Also, the rear-carrier rack has been rede-
signed. It's now lighter and provides improved
fastening and placement of luggage. The carrier
rack is also positioned lower, making it easier to
swing your leg over the bike.
So, the new Himalayan might cost more than
the Himalayan we last rode in 2020, but, as you
can see, you do get a lot for that extra $550,
but you can take some solace knowing it's only
$300 more than the 2021 Himalayan.
Overall, I like how Royal Enfield took a dif-
ferent approach to adventure riding, combining
simplicity with good performance and comfort,
sprinkling it with some nice amenities, and put-
ting it all together for a low price. And how can
you not love its retro look?
