Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 owners in India have access to a wider set of Acerbis aftermarket accessories. For riders who actually use the motorcycle beyond normal city runs, these accessories will aide rugged trail use. Range includes a 23-litre fuel tank, X-Power engine case protectors, a skid plate, handguards and a chain guide. Prices listed by Indian suppliers currently start at Rs. 6,370 for the Acerbis chain guide up to the larger 23-litre fuel tank is listed at Rs. 43,499.

The standard Himalayan 450 already has decent touring ability, but a larger 23-litre Acerbis fuel tank will further add to your long-distance abilities. For riders crossing remote parts of Ladakh, Spiti, Rajasthan, the Northeast or forest trails where fuel stops are not always close, extra capacity will be great help. The Acerbis tank is made from polyethylene to keep it light and comes with an Acerbis cap, breather tube and mounting kit. ReiseMoto is offering the tank at Rs. 43.5k inclusive of taxes and mentions that it is designed for better resistance to impact and scratches.

The Acerbis skid plate is meant to protect the underside of the engine from stones, rocks and hard trail hits. Listed around Rs. 15k by multiple suppliers, this will support the Himalayan 450’s engine and lower frame area for abuse on broken trails. Acerbis’ X-Power engine protection kit covers the side crankcase area. It protects the engine cases directly from scrapes and impact for when you drop the motorcycle on trails or ride through narrow rocky paths. Pricing lingers around Rs. 7k.

Acerbis X-Factory handguards for the Himalayan 450 are closed-style handguards meant to protect the rider’s hands and levers from stones, branches, wind and minor falls. These will set you back around Rs. 10k from different sources. The chain guide is the least expensive part in this Acerbis set listed at Rs. 6,370. It is meant to help keep the chain better aligned under stress. Although a lot of these parts are available from Royal Enfield’s accessory list as well, but remember Acerbis is a premium part manufacturer with Italian craftsmanship and a great balance between everyday usability and superior off-road ruggedness.
