Commenting on the launch of Himalayan Sleet and the Explorer Kit, Rudratej (Rudy) Singh, President, Royal Enfield, said, “The new Himalayan Sleet is inspired by the terrain of Royal Enfield’s spiritual home – the Himalayas, its craggy land, the gorges, edgy peaks all brought together in the colours of the sleet . Additionally, the first 500 owners will get pre-fitted Explorer Kits to help kick-start their personal expeditions on the Himalayan Sleet”
Genuine Motorcycle Accessories that will form part of the Himalayan Sleet Explorer Kit are two 26 litres water resistant aluminium panniers, off-road style aluminium handlebar with cross brace for added strength, handlebar end weights for additional protection, and a powder-coated finish engine guard.
The Himalayan Sleet Grey aims to combine versatility and all-day comfort for all rides.
