THE NEW HIMALAYAN “MANA BLACK” IS HERE. IT’S BUILT FOR THE HARDEST TERRAIN ON EARTH.

Royal Enfield has just launched the toughest-looking version of its popular adventure bike: the Royal Enfield Himalayan Mana Black Edition.

Priced at ₹3.37 Lakh (ex-showroom), this isn’t just a new paint job. It is inspired by the brutal Mana Pass (near the India-China border), one of the highest and hardest motorable roads in the world.

Here is our simple expert analysis of what makes this “Stealth” Himalayan special.

THE LOOK: TOTAL STEALTH MODE

This bike looks mean. The entire motorcycle is finished in a matte black color scheme—body panels, engine, and frame. There is no shiny chrome. It looks like a military machine built for a secret mission.

THE “RALLY KIT” IS STANDARD (THE BEST PART)

Usually, you have to pay extra for accessories. But the Mana Black Edition comes with a factory-fitted Rally Kit that makes it ready for off-roading straight out of the showroom.

What You Get for Free:

• Tubeless Spoke Wheels: This is huge. Fixing a puncture on a normal spoke wheel is a nightmare. These tubeless wheels (usually an expensive upgrade) make it easy.
• Rally Seat: A flatter, taller seat (860mm) that makes it easier to move around while riding off-road.
• Rally Mudguard: A high-mounted front fender to stop mud from clogging the wheel.
• Knuckle Guards: Reinforced guards to protect your hands and levers from rocks.

ENGINE & SPECS: THE PROVEN SHERPA

Under the black paint, it uses the same powerful Sherpa 450 engine.

• Engine: 452cc Liquid-Cooled Single Cylinder.
• Power: 40 PS (39.5 bhp).
• Torque: 40 Nm.
• Gearbox: 6-Speed with Slipper Clutch.

It also keeps the premium Showa USD Forks and the Google Maps-powered TFT Dashboard.

OUR EXPERT VERDICT

The Royal Enfield Himalayan Mana Black Edition is a fantastic deal.

Why? Because the price gap between the top-end “Hanle Black” and this new “Mana Black” is only about ₹17,000. For that small extra cost, you get the Tubeless Wheels (which alone cost ₹12-15k) plus the Rally Seat, Guards, and Fender.

Conclusion: If you are serious about off-roading or touring to places like Ladakh, this is the best variant to buy. You get all the essential upgrades pre-installed for a bargain price.
