- Two loops, endless learning: Challenge & Navigation routes for real-world skills.
Introduction – More Than Just a Ride
Royal Enfield is inviting Himalayan riders to trade city traffic for dirt trails with Himalayan Spirit, an all-new curated off-road experience. Kicking off on September 14, 2025, at the world-famous BigRock Dirt Park in Kolar, Karnataka, the event is designed to help riders overcome the mental and technical barriers of adventure motorcycling. It’s not about clocking the fastest lap — it’s about learning the skills and mindset to take on any terrain, with confidence and control.
The Concept – Lowering the Barriers to Off-Road Riding
Adventure riding can be intimidating, especially for those who’ve never left the tarmac. Himalayan Spirit aims to bridge that gap by offering a safe, structured training environment where riders can learn and practice at their own pace. The philosophy is simple: “The only thing you have to do to go up is show up.”
The Format – Two Loops, One Goal
Participants will take on two distinct routes:
- The Challenge Loop:
Packed with technical sections, obstacle courses, and tight turns, this loop is where you’ll sharpen your bike control and learn how to handle tricky terrain. - The Navigation Loop:
A curated trail where you’ll practice route-finding, GPS skills, and decision-making on the fly — essential for real-world adventure riding.
Both loops emphasize hands-on learning, giving you a mix of controlled challenges and natural trail experience.
Team Spirit & Giving Back
It’s not just about individual skills. Himalayan Spirit includes team-building activities that promote rider camaraderie and highlight Royal Enfield’s ethos of “leave every place better.” That means respecting nature, helping fellow riders, and ensuring that the spirit of adventure comes with responsibility.
The Machine – Himalayan 450 in Action
The star of the event is Royal Enfield’s Himalayan 450 — powered by the brand-new 452cc liquid-cooled Sherpa engine, tuned for strong low-end torque and smooth ride-by-wire throttle. The six-speed gearbox makes long rides more relaxed, while its adaptable chassis and suspension setup mean it feels at home both on rocky climbs and twisty mountain roads.
