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.
