Royal Enfield has launched a new variant of the Himalayan 450 at Motoverse 2025. Called the Himalayan Mana Black, it is priced at ₹3.37 lakh, ex-showroom. For reference, the base Himalayan 450 is priced at ₹3.05 lakh, while the Hanle Black costs ₹3.20 lakh, both ex-showroom. The Himalayan Mana Black is named after the Mana pass, one of the world’s highest passes that is quite difficult to traverse.
The Mana Black is a factory accessorised variant, and has a distinct matte black look that Royal Enfield calls ‘Stealth Black’. The blacked-out look extends to the engine, forks, and tubeless spoke rims as well. It is equipped with rally hand guards, the rally seat that is an option on the other variants, and a high front mudguard. The Mana Black is intended as an offroad-ready variant of the Himalayan 450 range, but there are no mechanical differences between it and the other variants.
