For this expedition, two Royal
Enfield Himalayan motorcycles
were modified in-house, with
functional upgrades to be
able to navigate snow and ice,
and function under extreme
conditions in Antarctica. The
motorcycles were ridden on a
compacted snow track from
the Ross Ice Shelf to the South
Pole, to reduce motorcycle
drag and limit emissions to
an absolute minimum. Royal
Enfield is consciously ensuring
no footprint is left behind by the
expedition team except wheel
tracks that will be quickly lost to
snow drift.
