RE Himalayan Mana Black Edition rolled out at Rs 3.37 lakh—All you need to know

Motorcycle manufacturer Royal Enfield, a subsidiary of Eicher Motors, on Friday rolled out a new avatar of the Himalayan -- Himalayan Mana Black Edition -- at Rs 3.37 lakh (ex-showroom).

The Himalayan is Royal Enfield's adventure touring lineup of motorcycles designed to offer versatility on varied terrains. Equipped with both on-road and off-road capabilities, the Himalayan entered the domestic two-wheeler space in 2016 after the auto maker revealed the concept in 2015.

The launch of the Himalayan marked a distinct departure from Royal Enfield's traditional models. The motorcycle initially sported a 411cc single-cylinder, oil-cooled, long-stroke engine with electronic fuel injection and 5-speed transmission.
