Royal Enfield Himalayan Sleet colour variant now available across dealerships - Report

A report from BikeWale states that the Royal Enfield Himalayan Sleet colour variant is now available across dealerships in the country.

However, the bike comes without accessories. Earlier, the 500 limited-unit Sleet Edition came with the Explorer Kit, which included two panniers, engine guard, braced handlebar, apart from the camo paint job. The Sleet Edition is sold out, but now the bike is available with just the paint job alone. The new colour commands a premium of INR 3,672 over the standard variant. But if the customer wants the Explorer Kit, he/she can reportedly purchase it at an additional cost of INR 31,900. The price is inclusive of charges for fitting the accessories. The Sleet colour variant reportedly costs INR 1.71 lakhs, ex-showroom.
