Wasn't the Tripper discontinued? A year or more ago?

never discontinued. it used to be standard on one of the 350s but RE removed it and made it optional instead. so far it still mostly sucks. whoevers on the development team for the tripper are absolutely horrible.

I stand corrected.

It's sad the tripper hasn't been developed to a useful level.

honestly, it SHOULD be discontinued. the app for it has mostly sat in limbo.

meanwhile, beeline moto just came out with a new one!

I liked the brake/clutch levers shown in iblastoffs's OP so contacted Hitchcocks about them.

Dan's reply:-
These levers have been on Royal Enfield’s internal accessory system for many years now along with a number of other accessories. Unfortunately, they have never made it to market and I doubt we will ever see them produced by Royal Enfield (the latest bikes have changed lever design, so it is also more unlikely they would go back to offer an accessory like this for a none “current” setup).

Dan

Maybe similar applies to other items marked 'new' in the NZ catalogue in the OP.

thats unfortunate. i'd much rather prefer the shape of these over all of the other generic aftermarket ones.
