Commenting on the collaboration with Knox, Puneet Sood, Head - Apparel Business at Royal Enfield said, "At Royal Enfield, ensuring a 'safe' and a 'pure riding experience' for our riders is at the center of our product strategy. With this partnership, we aim to foster our commitment to provide our customers with products that meet global safety norms. The intent is to offer relevant and accessible products for riders and motorcycling enthusiasts. The partnership started with using Knox armors for our new range of riding gear including jackets, gloves, and riding trousers. The co-created knee-guard is a byproduct of years of our motorcycling experience, our understanding of a rider's needs, different riding conditions, terrains, etc., and Knox's technical expertise and experience in designing and manufacturing innovative body armors and apparel for motorcycling.
"Our motorcycles are used for both leisure riding as well as a means of not only commute. Rider safety is equally important in both cases. We understood that the acceptance of riding trousers is low in India and there was a need for a product that provides protection and can be wo
over regular denim or trousers be it for a commute to the office, a weekend ride, or a trip to the Himalayas. In line with our vision to increase awareness around road safety and safe riding practices, we will continue to offer versatile consumer-centric products. Our alliance with Knox is a testimony of our dedication to providing a 'pure motorcycling experience to everyone in love with the motorcycling way of life."
