Royal Enfield has launched the Royal Enfield
Himalayan Sleet limited edition with the Sleet Explorer Kit at an introductory
price of Rs 2.12 lakh (on-road, Chennai). The Royal Enfield Himalayan Sleet
sets itself apart from the stock Royal Enfield Himalayan with its patterned
paint job in shades of grey, which is inspired by the snow-capped mountains it
is named after.
Only 500 units of the Royal
Enfield Himalayan Sleet will be sold and they will be up for grabs on the Royal
Enfield website. The Royal Enfield Himalayan Sleet comes fitted with the
Explorer Kit which comprises aluminium panniers, pannier mounting rails,
aluminium handlebar with cross-brace and powder-coated engine guard.
Those interested in picking up the 500 Sleet units
have to register on the RE website from January 12 to 30. When the sale goes
live on January 30, 2018, the first 500 customers to make a booking with the
payment of Rs 5,000 will ride home the motorcycle.
The Sleet comes powered by
the same fuel-injected 411 cc long-stroke single-cylinder engine as the BS
IV-compliant Himalayan. Royal Enfield is also working on a bigger Royal Enfield
Himalayan for the future, and two of its motorcycles powered by the new 650 cc
parallel twin engine may be launched later this year, as well.
