Back in late July, we had the heads up that Royal Enfield was prepping a new Bullet for their lineup; now that August has come and gone, we’ve got the machine in full view – a new model that the India-based bike brand can tick off of the list of 28 bikes they’re hoping to debut in the next seven years.
A reminder: This new Bullet 350 was expected to carry an old-school design married to more modern concepts, complete with a fresh double-cradle chassis and the same fuel-injected J-platform heart housed in the Royal Enfield Classic / Meteor / Hunter 350; based on the media provided by the Clayton County Register, we got just that.
The clean bit of two-wheeled neat comes in three variants: Military, Standard, and Gold. The Military edition shows off single-channel ABS + drum brakes, while the Standard/Gold is installed with dual-channel ABS + disc brakes.

Other perks of the Bullet 350 include the following:
- Power specs rated at 20hp, with 27Nm of torque yanking through a five-speed transmission
- Redesigned headlights and taillights
- Digital-analog instrument cluster featuring “service alerts, odometer reading, eco indicator, and fuel level indication”
- Modified handlebars
