A new version of the Himalayan from Royal Enfield is being designed, dubbed D4G. According to reports, this new bike will go by the name Himalayan 440. The company intends to expand this line further, and an updated model called the Himalayan 750 and an electric Himalayan could hit the market soon.

It has been reported that the new Himalayan 440 will have parts used by the existing Himalayan 411 bike, while using the engine from the Scram 440. The Scram 440 is currently Royal Enfield's only bike in the 440cc category. The new Himalayan 440 might turn out to be more affordable in this range.

The Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 was known for its simplicity and robustness, and the new Himalayan 440 is expected to follow the same principle. Royal Enfield may keep it simple and straightforward. It could include features like switchable ABS and Tripper Navigation, similar to the Scram 440, while removing more expensive features like ride-along and traction control.

In terms of hardware, the Himalayan 440 is expected to be largely similar to the Scram 440. This means it could feature a 443cc, single-cylinder, air/oil-cooled engine paired with a 6-speed gearbox. Its performance is also expected to be similar to the Scram, generating around 25.4 hp and 34 Nm of torque.

In comparison, the old Himalayan 411 came with a 5-speed gearbox and produced 24.3 hp and 32 Nm of torque.

The bike's frame is expected to remain the same, but it could feature longer suspension for improved off-roading. The old Himalayan 411 offered 190mm of front and 180mm of rear travel. The new Himalayan 440 is expected to feature 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels shod with tubeless tires.
