YouTuber SuperIndian Vlogs has shared a video of the
Royal Enfield Himalayan with the Explorer Kit. The Explorer Kit used to come as
standard in the limited-edition Sleet, which was launched in January, this year.
The Explorer Kit for the Royal Enfield Himalayan
consists of two water-resistant aluminium panniers of 26 litres each; pannier
mounting brackets (which also relocates the rear indicators further back to
avoid hitting the panniers); off-road style aluminium handlebar with cross
brace for added strength, handlebar end weights for additional protection; and
an engine guard with black powder coat finish.
The Explorer Kit is reportedly available at Royal
Enfield stores at a price of INR 31,900. This kit enhances the touring
capability of the motorcycle. Additionally, it was reported recently that the
Sleet colour variant is now available, which is INR 3,672 more expensive than
the standard colour.
Apart from the kit, the bike is stock. Power comes from a
single cylinder 411 cc SOHC mill with air and oil cooling. With fuel injection,
the engine generates 24.5 bhp of power at 6,500 rpm, and 32 Nm of torque at
4,250 rpm. A 5-speed transmission does duty in the motorcycle. The engine
nestles inside a half-duplex split cradle frame. The Himalayan’s only other
rival in the mid-capacity adventure segment is the Kawasaki Versys-X 300.
