Stay More Connected With Your Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 With The New Wingman Feature

Just days ahead of the launch of the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, the veteran bikemaker has introduced a brand new feature called ‘Wingman’ for its flagship cruiser – the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650. But what exactly is it and how do you use it? Read on to find out.

What is Royal Enfield Wingman?

First and foremost, Royal Enfield Wingman is not an app by itself, but a new feature on the pre-existing Royal Enfield app. And at present it has only been developed for the Super Meteor 650. What it does is offer more features to make the rider more connected with, and informed about, their motorcycle. 

What are Royal Enfield Wingman’s features?

So with the app installed you can access five key things

• Live tracking - You can easily get the live location of your motorcycle wherever you are directly on your smartphone app. Even with your smartphone switched off, the Wingman feature can keep a track on your motorcycle. 

• Last parked location - Powered by Google Maps Navigation, you can easily access the last parked location of your motorcycle. Using GPS, it can show you the location accurately to 20-200m.

• Trip summary - You can access all the essential information from your trip including average speed, trip route, sudden braking, speeding incidents and acceleration data right on your phone.

• Vehicle Alerts - To keep you up to date with the real-time status of your motorcycle, the app gives you alerts about fuel level, battery percentage, and the overall health of the bike.

• Grid Support - This is one of the most important features that allows the riders to get proactive support from the Royal Enfield roadside assistance team wherever they go between 9am to 6pm. Interestingly, the RSA is available 24/7 and you can use the Grid support without the app as well.
