- Hello,
I had the privilege of meeting and having a chat with Ben, who is the Engine Lead for the Himalayan 450 project. Ben and his team were responsible for developing this Sherpa 450 engine that powers the new Himalayan 450.
So, who better than to hear it direct from the man himself about this wonderful journey from the drawing board to Himalayan road. Technically inclined riders will enjoy this video.
Cheers!

Siddharth lal absolutely nailed the team that they've got for RE now. From the engineers to media, everyone's absolutely elevated the brand to a another level.

@@bigbearbangaloreSir ,I recently took a Himalayan 411 cc .from the day 1 ride the engine of the bike gets heated up ,and gives a bad smell of heat flames . Does this has any solution??
The showrooms dealer said after 500kms driven ,and of 1st service it will sorted out...pls give me a correct note on it
@@Parveez-xg5di same problem faced with My KTM ... this May be due to Oil leak over engine or poor coolant supply....( Radiator fiction) for my bike they said it is due to Oil heated over engine ( though little bit but enough to produce smell and heat. Better wash your bike thoroughly and clean the engine with brush might help... otherwise wait for first service.
@@Parveez-xg5diThat is the new engine breaking in. Most RE's have that smell. It will go away after 200 to 300 km.
Wow never expect RE would openly discuss such in-depth technicality to the public. Thanks for sharing, this will make the true enthusiast to appreciate their bike even further.
👍
Bcos it's no nuclear secret anymore.... lot of other competition in the market now
This is what I call a classy video. Brought back my engineering days memories. Bosky got none other than the Lead Engineer of the new 452cc engine. Anybody can talk about the bike's new looks and features. Bosky raised the bar and took the discussion to a much higher level. I love his technical bend of mind. Only a true rider/engineer would go to those details to know and love his machine. I say it again, this bike channel is world class level. I say this with full confidence with spending one-third my life in US working on cutting edge technology as an engineer. Hats off to Bosky Babu.
🙏🙏🙏
Couldn't agree more! None of the other biking media publications covered these interesting technical details! Thanks for this bigbearbangalore!
I really appreciate the efforts in making these videos. As someone who studied automobile engineering watching these videos makes me feel like I’m back in the classroom again!
👍👍👍
Same goes with me 😅
i dont understand your point, did you left the domain after studying auto engg?
Same pinch
i think this is tje first time ever in a youtube Chanel, describes the whole engineering by it's own designer..... That is the right way to tell something perfectly about something by its creator.... thanks for the video
🙏🙏🙏
Yep, if you watch a video from Triumph by comparison everything is super dumbed down. Hearing the engineer talk through the benefits of a dry sump for example highlights so many elements in engine design a common consumer wouldn't even think about - I wouldn't and I have an engineering degree!
@Geshmaal 👍🙏
As an engineer myself and a bike ethusiast i find this video very helpful rather than jus reading the specsheet which most others do which we could easily find online. Also it was almost in layman terms so many could understand better. I look forward for much detailed videos in future too and thanks for putting the efforts and making such wonderful video
Glad it was helpful!
Using offset rear shocks and moving the battery and the air box seems to have created a narrower profile for the rider seat. The torque curve also seems really interesting. Would really love to ride this and see for myself. I would love to see a reduced NVH level for the engine.
👍
Oh my god, this looks like the Goldilocks ADV that none of the other manufacturers would dare to make! Well done team and well presented, looking forward to a test ride soon
👍👍👍
What an amazing interview, no interruption from the interviewer, I loved this, You sir have my utmost respect 😇🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏
A Biker who's confused BTW Duke390 or the new Himalayan, he would probably go for Himalayan after watching his presentation. Good Job 👍
👍
Wow the engine technology like dlc coating , semi dry sump and forged pistons are crazy.
It feels like i am watch a video about some japanese or ktm engine.
Btw Great video sir.
My thoughts exactly
I’m a little blown away. Very impressive engineering.
🙏
Bravo! deux interviews complets et bien détaillés et des questions intéressantes que tu as posées. Merci de France
Merci.
I can say happily that this engine is wonderfully designed and by some of the best in the world. Thank you for giving us the honour to get to hear from the very designers of the engine! This alone speaks volumes about the level of trust and endeavour RE have put into the machine.
I am only waiting for the launch. I am getting this bike!😊
Thank you very much!
Thanks to RE team for letting each and every CZcamsr go through the presentation and explanation!
👍
A yes from me. Thanks 👍
A good example ,
Engineers should be given the lime light to show how much efforts they have put into the product they design.
Engineers like Ben will inspire the next generation of engineers.
Appreciate the content and welcome more of it.
Well said. Thanks.
Very interesting. I ride a Royal Enfield 411 Himalayan from 2021 and I like it, but also Royal Enfield with its mix of British and Indian engineers and the improved production in India. Thanks for this video. Sven from Sweden
🙏
Videos like this relieves my stress at the end of the day....god bless engines and people who make them ....
🙏
Love the ❤ two episodes on HIMALAYAN 450 & have no words other than "THANK YOU" from "BOTTOM OF MY HEART".
🙏🙏🙏
I thoroughly enjoy these kind of videos! Make one for the frame, suspension and electronics too!
Thanks. That was not possible, sorry.
Really really appreciate your efforts and thought of making this video. This gave us lot of knowledge and insight. The questions you asked were spot on. Gave more knowledge. Your USP of providing knowledge and helping the biking community. Spot on!
Glad it was helpful!
I am impressed with the new technology that is on the bike. It seems that the Himalayan has been completely updated from the ground up. I loved the fact that the lead engine engineer explained things. Very informative video.
Glad you liked it.
Wow... I am sooooo glad you asked the right questions... something that most "reviewers" often forget... Idk.. I really wanted to know the svc intervals.. and most importantly the valve clearance checks... 10k seems like a reasonable number...
This is the kind of content I pay my internet bill for 😁🤙
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Of all the contents on Himalayan, the contents that u have been putting out is absolute gold 👍👍👍👍👍 can't wait for the big 'Hello' on 10th I guess ??!!?
🙏🙂
A very detailed explanation of the engine by the creator of the engine. I don't think anybody has done that. Excellent.👍his would make me buy this motorbike. Good for city as well as touring.
Happy to hear this. Thanks & cheers!
Engine design as a subject is an art!
👍
Ah!! there he comes with the heart.. Awesome info Dr bossky!! Kudos🎉 to RE research and development team,, they knew what they were building!! It will break the markets for sure....
Yes! Thank you!
Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful🎉🎉🎉
. This is the content one should look for, not just Bhp, top speeed, by road side so called reviewers.
Thanks a lot 😊
Thank you for the wonderful video. Though I'm riding RE since 1991 and at present I do have 2021 Himalayan and GS 310 2022 but I'm desperately waiting for this 452 and have already put my booking and now waiting for black and gold colour. Big thumbs up to the new RE team for this wonderful machine...
👍🙏
I like the way the designer of the engine is explaining on the different improvements. The alternator is spot on for ADV riding, when adding heated grips and clothing.
👍
Thank you for such a detailed video.
Himalayan 411 was a market changer and now it looks like Himalayan 450 is also going to be another market changer.
👍
This video is so awesome. So much knowledge i gather today and also glad to know that himalayan is improving day by day. Sir i respect you for your work and i wish that you will share this type of knowledge in future also. Lots of love from Kolkata.....❤❤❤
🙏
This is what I was searching for... thank you so much sir.. love you..🎉
Most welcome 😊
Very good information. Started following this channel not so long ago but maaaaannnnn in love with all the info that you give. Even the reels are great.
I appreciate that! Thanks.
This is 100x better than what channels like power drift put out. Nothing like older folks talking bikes! Meanwhile, 418 W stator sounds really good! Any estimate of how much is surplus?
Thanks. No idea on that.
Very good interview with straight facts and no marketing - but at the same time very down to earth and explained very well for non-engineers.
Indeed. Thanks.
Really love the no bs marketing approach taken in these tents and love the technical aspect of it even though I didn't fully understand all of it
👍
Really appreciate this clip thank you to you both. God Bless.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Really awesome post sir.. I am sure everyone who was waiting to know about the Himalayan is now happy. Nothing less was expected from you.. Awesome.
Thanks a ton.
Thanks again for bringing such an informative video sir.. it's amazing to see RE leaping to the serious performance engineering based products 🙌
🙏
Recently discovered your channel... Love the biking tips... Keep em coming
Thanks, will do!
Thank you for this lovely video. Loved every technical bit of it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for creating such an detailed content... All the technical details we want about this new RE engine..❤
My pleasure.
A great informative video. Thanks. Really looking forward to this bike, the unicorn for all road bikes.
👍
Love listening to the design engineering behind this Sherpa engine. Thanks Ben for such a great presentation. I'm excited for this engine...would love to see it in a really good scrambler.
👍
One of the finest informative videos out there. I just love your work sir on instagram a lot. Short but perfectly informative things.
The best video for me was how to check if the rear ABS is working or not. Keep making good videos sir.
Glad it was helpful!
I click on every ad that shows up on videos you put out. Thanks much for your efforts. Especially these 2 videos on RE Himalayan
So nice of you. 🙂🙏
I've just ordered one. I'm finding the knowledge and passion for the brand inspiring. I look forward to seeing how good this is.
Hope you enjoy it!
Really interesting details! And very relevant questions as well. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Initially sceptical about the video length but totally loved the details provided in the video. Thanks for bringing such detailed video on the engine directly from the lead designer. ❤😊
Glad you liked it!
Big news on the valve check interval, it's now much closer to what you'd expect from a Japanese bike. I would perhaps have asked what efforts have been made with regards to ease of access to the air filter. In the 411 you just needed to pop off the side panel, with the 450 potentially having to remove the tank is a more significant undertaking, if Enfield has integrated some kind of "lifted tank" position that a lot of Hondas have for example that would be great.
Yes!
Excellent explanation and informative question asked. Thanks once again for informative session with Ben. Personally thanks to Bosky and team.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome..straight from the head..simple and to the point..so much thanks..rgds
Glad it was helpful!.
Definitely 👍 technical information direct from the designer is always 1st hand information. 😊
Yes, true
This bike is just crafted... meticulously crafted.. Brilliant classroom session..
👍
Fabulous video, such interesting angles and insight into the creative thought and action of Royal Enfield,I owned the original bike and loved it, a true original no other like it.
This new bike is very exciting and I'm so lucky to have ordered one.
Having the insight from this video only makes it more appealing.
Thankyou very much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
At last someone talked about ENGINE PARTS LITTLE BIT.😊
👍
Great to know about the Engine directly from the Lead.
Thank you Bosky for bringing this up for us.
As an enthusiast it is great to know about this engine which is now as per the industry standards. Few things I liked about the engine is:
1. It has good torque in even low range, so gear shift is not much or a concern as well as the engine stalling.
2. This is using direct action camshafts, so no frequent tappet adjustment, only once in 10K kms.
3. Cruising should be stressful now and overtaking in 5th gear should be more fun and confident.
🙏👍🙌
Its 2.30am and my eyes are wide open 😀 Beautifully explained. I wish engineering lectures be like this 😅
Thank you so much .
Very insightful and informative. Those questions I had have all been answered.
Thank you for this video.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the amazing in depth content.
🙏
Excellent video, many thanks for putting out a very technical content. Not surprising that RE has brought down the oil grade from 15w50 to 10w40 owing to valve train changes. Hope the owners keep this in mind instead of going overboard 😊.
Thank you!
I’m not sure the grade has changed as much as the viscosity. Tighter clearances require a less viscous oil. Is RE recommending or requiring full synthetic?
@clintselby5035 semi-synthetic is what's suggested.
Appreciate it. Learnt much of this beautiful engine.
Great to hear!
Another superb compilation! You thought the questions well...
Thanks a lot!
This shows what an experienced rider/technician's content would be, great work sir. Unlike newbies who doesn't even know what tyre pressure should be for their own bikes but will review and perform top speed runs abuse test bikes, sadly that group out runs the original content creators...
Love the efforts please enlighten us always 😊 ofcourse now we can buy re stocks too😅
🙏🙏🙏
Sin duda estará entre los favoritos de los aventureros, felicitaciones!!!! Saludos desde Argentina
Thank you!
So my friend has a Speed 400 its very fun to ride pocket rocket, one thing i wish it had was low end torque and looking at the graph i am really excited for this vehicle and upcoming RE vehicles with Sherpa 450 engines. This engine and gearbox ticks all the boxes hopefully I'll be able to buy one in the future..... thanks for the video for geeks like me 🥂
Take a test ride when available to know more.
@@bigbearbangaloreYup, will take a test ride, thanks a lot for the video!
very interesting. sounds like a winner engine design
👍
Much needed video. Ty 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Quality content sir. Your review is what i am looking forward too.
Much appreciated!
We need this kind of Content. Thanks a tonne
🙏
Wow such a lovely video and informative ! Sir you videos are making me fall in love again !
Thank you so much 😀
Right on. I'm excited about this bike
👍
This was needed thanks for efforts 🎉
No problem 👍
i understand now why you didn't speak about the engine with Lorenzo in your previous video. It is a completely different engine from 411. the torque is amazingly improved. can't wait to test it.
👍
Sir, really enjoying these series of informative videos. Sometime back you had made a Wishlist video on this bike. Would like to see a video where you discuss how many of your wishes came true. Also any news on the Scram version of this machine for lesser mortals like me.
Will do soon!!! 😀
Awesome videos. Good enough for me to lodge my deposit on a 452 at my local dealer in Noosa Qld today! Delivery early next year I’m supposing.
Good luck!
Perfectly Explained Video about motorcycle. Thank you sir. ❤
🙏👍
very sound technical person, and sensible questions too
🙏👍
Just one word "EXCELLENT"
🙏👍
Really great stuff, love your videos!
Glad you like them!
Thanks Ben for giving us Great Machine❤
You bet!
Great product! Can't wait to see it in Indonesia
👍
The way you say "Hello" is so nice 🙂😊
Long live ❤
Thank you! 😃
Waiting for 450 scram and 450 retro with the lightest 160-170 kgs for short rider. Keeping RE one of my favourite two wheeler
👍
Great video. Hope this is a big success for them.
Hope so!
In contrast to other reviewers, we got to know more about the practical and technical aspect of the bike without even showing the bike (for the most part) in this video. Good Work ! 👍👍
Thank you.
Awesome......very descriptive...thank you
You're most welcome.
Another top class video. Well done.🌟
Glad you enjoyed it
Absolute gold information, thanks for this.
Subbed to your channel.
Thanks for the sub!
really good info video without unnecessary flashy music and transitions etc
Glad you liked it!
This is outstanding info! Thanks! 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks a lot for nice vide, loveed this
Glad you liked it.
Sir, thank you for demonstarting the art of listening🙏
🙂🙏
Great video. Thanks 🇦🇺
Glad you enjoyed it
Great , i like how they brought improvements. Glad i was able to work with supplier company for RE when the speedometers developed for meteor and classic. Regarding this , each time of service , tank has to be removed like every other bike now. Hope service guys dont mess up this.
👍🙏
🙏👍
Your channel is totally underrated. Love from Kerala❤❤❤
Thank you so much .
Very interesting. Thank you! :-)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Boski , thanks for the ocean of information.
I think dry sump.also helps in too steep Inclines,declines and sudden braking,wherein normal wet sump bikes the oil level is affected at the suction point.
I do have doubts about the treated Aluminium bore 🤔. Even Aluminium pistons have steel reinforced grooves .Steel is stronger no doubt.
Thanks for the info.
Amazing work. Thank you ❤
Thank you too!
Wonderful, Just wanted to know more about the Water / liquid cooling system, how is the circuit ( similar to duke/ dominor ish ) , or this is something different in running the coolant pump... rest are nicely covered in this interview. Big Thumbsup 👍
🙏👍
