The Royal Enfield Bullet has been in continuous production since the 1950s. The 2025 model now uses a 349 cc SOHC fuel‑injected engine with a counter-balancer for smoother low-end torque and reduced vibrations. This all-new J-platform Bullet 350 retains the familiar styling while offering better ride quality than ever before


Engine, Performance and Refinement

Key engine specs include:

  • 349 cc single-cylinder, air‑oil-cooled motor
  • Maximum power around 20 PS @ 6,100 rpm and peak torque of 27 Nm @ 4,000 rpm
  • Five-speed gearbox, typically with a cable clutch
  • Smooth power delivery and a characteristic thump
  • Cruising speed range: 50–70 km/h ideal for relaxed rides

Despite modern updates, the Bullet 350 now feels noticeably more refined. Owners report less vibration in the city and on the highway thanks to engine tuning and a balancing shaft

These features bring much-needed safety and convenience to the vintage-styled Bullet.


Pricing, Variants & Market Reception

Royal Enfield offers the Bullet 350 in four variants:

  • Base and Military variants come with single-channel ABS and drum rear brake

The Riding Experience: Owners’ Voices

On review forums, Bullet riders appreciate its relaxed ride style:

“It’s perfected for cruising at 50–70 km/h with that bassy thump. For relaxed rides, nothing else compares.”
