Product review: Royal Enfield Himalayan backpack – Introduction

Royal Enfield Himalayan backpack product review

As the name suggests, this backpack is designed to be coupled with the motorcycle of the same name. The Himalayan backpack from Royal Enfield is designed to be strapped on to the Himalayan’s fuel tank. Salient features include waterproof construction, including a roll-top for the main compartment, a separate waterproof compartment in which you can carry a laptop, and two small pockets at the front in which to store small things. The Royal Enfield logo on the front is reflective, which should help if you use it as a backpack on rides at night. 

The quality of the bag is very good, and the price at Rs 3700 is very reasonable for the waterproof/stormproof design. It is also very spacious, although we wonder if maybe a few smaller compartments would have made it a much more useful bag. Coming up: how it functions as a backpack and a tank bag on various motorcycles other than the Himalayan (we’ll need to get our mitts on a Himalayan for the latter). '

You can order the Royal Enfield Himalayan backpack at the RE online store. It also offers a notification via email should the product be out of stock.
