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.

And the new engine, with more displacement to meet the Euro 5 emission regulations, will replace the current engine on the Honda NC750 range, with the engine and chassis shares amongst several Honda models including the Honda NC750S naked bike, the NC750D Integra scooter, the NC750X adventure tourer, as well as the Honda X-ADV adventure scooter.

Indian Motorcycle took the wraps off the Indian FTR 1200 Rally, which is an off-road biased version of the standard Indian FTR 1200 . The FTR 1200 Rally looks more of a scrambler than a flat-tracker and boy, does it look good! There are a few changes on the Rally compared to the standard model such as ProTaper handlebars, which are 50 mm higher. This results in a more upright seating position. The alloy wheels are swapped out for Aluminium spoke wheels wrapped in knobby Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR rubber. The FTR 1200 Rally also gets a new Titanium smoke paint scheme along with the Indian headdress logo along with a brown seat, giving the motorcycle a stripped out retro look.
