If you follow us here at RideApart, you know that Executive Editor, Jonathon Klein, is obsessed with Royal Enfield's Himalayan and its endless capabilities, especially considering its $5,799 base price. The brand launched the Himalayan Mana Black Edition at EICMA 2025 to mark its 125-year anniversary, and this unit appears to be more capable than ever.
The Mana Black Edition is a variant of the existing Himalayan, and the first thing that you'll notice is its distinctive dark paint scheme. It's essentially a black and gray color scheme that forms mountainous tones and represents the Mana Pass, which is located in northern India at 18,478 feet above sea level, and from which the bike takes its name.
But pay attention to the extras that make this bike even better than the base model for long-distance traveling.
