Royal Enfield has introduced an improved side stand for the Himalayan 450 to address the issue of the bike leaning too much when parked, which was observed in the previous model. This is important for Indian bike owners because the bike would be more difficult to lift when it was parked at such an angle. The improved side stand will ensure that the bike does not lean as much when it is parked. This will be an important addition for bike owners in India because it will make the bike easier to handle when it is loaded with luggage. For those who don't know, the price of the Himalayan 450 starts at Rs 3.06 lakh and goes up to Rs 3.37 lakh for the top-end Mana Black (ex-showroom).Also Read: Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Vs Yamaha XSR 155 — Price, Mileage And Specs ComparisonBreaking It DownWhat accessories are available for the Himalayan 450?How does the Mana Black Edition differ from the standard Himalayan?What are the performance specs of the Himalayan 450 engine?Created with AI. Errors are possibleRoyal Enfield Himalayan 450 In Hanle Black Shade What The Lean Issue Was And Why It MatteredThe previous Himalayan 450 models tended to lean more when parked on the side stand, which was more than usual for adventure bikes. This made it more difficult to turn the bike upright and resulted in a lack of stability on an incline. This was also a problem for a rider carrying luggage or getting on from the left side. The Indian roadways may have uneven road shoulders and parking lots, which made this problem worse. This is not a problem with the bike but rather a design issue that impacts the usability of the bike.Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 In Motion What Changed In The New Side Stand DesignThe updated side stand changes the length and mounting points to ensure the motorcycle is positioned at a more neutral angle when using the stand. This revised side stand will not change the ground clearance or the retraction of the stand. The update ensures that the motorcycle is not as likely to tip over to one side when on uneven surfaces. Notably, the update is not electronic or suspension-related. This ensures that the update does not impact the ride dynamics of the motorcycle. For consumers, this ensures that the solution addresses the parking position.Also Read: Royal Enfield Classic 350 Vs Bullet 350 - Price, Mileage And Which One To BuyAvailability And Retrofit For Existing OwnersRoyal Enfield has ensured that the upgraded side stand is available in the market as a replacement accessory, which will enable existing Himalayan 450 buyers to benefit from it without having to upgrade other parts of the motorcycle. This is an easy process since there are no changes in the mounting points. This will ensure that the first buyers of the motorcycle are not left behind in terms of usability compared to the later models. For potential buyers, it is essential to know that the problem has been solved, which will reduce any hesitation to buy the motorcycle due to negative feedback from early buyers. In the touring motorcycles market in India, such improvements will have an impact on confidence and resale value.Latest News world'Stop Eating People': Are Russian Troops Resorting to 'Cannibalism'?
