Other Business Updates

Royal Enfield had recently launched the all-new Royal Enfield Classic 350. The motorcycle retains its quintessential timeless and retro outlook, which is also one of the main USPs. Customers now have five exciting variants to choose from. This includes the Halcyon series, the Redditch series, the Dark series, the Classic Signals, and the Classic Chrome. Royal Enfield has now extended its Make-It-Yours (MiY) customisation to include a wide range of riding jackets. This industry-first initiative marks a special touch for the Royal Enfield customers.

The motorcycle maker has announced its foray into tracking racing. The launch of the first edition of the Continental GT CUP will act as the breeding ground for new entrants in motorsports. This has helped popularise the concept of motorsports in the country, thus attracting more people to join in. Given the current pandemic situation, Royal Enfield had organised ‘One Ride’, which aimed to encourage riders to carry their own waste back and avoid single-use plastic during their riding escapades.
