Moreover, this redefined model possesses a unique and distinctive style. The Himalayan’s non-intimidating Spartan design, a flat torque curve and accessible seat height, made it suited for long rides. Powered by long stroke 410 engine, the new vehicle also paves the way for a purer, non-extreme and more accessible form of adventure touring with its capable off-road capabilities make it adept for riding through urban jungles and mountain trails.
Vimal Sumbly, Royal Enfield Asia Pacific Region’s Business Head shares, “Himalayan has allowed us redefine the adventure touring space in the Philippines in many ways, which was earlier largely dominated by very heavy, extremely complicated, intimidating and inaccessible motorcycles. Since its arrival in 2017, the Himalayan has opened the adventure touring space for novices, who aspired but never had a purpose built product, at an accessible price point, available in the market.”
The Himalayan’s Street Version is priced at Php 299,000, while Php 326,000 for the touring version.
