Royal Enfield and Vintage Rides extend partnership
Royal Enfield and Vintage Rides have extended their partnership to provide guided and curated motorcycle tours until 2025. With this, both entities aim to continue to bring a love of adventure and respectful travel to motorcycle enthusiasts across the globe.
In 2017, Royal Enfield and Vintage Rides partnered for the Frozen Ride - A motorcycle expedition on the frozen Khövsgöl lake in Mongolia. The goal of this journey was to meet the Dukha tribe, which is the smallest tribe of reindeer herders in the world.
Vintage Rides hosts guided tours in four continents and 19 countries, including France, Italy, Mongolia, India, Morocco, and Argentina. It also adds two new destinations to its list every year. So far, it has operated over 1,000 tours exclusively on Royal Enfield motorcycles since 2006. Alexandre Zurcher founded the Vintage Rides in India after completing a 20,000km journey on a Royal Enfield across the Indian continent.
In other news, Royal Enfield launched the new Super Meteor 650 last month. The cruiser-style motorcycle is available in two primary variants - Standard and Tourer. The standard variant is offered in five paints: Astral Green, Astral Blue, Astral Black, Interstellar Green, and Interstellar Grey.
