Royal Enfield will launch the new Himalayan 440 in India this September, powered by an air-cooled single-cylinder engine directly descended from the old Himalayan 411's LS410 unit. It makes 25.4hp and 34Nm of torque with a new 6-speed gearbox, plus a 21-inch front wheel and redesigned windscreen. Expected pricing is around Rs 2.5 lakh.

Check the spec sheet — an air-cooled engine directly descended from the old 410 series is what gets me. 25.4hp and 34Nm looks modest on paper, but the new 6-speed box and 21-inch front wheel lift real off-road capability. Compared with the old bike, this feels a notch more mature.

Does air-cooled hold up fine in stop-and-go traffic in midsummer?

From what I remember, old air-cooled singles weren't that finicky about it.

At that price some people will just say get a KLX300 instead.

Nah for range and load capacity the Himalayan line is way better for touring.

An air-cooled 411-lineage engine coming back is incredible, I want one.
