Royal Enfield is getting aggressive with its product strategy for the Indian market. After introducing the Scram 411, the company is now preparing to launch a new entry-level motorcycle – rumoured to be called the RE Hunter 350 in August 2022. RE is also working on multiple new motorcycles including the next-gen Bullet 350, Himalayan 450 and new 650cc cruiser & Classic.
Royal Enfield has started testing the next-gen Bullet 350 on the Indian roads. This time around, the 2023 Royal Enfield Bullet 350 has been spotted without any camouflage. The motorcycle retains the old school design with round headlight housing, twin pilot lights, round rear view mirrors and round indicators. It gets the same wide handlebar that offers upright riding position to rider.
The 2023 Royal Enfield Bullet 350 features a single-piece stepped seat, which is also similar to the one offered in the current model. The motorcycle has centrally placed foot pegs, which should add to the comfortable upright riding posture. It is most likely to share most of the cycle parts including the platform, suspension set-up and braking system with the new Classic 350 or Meteor 350.
The new RE Bullet 350 will be designed on the new J-series platform, which is claimed to offer refined performance and power delivery with less vibrations. The new Bullet 350 will be powered by the 349cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that powers the Meteor & Classic. Paired to a 5-speed gearbox, the single-cylinder motor delivers a peak power of 20.2bhp and a peak torque of 27Nm.
For suspension duties, the 2023 Royal Enfield Bullet 350 will get the conventional telescopic forks at the front and twin shock absorbers at the rear. The braking system will comprise of front disc and rear drum brakes along with the single-channel ABS system. The motorcycle will come with spoked wheels, while the instrument cluster design seems identical to the current model.
