Royal Enfield Himalayan Mana Black Edition Launched At Rs 3.37 Lakh: Motoverse 2025
Royal Enfield has launched the Himalayan Mana Black Edition at 3.37 lakh rupees ex-showroom. The name is inspired by Mana Pass at 5,632 metres near the Indo Tibetan border, a route where Royal Enfield tests its adventure bikes. Shown first at EICMA 2025 in Milan and then launched in India at Motoverse 2025 in Goa, this is a factory accessorised version of the Himalayan 450, set up on the production line for long distance and off road use.
The Mana Black costs 17,354 rupees more than standard Himalayan 450 variants. For that extra money, it adds a Black Rally dual seat for better grip and support, Black Rally handguards to protect the levers off road, and a Rally front mudguard designed to deflect slush and stones away from the engine and radiator. It also gets wire spoked tubeless wheels, which keep the classic look but make puncture repair easier than on tube type setups, and a Stealth Black paint scheme with matte accents that sets it apart visually.
Engine and performance hardware
Under the new bodywork, the Mana Black Edition uses the same Sherpa 450 engine as the regular Himalayan 450. This 451.65 cc, liquid cooled, single cylinder, DOHC motor produces 29.44 kW at 8,000 rpm and 40 Nm at 5,500 rpm. It uses a semi dry sump layout, ride by wire fuel injection with a 42 mm throttle body and is paired with a six speed gearbox.
A slip and assist clutch helps reduce lever effort in traffic and also smooths out aggressive downshifts by limiting rear wheel hop. Because the engine and gearbox are unchanged, performance, gearing and service requirements remain identical to the standard bike, which will appeal to buyers who want added kit without moving to a different mechanical package.
Chassis, suspension and brakes
The Mana Black Edition continues with the steel twin spar tubular frame. Suspension is handled by 43 mm Showa upside down forks at the front with 200 mm of travel and a linkage type monoshock at the rear, also with 200 mm of travel. This setup is aimed at absorbing broken surfaces while still feeling controlled at higher speeds.
Ground clearance is 230 mm and seat height is 860 mm, figures that give the bike proper adventure stance while still being manageable for average height riders. The wheelbase is 1,510 mm and kerb weight is 195 kg. Royal Enfield claims that the 17 litre fuel tank can offer around 500 km in mixed riding at about 29 km per litre, which suits long highway runs and remote routes where fuel stops are scarce.
Braking is through a 320 mm ventilated front disc with a double piston caliper and a 270 mm rear disc with a single piston caliper. Dual channel ABS is standard, and the system allows the rider to switch off ABS at the rear wheel for off road use. Many trail riders prefer this setting because it lets them use small rear slides to help turn the bike or scrub speed on loose surfaces.
Electronics, features and variants
On the electronics front, the Mana Black Edition carries over the Himalayan 450 feature set. A four inch round TFT display shows speed, revs, trip data and bike information, and supports phone connectivity. Full map Google powered navigation is built in, removing the need to clamp a phone to the handlebar for turn by turn directions. Riders also get media controls, USB Type C charging, ride modes that alter throttle response and traction control, and LED lighting for the headlamp, tail lamp and indicators.
In terms of size, the bike measures 2,285 mm in length, 900 mm in width and 1,316 mm in height. The factory spec accessories package means buyers can ride straight out of the showroom with a complete adventure setup instead of piecing together parts from the catalogue and the aftermarket.
Bookings are open across Royal Enfield dealerships, the brand’s app and website. The Mana Black Edition now sits at the top of the Himalayan 450 range, alongside the Base, Pass, Summit and Rally variants that are priced between 2.85 lakh and 3.20 lakh rupees ex showroom. All use the same core engine and chassis, which should keep service and spares straightforward even as customers pick different versions based on budget, styling and intended use.
