The British dealership Cooperb Motorcycles has launched an improved version of the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, called the Phantom, which transforms the entry-level adventure into a machine more prepared for trails and off-road competitions. The package includes several bolt-on modifications focused on protection, autonomy and performance on uneven terrain. The bike demonstrated its effectiveness by taking victory in the Big Bike Single class during the Valleys X-Treme Lite, held in January at South Wales.
The Phantom maintains the accessible essence of the Himalayan 450, but receives upgrades that make it more robust for intensive use off the asphalt. Cooperb, specializing in Royal Enfield, offers the complete package from £10,299, which includes the base bike and changes. Clientes can further customize specifications as needed.
Protections and enlarged tank for greater durability
The Phantom incorporates components from the Acerbis to reinforce rider and motorcycle safety in impacts. Handguards protect hands from branches and falls, while top guards on the forks prevent damage from rocks or debris.
Skid plate covers the engine and the bottom, chain guide keeps the chain aligned on rough terrain and mesh on the radiator prevents blockages. Essas additions make the bike more resistant without drastically altering its original appearance.
Greater autonomy and optimized riding position
The fuel tank goes from 17 to 23 liters with the Acerbis model, which significantly extends the range on long routes without refueling. Essa change is essential for remote adventures or endurance races.
Bar risers raise the handlebars for a more upright posture, pivot pegs facilitate control while standing and the rally seat improves the rider’s grip on jumps or uneven sections. Esses adjustments refine ergonomics for extreme conditions.
Engine and exhaust with performance improvements
The 452cc Sherpa engine gets a DNA Combo induction kit for better air intake and flow. The Fuel X Pro Plus programmer optimizes electronic injection and the full HP Corse exhaust system releases more power and a characteristic sound.
These modifications increase performance without compromising the reliability of the original propellant. The combination results in more agile response during acceleration and steep climbs.
Customized suspension for superior absorption
The rear suspension receives a custom Hagon shock absorber with preload and compression adjustments, allowing fine calibration for different weights and terrains. The K-Tech ProValve front kit option adds rebound control.
These components improve shock absorption and maintain stability at high speeds off-road. The bike becomes more composed on jumps and technical trails.
Final details and extra options for customization
Other changes include removing unnecessary fenders, rerouting hoses, and lightweight SM Pro wheels with 18-inch rear rims and knobby tires for maximum traction in the dirt. Essas choices reduce weight and increase agility.
The Phantom package demonstrates its effectiveness in the real field. Cooperb signed up three units to the Valleys X-Treme Lite in January, in the Glyn-Neath, South Wales region. One of them, driven by Jake Edey, won the Big Bike Single class by a margin of 51 seconds.
Victory in competition reinforces the credibility of the package
Participation in the enduro event highlighted the Phantom’s capacity in real race conditions. The riders faced demanding sections, with mud, rocks and steep climbs.
The result confirms that the modifications go beyond aesthetics and deliver proven performance. Cooperb delivers complete bikes to Reino Unido, with shipping options to Inglaterra and País from Gales.
Availability and values on the British market
The Phantom starts at £10,299 for basic configuration, rising to around £12,000 with all options. The value reflects premium parts and expert assembly.
