Royal Enfield Bullet 350 becomes more expensive in India

- Prices increased by around Rs 3,000

- Start from Rs 1,60,178 now

- Next-gen model to be launched soon

Royal Enfield has increased the prices of most of its bikes in India, which also includes its oldest offering, the Bullet 350. All the variants of this motorcycle have received a price increment of approximately Rs 3,000. Following the price revision, the kick-start variant of the Bullet 350 costs Rs 1,60,178 while the electric start trim of the bike is pegged at Rs 1,68,970 (both prices are ex-showroom, Delhi). 

The Bullet 350 remains unchanged on all other fronts. However, the biggest update of the bike is due soon. As of now, this is the only motorcycle that is based on RE’s older 350cc platform while all other bikes with the same displacement are built on the new J platform. Interestingly, the next-generation iteration of the Bullet 350 has been spied testing on a few occasions and the official announcement should take place in the coming weeks. 

The quintessential old-school styling of the Bullet 350 has stayed the same for years, save for the introduction of new colour options. Powering the bike is a 346cc, air-cooled, long-stroke engine that produces 19.1bhp and 28Nm of peak torque. Its transmission duties are handled by a five-speed gearbox. As for the cycle parts, it rides on a 19-19-inch spoke wheel combination along with telescopic forks and dual springs. Braking is taken care of by a disc-drum combination. 

In terms of body style and displacement, the Royal Enfield Bullet 350 doesn’t have any direct rival as all the current small-size modern-classic offerings from other brands are substantially more expensive.
