But fresh orders for the Himalayan 440 are on hold as the model's launch last month drove a frenzy that already booked six months into the future.
At ₹2.29 lakh ex‑showroom, the bike sits on a 443‑cc single‑cylinder that churns out 25.4 hp and 34 Nm of torque, paired with a 6‑speed gearbox that keeps it balanced on 21‑inch front and 17‑inch rear wheels, with 200 mm front and 180 mm rear travel.
It’s the low‑priced cousin of the Himalayan 450, trading a few extra horsepower for a lighter, simpler build. On the adventure‑bike map, it sits between the KTM 390 Adventure and the Bajaj Dominar 400, offering a similar off‑road feel but at a more approachable price point.
Royal Enfield has paused new bookings to curb the backlog, promising to lift production before reopening. No price revision is on the cards, so the 440 remains a good value if you can wait.
The model is already shipping to major metros, with delivery slated for the next quarter. Buyers who pre‑booked earlier will receive their bikes on schedule, while anyone waiting will need to keep an eye on the brand’s production updates.
Keep a lookout for the next production run; once the factory ramps up, the waiting list could shrink and the Himalayan 440 might become available for new orders in the coming months.
