Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 - Fork Testing


The dyno backs up what we felt on the trails; there isn't enough compression damping up front. Factory forks are often tuned with a generalised "one size fits all" setting that's weighted for tarmac beginners, so it blows straight through to the bump stop when it's pushed on dirt. We're designing a new comp piston and shim stack to help give a true 'adventure spec' - something that is capable offroad but still holds a little soft road compliance.
