Royal Enfield Himalayan Gets Tubeless Spoke Wheels in India, Here’s How to Get Them

Royal Enfield has introduced tubeless spoke wheels for the new Himalayan, almost a year after its launch. The wheels are optional accessories and cost Rs 11,000 per pair. However, it is important to keep in mind that the aforementioned cost applies only when the customer customises the new bike through the MIY configurator. The existing owners can access the wheels through dealerships for Rs 12,424, starting October 3, 2024. The Royal Enfield Himalayan is currently priced at 2.85 lakh ex-showroom. However, with tubeless wire-spoked wheels (booked through MiY), the bike starts at Rs 2.96 lakh. Except for the new wheels, the Royal Enfield Himalayan remains the same in terms of engine and other specifications.
