Royal Enfield also says that the side-stand on the BS-VI Himalayan has also been improved so parking at rough terrain is simpler. The manufacturer will also bring in a new range of riding gear and apparel inspired by the Himalayan. The collection will offer dual sport helmets that match colour schemes of the Himalayan. The collection also has a lifestyle apparel range, consisting of a lightweight jersey with armour pockets on shoulders and elbows and a curated range of t-shirts, sweatshirts and headgear.
