Royal Enfield has made a significant move in the two-wheeler market by launching the Bullet 350, priced at an ex-showroom rate of ₹1,73,562. This new addition to their lineup takes the position of the company’s second-most economical offering, following the Hunter 350.
A Closer Look at the Engine
The Bullet 350 is not just a budget-friendly option; it’s a powerhouse in its own right.
- It employs the new J-series engine, the same one that powers the current Classic 350, Hunter 350, and Meteor 350 models.
- This 349cc, single-cylinder engine churns out an impressive 20.2 BHP at 6,100 rpm and 27 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm.
- The engine is mated to a five-speed gearbox, ensuring a smooth riding experience.
Variants and Features
The Bullet 350 is available in three distinct variants: Military Black and Red, Standard, and Black Gold.
- The entry-level variant is equipped with single-channel ABS and a rear drum brake, along with single solid-colored tanks.
- As you ascend the variant ladder, the Standard model comes with dual-channel ABS and a rear disc brake.
- The top-of-the-line Black Gold variant retains the same hardware but adds aesthetic flair with a matte and gloss black tank, copper and gold 3D badge, copper pinstriping, and blacked-out engine components.
The Takeaway
The launch of the Bullet 350 is a strategic move by Royal Enfield to capture a broader market segment. While it offers affordability, it does not compromise on performance or features, making it a compelling choice for bike enthusiasts.
