The overall design is the same, but there are a couple of details that have changed. First, Royal Enfield has added its Tripper navigation screen onto the Himalayan's quirky digi-analogue instrument console. The Tripper screen is just like the one that debuted in the Meteor 350 – it's a small, circular colour display that reads out navigation directions. The Tripper display works via Bluetooth and requires your phone to be connected to the Royal Enfield app. As with the Meteor, there are no phone notifications displayed on this screen, but it makes sense for a bike that's made for travel.
With the addition of the Tripper screen, Royal Enfield had to change the earlier windscreen to fit around the new display. The new windscreen is not only wider, but a little taller as well. It provides decent wind protection, but not too much – a good thing in our climate. The screen is lightly tinted, but it's easy to see through and there was no noticeable helmet-buffet, even at early triple-digit speeds.
