Apart from increasing the prices, no other changes have made on the bike. However, the company has not officially given any reason for increasing the latest prices. But this is likely to offset by higher input costs and semiconductor shortages, which, in turn, have significantly impacted input costs as well.

Recently, the company has also changed the features of Meteor 350 and Himlayan bikes. The Tripper Navigation Pod is now available only as an option accessory on these bikes, which was earlier standard. Due to this the prices of these bikes have also been cut.

The price of both the Meteor 350 and the Himalayan has slashed by Rs 5,000 due to the removal of tripper navigation as a standard feature.
