This is the newest version of the Royal Enfield 450 Himalayan; Almost double the horsepower, water cooled, 6 speed. Frankly, there are very few things that carried over - it's a new bike, and it's great! This is the ideal bike to tour Joshua Tree National Park on (we're only 10 minutes from the park entrance), or perhaps a full day trip to Anza Borrego? It's very capable and comfortable bike to ride! Please note; If you decide to ride off-road, there is a lot of deep and loose sand in the desert, so you had better know your abilities, as it's a whole different thing than street riding. Even with real experience, it's very easy to drop a bike, or crash it. Off pavement riding requires real skill and experience. You will be held responsible for any and all damage caused during your rental period!
