The engine of the motorcycle is going to be a major attraction in the whole machine. Though the exact specifications of the engine have not been revealed yet, chances are that the motorcycle will get a new engine. It is expected to be a 450 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine. It might be tuned to churn out around 45 hp of power and a similar torque figure. The engine will be working with a 6-speed gearbox.


With these changes, the price of the Royal Enfield 450 is expected to increase quite a bit. The ongoing model of the motorcycle is priced at Rs 2.16 lakh (ex-showroom) which might be bumped up to somewhere around Rs 2.50 lakh.
