British dealership reveals Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Phantom edition

A new special edition Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 has been revealed, but not from the manufacturer itself, as British dealership Cooperb Motorcycles is behind the new model that features a starting price of £10,299. 

That’s a substantial £4,549 more than the standard model in a Kaza Brown colourway, which is priced at £5,750. It’s also £3,899 more than the new Mana Black edition, which costs £6,400 in the UK. 

But while that might seem like a steep price for the Cooperb Motorcycles-built Phantom edition, plenty has been done to the bike to perhaps justify why it’s more expensive, not to mention the RE dealer has race-winning pedigree using Himalayan 450 machinery behind it. 

Cooperb Motorcycles says it has “carefully chosen the very best parts to put together a bike that looks more aggressive and is actually more robust, lighter & better suited to Rally and hardcore adventure”.

The basic Phantom package offers the choice between a K-Tech or Hagon rear shock, both of which are believed to offer preload adjustment and compression damping adjustment. Additionally, Cooperb bar risers, Cooperb front hose relocation kit and front lower mudguard, plus pivot pegz are part of the setup.

There’s also plenty of parts from Acerbis, including the handguards, 23-litre tank, upper fork guards, short gaitors, chain guide, skid plate, X-Power engine cases, and lastly, the radiator mesh. A RE Rally Seat & Seat Unit is also featured. 

From there, Royal Enfield has kept the Himalayan 450’s 452cc single-cylinder Sherpa engine, although it has added a HP Corse Full Exhaust System, DNA Combo Induction Kit, and a Fuel X Pro Plus programmer.
