Royal Enfield’s popular adventure bike, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, has received a special upgraded version in the UK called the Phantom Edition. This version has been created by the UK-based dealership Cooperb Motorcycles and focuses on improving the motorcycle’s off-road capability with several bolt-on upgrades.
The Himalayan 450 Phantom Edition is priced between GBP 10,299 and GBP 12,000 (approximately Rs. 12.73 lakh to Rs. 14.83 lakh), depending on the optional components chosen by the buyer. Instead of major mechanical changes, the upgrade package mainly adds better suspension, improved protection parts, and performance accessories.
One of the main highlights of the Phantom package is the fully adjustable suspension setup. Buyers can choose upgraded rear monoshocks from Hagon or K-Tech, which offer adjustments for preload and compression damping. The K-Tech unit also adds rebound adjustment, allowing riders to fine-tune the suspension for different terrains. At the front, the bike can be fitted with a K-Tech ProValve kit that improves damping performance without replacing the standard forks.
The motorcycle continues to use the same 452cc engine, but a few upgrades help improve overall performance. These include a full-system exhaust from HP Corse, a DNA high-performance air intake, and a FuelX Pro Plus module.
Another important change is the larger 23-litre fuel tank, which replaces the standard 17-litre unit. The bigger tank comes from Acerbis and improves the bike’s long-distance touring capability. The bike also gets a rally-style seat from Royal Enfield, which is about 20mm taller than the standard seat.
Additional upgrades include stronger SM Pro wheel rims, a larger 18-inch rear wheel, handguards, engine case protection, and fork guards. With these modifications, the Phantom Edition is designed for riders who want a more capable and personalised adventure touring motorcycle.
