Royal Enfield has officially announced that the new-generation Bullet 350 will be launched on September 1. The new Bullet 350 is expected to slot in between the Hunter 350 and the Classic 350, filling a void in the lineup.
The Hunter 350 is currently the most affordable new-generation Royal Enfield, with an ex-showroom price of ₹1.5 lakh. The new Bullet 350 will also have a new headlamp, tail lamp, and turn indicators. It will also have a double-cradle chassis, similar to the Classic 350.
The new Bullet 350 is expected to have a 349cc, SOHC J-Series engine, which is also used in the Classic 350, Hunter 350, and Meteor 350. The engine is expected to produce 20 at 6,100 rpm and 27 Newton meters of force at 4,000 rpm. It will be paired with a 5-speed transmission.
The upcoming 2023 Royal Enfield Bullet is likely to get a new suspension system, wider tires and the option of dual-channel ABS. The upcoming Bullet 350 is expected to be priced slightly higher than its predecessor, which currently has an ex-showroom price of ₹1.51 lakh.
The earlier teaser showed the motorcycle's exhaust note, and it is noteworthy that the manufacturer has managed to retain much of the iconic sound, even though the motorcycle complies with BS6 Stage 2 emission standards.
