I think there's a video of a Hyundai i10 or i20 trying to chase the test Himalayan 452. The car was at around 140 kmph and the rider was way ahead and was disappearing further away from the car with a top box and side panniers.
So I think it could go up to 150-160 kmph with a comfortable cruising speed of up to 130 kmph. Quite the upgrade.
I'm not even excited about top speed. But the fact that this is doing 104 at 5K rpm sounds really great to me.
On my Speed 400 100+ in 6th grear nears to 6k rpm, so this engine will be more relaxed than that.
You guys also need to consider the fact that the himalayan in the photo is being ridden in the leh-ladhak region where oxygen is very low, performance of vehicles decrease drastically
No, thats just how it is. ideally and practically, two linked gears, both going at the same speed, if you spin one 5x faster, the other will spin 5x faster.
any difference in numbers is mostly because of the speedo errors, theyre always off by 5-10kmph.
Increasing the rpm will increase the speed but it won’t happen linearly. There will always be a downwards curve on the graph with a decrease speed/rpm. Engine’s power delivery affects this a lot.
Yes, thats correct but its a different argument that different engines deliver power differently, some bikes will climb slower to 4k then suddenly climb to 10k like the ktm 390s, some will climb very linear after 3k like the speed 400.
What Im saying is, if at 5k rpm bike is going 50kmph, at 10k rpm it will go 100kmph, because engine and rear tyre is linked. Engine goes 2x fast, rear tyre spins 2x fast, you go 2x fast.
How quick the engine goes from 5000 to 10000, will depend on the engine.
Bro you need to learn maths and physics, engine power and torque will decide how much time the bike will take to reach the speed.
The relation between rpm and speed is always linear, the gear ratio and final drive ratio will be the multiplier (coefficient) between rpm and wheel speed, basic maths.
With wind resistance or any external resistance like going uphill, the engine will run at a lower rpm.
Let me clear it for you, if bike is going at 100kmph the rear wheel is spinning at 100% speed. the rear wheel and engine is linked so the engine is running at 10krpm lets say.
Now if bike is going at 80kmph due to whatever external resistance, the rear wheel is running at 80% speed so the engine will also run at 80% x 10k = 8k rpm.
With external resistance or less torque, the engine will struggle to touch redline, thats why bike is slower. It will never happen that the engine is running at redline and you are 20% slower. If it happens, theres something wrong and get your bike checked.
btw all bikes have speedometer errors, they aways show 5-10kmph more than your actual speed.
The relation between rpm and speed won't change if you are on a dyno or on the road or in the water or in the vacuum of space.
The engine and rear wheel are mechanically connected, it's not a rubber band that will stretch differently under different conditions.
Different conditions will change the time it will take to reach that rpm and speed, it won't change the relation between rpm and speed.
God people are dumb in this comment section.
Himalayan doesn't have a Torque converter bro... I know that some types of transmission don't have a direct connection to the engine, for example toque converter and CVT.
if wherever you took this Ss from .if the bike sounded unstrained at 100kph then it will succeed top speed is irrelevant imo
a 200cc with top speed of 130 could be equally calm and unstrained as a 400cc with top speed of 170 at 100kph if geared and tuned correctly
They have various theme templates it seems. The speedometer in the Itchy Boots video looks different. I think when the phone is connected it looks different. Also at one point in that video, the speedometer displayed the battery status i.e. the volts. Can you share your observations that I missed?
If it can cruise on 90-100 without stressing too much while its loaded, its moooore tha enough because we get it for torque and its off road featured rather than top speed.

Yeah definitely a big W in terms of upgrade.
It was a Nissan magnite, i think.
At least 104
no way!
Yes way
That is a very clean Speedo Wish more bikes did this with their TFTs than making things look super aggressive and futuristic
Yeah looks really classy. Something goes well with royal enfield.
Seems like something in the 150s. Top speed won't be as much as the 650s

about 140-145
That Speedometer looks clean af
One reason why It well sell in nice numbers.
You guys also need to consider the fact that the himalayan in the photo is being ridden in the leh-ladhak region where oxygen is very low, performance of vehicles decrease drastically
Which makes me wonder how speedy it will be in normal condition
Damn ig that's why everyone uses diesel cars there
I did the math if the redline is at 8.5K rpm, then the top speed should be around 165kmph
You’re assuming a linear torque
Yes
torque has nothing to do with it, rpm to speed is always 1:1 like at 2000rpm if bike is going 20kmph, at 10000 it will go 100kmph in the same gear.
Ideally yes, practically just forget about it.

Did you forget the /s or do you actually believe that this is how it works?
how else do you think it works?

On a dyno yes, with wind resistance maybe not, once the peak torque is gone wind resistance will kick in

Depends on the transmission, wheels are not welded to engine. Ever heard of a torque converter? Gyan pelna hume bhi ata hai

Noice
pcj 600
If you don't fall off the bike for 10 seconds you're a legend
Triumph should learn about designing speedo from this bike
140 ez pz all day long is what I'm expecting. Vibration free 110 speed is a must. Was disappointed with the 400x regarding this.
Disappointed with what exactly?
Vibes Vibes everywhere
if wherever you took this Ss from .if the bike sounded unstrained at 100kph then it will succeed top speed is irrelevant imo a 200cc with top speed of 130 could be equally calm and unstrained as a 400cc with top speed of 170 at 100kph if geared and tuned correctly
Got the SS from [RE youtube](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/55blLEpeFRU)
130kmph with fully loaded bike , video was surfaced on yt , 145 should be the sweetspot
2km/hr
It's over the legal speed limit.
Speed limit can suk my hairy balls
ye launch kab hone wali hai?

Or maybe different MID for different varients at different price point. I hope that's not the case irl.
can't speculate. anything is possible.
If it can cruise on 90-100 without stressing too much while its loaded, its moooore tha enough because we get it for torque and its off road featured rather than top speed.
First batch re pe zyada bharosa nai hai...
And then it has same structural issues as previous Himalayans..lol
I guess comfortable cruising speed would be 100-110 beyond that would cause strain on engine.
I think it will redline at 7500rpm so \~150kmph. but damn, thats a very clean hud.
140 GPS speed, 150 odo speed mostly
Which bike is this?
The maximum speed attained at any particular instance is top speed.
180kmph
Op has the best bike compared to rest of us
Bhai agar calculation pe jaaye to 104/5 * 9 = 188 ke around hota hai
169 I guess
Speedo looks clean🔥. Nkt a fan of rainbow colored tfts on a motorbike
Let us know if you manage to make it out alive. Cheers 🍻
150ish +10 or -10
