It has launched the much-awaited Bullet 350 in India at a starting price of Rs 1.73 lakh. While it looks similar to the existing Bullet, a couple of significant changes have been made to bring the motorcycle on par with other models in the Royal Enfield line-up. Let’s take a quick look at everything new on the 2023. Royal Enfield Bullet, 350
Royal Enfield is offering the Bullet 350 in five color options depending on the variant. The base Military variant will be offered in Military Red and Military Black colors. Meanwhile, the standard variant will be offered in Standard Black and Standard Maroon. Lastly, the Black Gold variant stands true to its name and gets a blacked-out paint scheme with golden pinstripes
Another notable change will be the retirement of the kick-starter option. Presently, the Bullet lineup offers a more budget-friendly kick-start-only variant, alongside pricier models equipped with an electric starter. However, with this update, the kick-start-only option will cease to be available
The most significant change to the new Bullet is the introduction of the all-new 349cc J-platform engine. This power plant, which already does duty in the classic 350, Hunter 350, and Meteor 350 models, is expected to make 20.2bhp and 27Nm of torque
Beyond mere numbers, this new engine promises a substantial enhancement in overall refinement. Notably, it's anticipated to quell the persistent high-RPM vibrations that have long been a concern for Bullet riders, potentially relegating this issue to history. As the new engine finds its place in the Bullet, it signifies the end of an era for the venerable 346cc Unit Construction Engine. This power plant, introduced in 2010, played a pivotal role in Royal Enfield's resurgence, steering the brand away from its earlier troubles
Much like its predecessor, the refreshed Bullet will share its chassis with the existing Classic 350 model. This includes a double down tube frame, complemented by a conventional telescopic fork and a pair of twin shock absorbers for suspension. We can also expect wheel and tire dimensions mirroring those of the Classic model, featuring a 100/90-19 tire upfront and a 120/80-18 tire at the rear. This will result in better handling and a more balanced and comfortable ride
While the new Bullet 350 carries the old-school design of the outgoing model, it gets styling updates similar to the new classic 350. The only differences against the Classic lie in the single-piece seat, the lack of a hood over the headlight and a new tail lamp design
