A new Bullet 350 will be launched by Royal Enfield on September 1st without major changes to its design. As with the Classic 350, the bike will feature a unique seat design, circular halogen headlamp, and a new tail lamp.

Royal Enfield has officially confirmed the upcoming launch of the new-generation Bullet 350 on September 1st. Positioned to fit between the Hunter 350 and the Classic 350, the Bullet 350 will cater to a specific niche in the lineup. It's worth noting that the Hunter 350 currently holds the title of being the most budget-friendly new-generation Royal Enfield, starting at an ex-showroom price of ₹1.5 lakh.

New Features of Royal Enfield 350

According to reports, the 2023 version of the Royal Enfield Bullet 350 will maintain its established design, with no major changes planned by the company. The iconic design that is synonymous with the Bullet series will remain mostly unchanged, as Royal Enfield aims to preserve its distinctive visual identity. There might be potential updates involving new body panels, but they are expected to retain the familiar aesthetic, similar to what was done with the Classic 350 model.

Interestingly, the upcoming model will sport a single-seat design and a circular halogen headlamp without the enclosing cover. The initial teaser showcases the pinstripe detailing on the fuel tank, while a new tail lamp borrowed from the Classic 350 will also be featured.

Reports suggest that the new-generation Bullet 350 will share the same chassis as the Classic 350, providing a common foundation for both motorcycles. The suspension and braking components will also be consistent across both models. The front suspension will include 41 mm telescopic forks, while the rear will utilize twin shock absorbers with 6 levels of adjustability.

Powering the Bullet 350 will be the new J-series engine, a 349 cc long-stroke unit with air-oil cooling. This engine will produce around 20 bhp of maximum power and 27 Nm of peak torque. Paired with a 5-speed gearbox, the engine's characteristics will be fine-tuned by Royal Enfield to complement the bike's attributes. This same engine is also used in the Classic 350, Hunter 350, and Meteor 350, but with distinct tuning for each model, resulting in subtle variations in performance across the three motorcycles.
