This is the biggest change the icon will witness in eons
Royal Enfield is going to keep us pretty busy in the run up to its annual biking festival – Rider Mania 2023 – with new products on the horizon. The first one of these is the overhauled Bullet 350 that is set to arrive tomorrow.
The Bullet 350 will also be making the switch from the old UCE mill to the new and much loved J1-349 thumper that we have seen on the Classic 350, Hunter 350, and the Meteor 350. So, we figure the engine output is bound to remain the same for this bike as well (20.2PS and 27Nm). It will carry the relaxed engine response and ignition timing as the Classic, though, which will be in line with the easy going vibe of the bike.
Where we expect the differences between the Classic 350 and Bullet 350 to arrive are in the styling elements and ergonomics. The Bullet is likely to carry its minimal and fairly simplistic bodywork. Not to forget, the iconic black tank with golden hand-painted pinstriping is going to be present here as well.
As for the ergos, there will be the same single-piece ribbed seat and the handlebar is likely to be a bit lower and closer to give that macho riding stance.
All details regarding the new Bullet 350 will be revealed tomorrow with the prices expected to be around Rs 1.80 lakh (ex-showroom), slotting neatly between the Hunter and the Classic.
