Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Gets Updated Side Stand With Reduced Lean

India’s iconic two-wheeler brand Royal Enfield has updated the side stand of the Himalayan 450 motorcycle in India. According to multiple media reports this revised component is now available through authorised service centres and is priced at Rs 3,250. While reports indicate that the 2026 model will come equipped with the new unit, the company has not issued a formal confirmation yet.

The earlier side stand design positioned the motorcycle at a sharper lean angle when parked. With a kerb weight of 196kg, bringing the bike upright required added effort, especially on uneven or inclined surfaces.

The updated side stand features a straighter construction, allowing the motorcycle to rest in a more upright stance. The change is intended to improve ease of use during parking and while lifting the motorcycle off the stand.

Current Himalayan 450 owners can opt for the updated part via authorised Royal Enfield workshops. Availability may vary across locations, and some centres may require the component to be ordered in advance. Installation charges could be applicable.

There are also indications that the 2026 model may receive a revised chain timing tensioner aimed at addressing engine ticking noise. Owners seeking clarity on compatibility are advised to contact their nearest service centre.

The Himalayan 450 is powered by a 451cc liquid-cooled Sherpa engine delivering 39.5bhp at 8,000rpm and 40Nm of torque at 5,500rpm. It is paired with a six-speed gearbox and a slip-and-assist clutch.

Royal Enfield offers the Himalayan 450 with a price tag of Rs 3.06 lakh for the Kaza Brown variant and Rs 3.37 lakh for the Mana Black edition (both prices are ex-showroom).
