Royal Enfield introduces new connected vehicle solution
At present, the company has deployed this in the recently launched Super Meteor 650, and plans to offer it as a standard fitment in future models.
Royal Enfield has launched the Royal Enfield Wingman, a rider-centric connected vehicle solution in India. This system seamlessly integrates vehicle connectivity, a dedicated application, and backend support managed by the Royal Enfield GRID team. The Royal Enfield Wingman offers riders real-time information about their motorcycles and ensures proactive support at all times.
Royal Enfield Wingman is available for both Android and iOS devices and is supported by a telematics hardware and can be operated through the RE APP. Currently available only in India, customers booking the Super Meteor 650 from November 16, 2023 will get this feature as standard with a marginal increase of Rs 6,500 for the device, on the ex-showroom price, and existing Super Meteor customers can opt for this by purchasing the device and with the nominal fitment cost.

Royal Enfield Wingman is a significant step in this direction, providing riders with a more connected and safer experience. It complements our commitment to offering premium quality and innovative solutions to our riders. Currently launched in India, we strongly believe that this new connected vehicle solution will further elevate the riding experience of the customers and allow them to stay closely connected with their motorcycle and the brand Royal Enfield.”
Royal Enfield Wingman provides real-time information about the motorcycle’s health to the rider.

It also has enhanced security features like engine on/off alerts, and is GPS enabled that allows location tracking, last parked location tracking and walk-to-my-motorcycle feature. The feature also provides the rider with incisive data about the daily rides, riding patterns, trip information such as the ride routes, max speed, average speed etc, including sudden braking and sudden acceleration notifications.
