Each biker wants a motorcycle which is different than others. This gives the owner a sense of identity and self expression making the bike truly their own in every respect. With no OEM offering modification service, bikers go to aftermarket specialists, which may or may not provide legal mods.
Royal Enfield has recognized this need and has introduced Make-It-Yours initiative for its motorcycles. In the first phase, only the 650 Twins will be offered under this new service. Buyers of these two motorcycles will be able to modify their motorcycle, right at the time of booking via the Royal Enfield App or at their stores.
First of its kind initiative
The Royal Enfield Make-It-Yours MiY is the first of its kind motorcycle personalization initiative. It is offered only on two of the bikes in the company lineup as on date, but plans are to introduce this to other models in the company portfolio in a phased manner.
