National, November 27, 2023: An exhilarating combination of music, adventure experiences
and custom culture made Royal Enfield’s Motoverse 2023, a haven for riders and non-riders.
The 13th edition of the most anticipated motorcycling festival of the year, unfolded over three
power-packed days welcoming nearly 15,000 attendees, and motorcyclists from across the
world.
With the community at the center of all the action at Motoverse, the highlight was the official
launch of Royal Enfield’s adventure tourer – the all-new Himalayan and the surprise unveiling
of the custom-inspired Shotgun 650 Motoverse edition exclusively for the attendees. With an
epic lineup of events across the board, there was something for everyone from beer-drinking

bar’ and artists from Arunachal, like Taba Chake and Da Shugs an indigenous band from
Ladakh left the audience wanting more with their fusion of traditional folk and rock music.

called Shed Builds. Celebrating the imagination and creativity of the community, this space

Enfield’s largest gathering. The showcase featured the very best of the custom-built world, and
23 of the most exceptional builds were selected through a crowdsourced digital campaign.
