Bullet purists, rejoice! The world’s longest-continuous production motorcycle is back.

Royal Enfield has launched the newest iteration of the iconic Bullet 350 motorcycle in India. The new Royal Enfield Bullet 350 prices range from INR 1.74-2.16 lakh (ex-showroom).

The new Bullet 350 retains the classic Bullet 350 styling while receiving subtle design tweaks in the form of a new headlight and taillight, seat design, handle, rear fender, frame, and engine. The signature feature of the previous Bullet 350 has been preserved. It retains the single-piece seat and circular halogen headlamp. The fuel tank retains the iconic hand-painted gold pinstripes. On the feature front, it gets a semi-digital instrument cluster that houses an LCD info panel and a USB charging port mounted below the handlebar. But, it misses out on the tripper navigation.

The new bike sits on the same J-platform architecture that also serves as a foundation for the  Hunter 350, Classic 350, and Meteor 350. Powering the Bullet 350 is the J-series engine that also powers the Meteor, Classic and Hunter 350 models. The 349cc, an air-cooled engine, SOHC unit delivers a maximum power output of 20 bhp and a peak torque of 27 Nm, paired with a 5-speed gearbox.

The suspension system of the Bullet 350 comprises conventional telescopic forks at the front and twin gas-charged shock absorbers at the rear. Braking duties on the new Bullet 350 are handled by a 300mm front disc brake; higher-spec versions get a 270mm rear disc brake, with a dual-channel ABS. The base model, on the other hand, comes with a rear drum brake unit and single-channel ABS.  The new Bullet 350 also gets wider section tyres as compared to previous models. The bike rides on wire-spoke wheels (19-inch front, 18-inch rear) with a 100/90-section front tyre and 120/80-section rear tyre.

Royal Enfield is offering the new Bullet 350 in three variants – Military, Standard and Gold, and five colour options – Military Red, Military Black, Standard Maroon, Standard Black and Black Gold.
