Royal Enfield Bullet 350 gets two new colourways with hand-painted pinstripes

Royal Enfield has introduced two new colour schemes to the Bullet 350. They are Military Silver Black and Military Silver Red. What makes these colourways special is the fact that they come with silver pinstripes which are hand-painted. The new colours will sit below Standard models and will be priced at ₹1.79 lakh ex-showroom.

Hand-painted pinstripes are one of the major things that Bullet 350 was known for. Till now, Royal Enfield was only selling the top-end variant with hand-painted pinstripes. However, with the new variants, the price for the iconic hand-painted pinstripes will go down. So, people would be able to afford it.

Apart from this, there are no changes to the motorcycle. Royal Enfield Bullet 350 is available in three variants - Military, Standard and Black Gold. The prices start at ₹1.74 lakh ex-showroom and go up to ₹2.16 lakh ex-showroom.

The new-gen Bullet 350 shares its underpinnings with the Classic 350. However, there are a few differences in terms of the sitting posture and design elements. It continues to come with an up-right riding posture and a single-piece seat. The side toolbox cover has been retained and so are the metallic fenders and tear-drop fuel tank.

Being based on the J-platform, the engine is shared with the Classic 350, Hunter 350 and the Meteor 350. It is a 349 cc, air-oil cooled unit that produces 20 bhp of max power and 27 Nm of peak torque. It is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The exhaust note of the motorcycle is also quite nice.

Suspension duties are performed by telescopic forks in the front and twin shock absorbers at the rear. The motorcycle comes to a halt using a disc brake in the front and a drum or disc brake at the rear. Depending on the variant, there is dual and single-channel ABS on offer.
