2021 Royal Enfield Himalayan Goes On Sale In The Philippines

The made-in-India Royal Enfield Himalayan has been introduced in the Philippines for the 2021 model year. The adventure motorcycle has been on sale in the South East Asian country for a while but now comes with a handful of upgrades that were introduced with the BS6 compliant version in India. The 2021 Royal Enfield Himalayan is priced at 299,000 Philippine Peso (around Rs. 4.52 lakh), which is competitive for the country. The bike is exported from India to the Philippines, which is one of the reasons for its high price compared to the model sold in India.
