New-gen Royal Enfield Bullet 350 launched: Design
As expected, Royal Enfield hasn’t tinkered too much with the design of the new Bullet. Notable visual updates include a slightly longer front fender, a shorter squared-off rear fender, a single-piece seat with slightly different contouring, rectangular side boxes, and new headlamps and taillamp borrowed from Classic Reborn.
While the shape appears to be same, the matte and gloss black fuel tank flaunts a new copper and gold 3D badge, a crown insignia and copper pinstriping. Another noticeable update is the peashooter exhaust muffler. The company is offering five colour options with the new Bullet 350 namely Military Black, Military Red, Standard Black, Standard Maroon, and Black Gold, some of them offered with a blacked-out engine finish.
New-gen Royal Enfield Bullet 350 launched: Specs, features
The new-gen Bullet 350 is based on the same J-series platform that other 350cc models like Classic Reborn, Meteor and Hunter. The twin downtube frame sits on conventional telescopic forks and twin rear shock absorbers. The motorcycle will roll on 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoked wheels shod with tubed tyres that are fatter than the outgoing ones.
Braking duties are carried out by 300mm front and 270mm rear discs aided by dual-channel ABS in the mid-spec and top-spec variants. The base-spec model gets a drum brake at rear with a single-channel ABS. As usual, Royal Enfield is offering multiple accessories and customisation options via the MiY configurator.
Powering the new Bullet is a 349cc single-cylinder, air/oil-cooled engine that puts out 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm of peak torque. This motor is paired with a 5-speed gearbox. As for features, the new-gen Bullet gets halogen headlamp and taillamp, a USB charging port, and a revised instrument cluster with an analogue speedometer and a digital inset with an odometer, fuel gauge and a service reminder.
