Apart from motorcycles, Royal Enfield's stores will also retail the brand's protective riding gear, accessories, apparel and other merchandise. Cambodia further expands Royal Enfield's presence in the South East Asian market that has witnessed increased demand for the manufacturer in recent years. In 2019, RE announced its new assembly plant in Thailand, its first outside India that marked the company's first fully-owned subsidiary in the Asia Pacific region. The manufacturer also has established presence in Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, and even South Korea.

The Cambodian motorcycle market is a fast-growing space dominated by commuter offerings from several Chinese players. The premium motorcycle market though is still at a nascent stage and has seen limited success for brands like Kawasaki and Ducati in the past. However, Royal Enfield, which operates in the mid-size segment, aims to capitalise on its strengths as a large-capacity motorcycle maker with accessible pricing for its products. Apart from RE, other Indian two-wheeler makers that retail products in Cambodia include Bajaj Auto and TVS Motor Company.

While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen.
