Like before, the bike comes with 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wire-spoked wheels and has a single 300 mm disc with 2-piston caliper (front) and 240 mm disc with single piston caliper (rear) doing the braking duty and dual-channel switchable ABS (rear wheel ABS deactivation) comes as standard.
Now, the bike can be personalised through the brand’s “Make it Yours” initiative, which will allow customers to not only know the on-road 2021 Royal Enfield Himalayan price at once, but also personalise and accessorise the bike through the Enfield app, on the brand’s website and at its dealerships.
