Royal Enfield Himalayan Mana Black Edition:Royal Enfield has long been synonymous with character, heritage, and pure adventure.
In 2025, the brand expanded its Himalayan family with a bold new variant—the Himalayan Mana Black Edition.
Unveiled at Motoverse 2025 in Goa after a global debut at EICMA 2025, this isn’t just a cosmetic touch-up.
It’s a rally-inspired machine, built to dominate highways, mountain passes, and wild terrain—all while paying tribute to one of India’s toughest routes: Mana Pass. 🏔️🔥
🏔️✨ Inspired by the Roof of the World
The name comes from Mana village near the Indo-Tibetan border and the iconic Mana Pass, known for brutal altitudes and unforgiving terrain.
Royal Enfield channels this raw spirit into the Mana Black Edition, giving the Himalayan:

- 🪑 Flatter, taller rally seat (860 mm) for easier standing on pegs
