The major enhancement for 2022 comes by way of a new turn-by-turn navigation element integrated into the instrument cluster. The Royal Enfield Tripper navigation pairs to your smartphone using the Royal Enfield app and uses Google Maps to provide simple, easy-to-follow directions to your destination.

Additionally, the bike comes with a new seat cushion for enhanced comfort during long rides. A new windscreen provides better protection from buffeting and the front rack is slimmed down for a more comfy cockpit. Out back, Royal Enfield made the rear rack larger and set it lower so it’s easier to strap down your belongings and swing a leg over.

The bike remains powered by its 411cc single engine capable of 24.3 hp at 6,500 rpm and 23.6 pound-feet torque in the 4,000 to 4,500 range. It’s suspended by a 41mm telescopic fork and monoshock with linkage, is capable of carrying 4 gallons of fuel, and features dual-channel ABS which can be switched off at the rear.
