Royal Enfield Himalayan 822 – sounds magical doesn’t it? just double of what two himalayans would add up to. Well, here is where it gets interesting. A motorcycle that has set many a WhatsApp and every other social networking forum on fire – the Parallel Twin Himalayan 822. The complexity of this build lies in its simplicity of its design.

Himalayan 822 – The How:
“The Fusion”
Auto Engina hasn’t used an existing Royal Enfield engine like the 650cc. Fusing a twin-cylinder from The 650 Twins and boring them cumulatively easy. Instead, they took two BS3 Himalayan 411cc cylinder heads and fused them into one single set up. It then reworked the internals to make it a parallel twin motor.
“Crank it”
Hence, the two pistons have been mounted to a custom-built crankshaft and the stroke cycle is set to a 180-degree firing order. Even the valves over each cylinder head have had to be redesigned and therefore operate on a custom built camshaft. It still retains a five-speed gearbox though.
“BS 3 Returns”
Big engine means increase in thermal outputs, hence, the Himalayan 822 has been given the larger oil cooler borrowed straight from the Royal Enfield 650cc twins. Furthermore, as both engines are from the BS3 era, the fueling is still carbureted (twin stock carbs). The Engine build is followed with fitting it inside the frame. After all, with the newly added weight and form factor there would need more room. Add to this, more reinforcements to ensure that the motorcycle is able to take on the forces of nature.
“Just 90?”
All in all the entire process from sourcing to prototyping and finally firing up the engine took them 1.5 months. In the meanwhile Autologue design started working on the renders to get the design of the new yet “stock looking” motorcycle in place.
