It retains the familiar design with the J-series underpinnings
After being spied a few days ago, another test mule of the 2023 Royal Enfield Bullet 350 has been spotted. The Bullet 350, which is the sole surviving member of Royal Enfield’s old-school UCE engine is all set to receive a comprehensive makeover just like its sibling, the Classic 350.
The bike looks quite similar to the Classic 350. The biggest giveaway that it’s the Bullet 350 and not the Classic 350 is the single-piece seat. Other different bits include the larger front mudguard and the lack of rubber grips on the fuel tank. The test mule also sports a circular taillight with round indicators, doing away with the old-school rectangular unit.

The rest of the bike remains the same as the Classic 350, it seems. The split double cradle frame, the telescopic fork with metal sleeves, the simple twin shocks at the rear and spoke rims are all identical to the Classic. Even the J-platform’s 349cc mill (20.4PS and 27Nm) will probably run identical throttle map and ignition timing to the Classic.
We think the 2023 Royal Enfield Bullet 350 could be launched by February 2023 at a price of about Rs 1.80 lakh (ex-showroom). The Bullet 350’s prices currently start from Rs 1,70,840 (on-road Delhi) and once here, it’ll rival the likes of the Yamaha FZ-X and the upcoming Kawasaki W175.
