Royal Enfield has removed the Tipper navigation system as standard feature from the Meteor 350 and Himalayan model lineup. Now, it’s available as an optional offering. One must note that buyers can add these aforementioned feature at the time of booking via the brand’s ‘Make it Yours’ configurator. The reason behind this decision is said to be the serious chip shortage.
With the deletion of Tripper navigation, the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 has witnessed a price decline of around Rs 4,000. Now, the entry-level Fireball variant costs Rs 2.01 lakh and the top-end Supernova model is priced at Rs 2.17 lakh. Interestingly, the Royal Enfield Himalayan continues to come within the price range of Rs 2.15 lakh – Rs 2.22 lakh. All aforementioned prices are ex-showroom.
Tripper Navigation System
For Tripper navigation, the Meteor and Himalayan have an additional pod placed on the right side of the instrument cluster. It’s essentially Royal Enfield’s Google-powered turn-by-turn navigation system. User have to pair the phone (via Bluetooth) to the navigation system via RE’s app. The display, however, doesn’t show incoming calls and messages.

RE Meteor, Himalayan Engine
Engine setup of the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 includes a new 349cc, fuel-injected, single-cylinder unit that makes 20.2hp at 6,100rpm and 27Nm at 4,000rpm. It’s an air-cooled unit with an oil circuit in the 2-valve head to aid cooling. The bikemaker has also equipped it with a balancer shaft to control vibrations to a large extent.
The Royal Enfield Himalayan comes with a 411cc, single-cylinder that delivers a claimed power of 24.3hp and 32Nm of torque. Just so you know, the adventure tourer received an update in early 2021. The model comes with the revised design and a smaller, more forward-set metal frame. The bike also gets two new colour schemes – Pine Green and Granite Black.
