Royal Enfield unveils Himalayan Black Edition for PH

MANILA: Royal Enfield has formally brought to the Philippines the latest top-tier offering under the Himalayan nameplate.

Called the Himalayan Mana Black Edition, the brand’s latest offering comes with aesthetic updates that made it more fit to be part of the brand's adventure motorcycle roster.

In a statement, Motociclista Scatola Incorporated (MSI) — Royal Enfield’s local distributor — shared that the Mana Black Edition draws inspiration from Mana Pass, a high-altitude mountain route infamous for having harsh conditions.

Here’s what the Royal Enfield Himalayan Mana Black Edition offers to its would-be buyers.

Rugged design, purposeful upgrades

The Mana Black Edition immediately sets itself apart from other Royal Enfield Himalayan trims with its exclusive body color.

It wears a deep Stealth Black finish with matte detailing that captures the rugged spirit of Mana Pass and, according to the brand’s local arm, embodies minimalism, purpose, and raw adventure.

Aside from that, the latest flagship of the local Himalayan lineup is fitted with adventure-ready components as standard namely:

• Black Rally handguards
• Black Rally seat
• Rally mudguard
• Black tubeless wire-spoked wheels

Proven Sherpa 450 engine

Despite the visual updates, the Himalayan Mana Black Edition retains the proven Sherpa 450 engine — a 452cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, four-valve, double overhead cam, gasoline-fed powerplant with ride-by-wire technology and dual-purpose capability.

The mill, which is paired with a six-speed gearbox, has the capability to produce:

Maximum output (in horsepower)	39.47
Peak torque (in Newton-meters)	40

Other amenities that can be seen in the Royal Enfield Himalayan Mana Black Edition are:     

• Four-inch round digital screen with phone connectivity and full map navigation
• USB Type-C charging port
• Ride modes

Tech, features for modern adventurers

Further, the motorcycle is equipped with a four-inch round digital display with phone connectivity and full-map navigation, a USB Type-C charging port, and multiple ride modes.

Stability and control are guaranteed by ventilated disc brakes with dual-channel anti-lock braking system (ABS), paired with an upside-down front fork and a rear mono-shock suspension setup.

On paper, the motorcycle measures:

Overall dimensions (length, width, height, in millimeters [mm>)	2,245 x 852 x 1,316
Wheelbase (in mm)	1,510
Ground clearance (in mm)	230
Fuel capacity (in liters)	17
Payload (in kilograms)	198
Seat height (in mm)	810-840

Built for anywhere, anytime

“The Royal Enfield Himalayan has been one of the most versatile motorcycles in our stable. It is a perfect example of fulfilling a rider's dreams. It is absolutely purpose-made, its single purpose is to do superbly well in unpredictable terrain and weather conditions. The motorcycle has been designed to be the absolute best in the world to do that job. It is ‘the one’ motorcycle that you will need for any purpose, anywhere in the world; because if it can traverse the Himalayas, it can traverse anything in the world,” said Royal Enfield Business Head for Asia Pacific Markets Manoj Gajarlawar.

“In the Philippines, the Himalayan has been amongst the top selling motorcycles in the country and has a thriving community. We are confident that the Mana Black variant will offer a stylish choice for discerning riders here in the country,” he added.

Lower price

Lastly, the biggest surprise in the Royal Enfield Himalayan Mana Black Edition is the pricing. This version can be had for P365,000 — lower than the previous top-of-the-line Premium variant with tubeless tires, which retailed at P369,000.

For reference, the previous Himalayan lineup were being retailed at the following price points:
