On the other hand, Royal Enfield is gearing up to introduce the new-generation Himalayan later this month with bookings open across the country. The adventure tourer has been comprehensively updated and is built on an all-new platform. The bike is RE’s first to feature liquid cooling, ride-by-wire, all-digital console, and tubeless spokes (to be introduced in India next year). We rode the new Himalayan in the Himalayas recently and prices are now the only bit that remain under wraps.
