The new camouflage paint scheme takes inspiration from the Himalayas, and the word 'Sleet' means 'rain containing some ice, as when the snow melts as it falls.' The Himalayan Sleet also comes with a 2-year warranty by Royal Enfield. Along with the Explorer Kit, the Sleet Edition is about Rs 28,000 more than the regular model.

The Royal Enfield Himalayan Sleet continues to draw power from the 411c, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine producing 24bhp @ 6,500rpm and 32Nm of torque @ 4,500rpm mated to a 5-speed gearbox.

Speaking about the new motorcycle, Royal Enfield President Rudratej Singh said, "The new Himalayan Sleet is inspired by the terrain of Royal Enfield's spiritual home - the Himalayas, its craggy land, the gorges, edgy peaks all brought together in the colours of the sleet."

DriveSpark Thinks!

The Royal Enfield Himalayan Sleet launch in India is an attempt to showcase the motorcycle adventure tourer image. The camouflage paint scheme looks brilliant and adds some flair to the bike. That said, the Himalayan has been facing flak for its reliability in the recent past, and we hope Royal Enfield has addressed those questions in the new Himalayan.
