2021 remained a special year for Royal Enfield as the new-generation Classic 350 hit the showrooms. The bread and butter model of the company promised a quicker sales recovery and that seems to be the case. Moreover, the company introduced the Anniversary Edition 650 Twins sold last month that was sold out in record time. Celebrating its 120th anniversary, the RE Himalayan conquered the South Pole last month during a special expedition in a historic moment for the manufacturer.
