The highly-awaited Royal Enfield Bullet 350 in the new-generation avatar will make its entry into India on August 30-September 1. Notably, the upcoming launch of the new Bullet 350 will mark the end of the longer-running 346cc UCE unit. With the update, the revised bike will harbor the new J-series engine, which currently does duty on its counterparts, including the Classic, the Meteor, the Hunter, and others. More exact details regarding the forthcoming model will likely emerge as the launch date draws close, however, industry reports reveal that the latest-generation Bullet 350 will get considerable improvements over its predecessor.
In the automaker’s lineup, the new Bullet 350 will sit beneath the Classic 350 and above the base Hunter 350 version. Upon launch, it will lock horns with the Jawa 42, the TVS Ronin, and other models.
