Royal Enfield Himalayan tubeless spoke wheel prices hiked for new buyers
Royal Enfield has increased prices for the tubeless spoke wheels on the Himalayan 450 for new buyers. The tubeless cross-spoke wheels on the Royal Enfield Himalayan are now priced at ₹17,350, compared to the original launch price of ₹11,224. Notably, the bike maker recently increased the cross-spoke wheel prices for the existing Himalayan 450 owners from ₹12,424 to ₹40,645.
New buyers will now pay a difference of ₹ 4,926 on the tubeless wheels, albeit the difference is not as significant as the one existing Royal Enfield Himalayan buyers will have to shell out.

Royal Enfield introduced its cross-spoke tubeless wheels at a remarkably affordable price, which attracted several new and existing customers to bring them home.

₹ 40,000 for the tubeless cross-spoke wheels
That said, Royal Enfield is still offering its cross-spoke wheels at a more competitive price than its rivals. Triumph recently introduced tubeless cross-spoke wheels with the Scrambler 400 XC. The motorcycle commands a ₹27,000 premium over the standard Scrambler 400 X, which brings a new paint scheme, better underbelly protection, and the new tubeless spoked wheels. However, for customers looking to buy the wheels separately, the cross-spokes cost a whopping ₹72,000. We've explained the pricing for the Scrambler 400 XC tubeless spoke wheels in a separate story.
Apart from RE and Triumph, KTM offers tubeless spoke wheels on the new-gen 390 Adventure S variant, which carries a ₹65,000 premium over the 390 Adventure X trim that comes equipped with alloy wheels.
