Confirmed Compatibility

Critical Himalayan Fitment Warning

Do not confuse NGAGE-018HIM450 with the older Himalayan / Scram air filter.

NGage Master Catalogue V4.9 separately lists:

• NGAGE-018HIM450: Himalayan 450 (Sherpa) / Guerrilla 450
• NGAGE-003HIM410: Himalayan 410 / Scram 411 / Scram 440

The motorcycles may share the Himalayan name, but the NGage filter part numbers are different. Order by the exact motorcycle generation and exact NGage SKU.

Four-Layer Surgical-Grade Cotton Gauze

NGage states that its Hyper Flow air filters use four layers of surgical-grade cotton gauze sandwiched between epoxy-coated aluminium mesh. The multi-layer construction is intended to balance freer airflow with filtration of incoming dust and debris.

Unlike a disposable paper element, the cotton-gauze design is intended to be washed, re-oiled and reused when maintained correctly.

Epoxy-Coated Aluminium Screen Mesh

The cotton-gauze filter media is supported by epoxy-coated aluminium screen mesh. The mesh provides structural support while retaining an open airflow path through the filter media.

Durable Urethane Frame

NGage specifies a durable urethane frame in its Hyper Flow construction. Correct frame seating is essential because all intake air should pass through the filter media rather than around a poorly seated filter.

Factory Pre-Oiled

The filter is supplied factory pre-oiled. NGage states that its special filter lubricant creates static attraction that helps trap dust particles down to approximately 5 microns.

After the filter has been cleaned, it must be correctly dried and re-oiled using a suitable oiled cotton-gauze filter recharge product before being returned to service.

99%+ Manufacturer Filtration Claim

NGage publishes a 99%+ filtering-efficiency claim for its Hyper Flow air-filter construction.

This is presented here as a manufacturer-published range claim. It should not be interpreted as an independent Under The Hood laboratory certification or an unconditional guarantee under every riding condition.

Up to 30% Increased Airflow – Product-Material Claim

Current NGage product material for NGAGE-018HIM450 is marketed with up to 30% increased airflow compared with the stock filter.

“Up to” is important. Actual airflow through the motorcycle's complete intake system depends on airbox design, filter condition, intake restrictions and the motorcycle's overall setup.

Performance Claim – Up to 1.0 BHP at the Wheels

For the exact NGAGE-018HIM450 application, NGage Master Catalogue V4.9 publishes a claimed performance increase of up to 1.0 BHP at the wheels.

This is a manufacturer “up to” performance claim, not a guaranteed dyno result. Actual measured gain can vary with motorcycle condition, ECU/fuelling, exhaust system, intake configuration, fuel quality, altitude, ambient temperature, tyre, dyno type and testing method.

Designed for the Himalayan 450 / Guerrilla 450 Application

NGage's catalogue does not treat this as a universal Royal Enfield performance filter. NGAGE-018HIM450 is the dedicated Hyper Flow application for the Himalayan 450 (Sherpa) and Guerrilla 450.

This exact-model approach is important because NGage publishes separate Hyper Flow filter codes for the older Himalayan family, J-platform 350 motorcycles and Royal Enfield 650 models.

Direct Stock-Replacement Design

NGage positions the Hyper Flow range as a direct stock replacement. NGAGE-018HIM450 is intended to replace the original filter element in the stock airbox on the confirmed motorcycles without a universal pod-filter conversion.

Correct airbox sealing remains essential. After installation, verify that the entire filter perimeter is seated correctly and there is no unfiltered-air bypass path.

Adventure & Mixed-Terrain Use

The Himalayan 450 is commonly used in dusty, touring and mixed-terrain environments, where air-filter inspection becomes especially important. NGage states that the Hyper Flow range has been extensively tested across different terrains and uses cotton gauze, support structures and reusable construction for durability.

Service frequency should therefore be based on actual riding conditions rather than one fixed kilometre interval.

Washable, Re-Oilable & Reusable

One of the main differences from a conventional disposable paper filter is that this filter is designed to be cleaned, dried, re-oiled and reinstalled.

Inspect the filter more frequently after:

• Dusty rides
• Off-road use
• Long adventure tours
• Construction-zone riding
• Heavy pollution
• Wet or muddy conditions

Does It Need ECU Tuning?

NGage markets this filter as a direct replacement for the stock filter element. This listing does not claim that an ECU tune is always required or never required.

If the motorcycle also has a free-flow exhaust, intake modifications, piggyback ECU or remap, fuelling should be evaluated for the complete motorcycle setup.

Optional Filter Cleaning / Recharge Kit

NGage also sells a separate air-filter cleaning and recharge product for reusable filters. A cleaning/recharge kit or filter oil is not included with NGAGE-018HIM450 unless explicitly bundled.
