In a piece of good news for all the Royal Enfield enthusiasts, the automaker will launch the highly-anticipated Bullet 350 on August 30. The Royal Enfield Bullet 350 is all set to capture the essence of its iconic predecessor. The Bullet 350 was initially spotted more than a year ago, hinting a resemblance to the current-generation Bullet 350.
Royal Enfield Bullet 350 - Design
Royal Enfield will probably make minor modifications here and there, similar to what it did with the Classic 350, but won't modify the integral design. The original Bullet's brand name, exhaust sound, and appearance is what made it so popular in India.

Royal Enfield Bullet 350 - Performance
The new-generation Royal Enfield Bullet 350 will be based on RE’s J-series platform. The 350cc engine that powers the Hunter 350, Classic 350, and Meteor 350 will also be used in the new Bullet 350. This motor produces around 20 bhp and 27 Nm of peak torque. The new Bullet 350's overall performance output won't alter, and the same five-speed gearbox will be used.
Royal Enfield Bullet 350 - Exhaust
Previous Bullet models were renowned for their strong exhaust noise. This specific characteristic helped the motorcycle become widely recognised and appealing. There's a strong possibility that the new Bullet 350 will have the most distinctive exhaust sound. However, it is noticeable from the teaser video that the Bullet 350 does make a gravelly sound when idling.
