan. While the current RE Himalayan runs a 21-inch front wheel and an 18-inch rear wheel set-up, the test mule in the spy pics seems to sport a 19-inch front wheel and 17-inch rear wheel set-up.

The instrument console gets minor updates with an additional button next to the fuel gauge

Design-wise, the test mule retains the same bodywork and design of the current Himalayan, with the same windscreen and twin-pod analogue instrument console, with a small digital screen, as well as analogue fuel gauge and compass. But the console now gets an additional button next to the fuel gauge, presumably a switch to disengage the ABS. The design of the speedometer dial is slightly different as well, and the updated Himalayan now sports a standard hazard light switch on the right handlebar.

The front wheel of the test mule is of 19-inch size, and the right handlebar sports a hazard light switch

While it's difficult to say what kind of changes the test mule has undergone, the engine has likely undergone changes, to make it cleaner to meet the new BS6 emission regulations. So far, there's no word on when the new Himalayan will be introduced commercially, but we expect Royal Enfield to introduce the updated model before March 2020. Expect prices to be revised as well, with the new Himalayan to be priced around Rs. 2 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
