Introduction:
In a world of rapidly evolving motorcycles and futuristic tech, there’s one machine that refuses to fade—and continues to shine brighter with time: the legendary Royal Enfield Bullet 350. A motorcycle that has become an emotion for millions of Indians. Now, the classic thumper gets a small price revision, but don’t worry – the heart, soul, and sound remain untouched.
Let’s break it down in true Bullet style – calmly, steadily, and with that unmistakable thump.
Price Update – Small Change, Same Legend
Royal Enfield has revised the prices for the Bullet 350 lineup, but it’s a soft nudge rather than a steep hike. The new base variant – Battalion Black – brings back old-school charm with black bodywork, golden pinstripes, and a scooped seat, now priced at ₹1.75 lakh (ex-showroom, Chennai).
The rest of the lineup sees a modest increase of ₹2,000–₹3,000,that’s totally depending upon the variant you are opting for. Notably, the once-popular Military Silver variant has been quietly discontinued.
Variant-wise Price Table: Then vs Now
| Variant | Old Price | New Price | Price Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Battalion Black | – | ₹1.75 lakh | New Entry |
| Military (Black/Red) | ₹1.73 lakh | ₹1.75 lakh | ₹2,000 |
| Standard (Black/Maroon) | ₹1.97 lakh | ₹2.00 lakh | ₹3,000 |
| Black Gold | ₹2.16 lakh | ₹2.18 lakh | ₹2,000 |
| Military Silver | ₹1.79 lakh | – | Discontinued |
Mechanically the Same, But Updates are Brewing
The Bullet 350 continues with its trusted 349cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, delivering 20.2hp and 27Nm of torque. That familiar thump, that old-school power delivery – it’s all still there.
However, there’s one exciting update coming soon – the inclusion of a slip/assist clutch, a feature already seen on the Hunter 350. This will make the Bullet more user-friendly in city traffic and reduce clutch fatigue on long rides. It’s not flashy, but it’s practical – just like the Bullet.
Conclusion: A Little Costlier, But Still a Lot of Bullet
Let’s be honest – the Royal Enfield Bullet 350 is more than just a motorcycle. It’s a piece of history that still lives and breathes on Indian roads. The recent price bump doesn’t change that. It’s minor and justified given rising costs and the addition of a new variant.
So, if you’ve been dreaming of parking this legend in your garage, it’s still a great time. The Bullet remains as rugged, raw, and rooted as ever – only now, it’s a little bit more refined and future-ready.
