- Two new colours launched recently
- New colours get silver pinstripes
- Priced at Rs. 1.79 lakh
Royal Enfield recently launched two new colour options for its oldest-running motorcycle, the Bullet 350. Now, the modern-classic roadster is available in a total of seven paint schemes.
The most expensive colour variant, called Black Gold, gets blacked-out body panels, engine casing and exhaust along with hand-painted golden pinstripes on the fuel tank and side panels. It costs Rs. 2.16 lakh. A notch lower are the Standard Black and Standard Maroon trims which also feature pinstripes but the engine casing and exhaust are finished in chrome. These are priced at Rs. 1.97 lakh.
Moving further down the ladder are the new Military SilverRed and Military SilverBlack colours that cost Rs. 1.79 lakh. These variants sport silver pinstripes on their body panels accompanied by chrome-finished components. Pegged at Rs. 1.73 lakh are the most affordable Military Black and Military Red colours which miss out on the pinstripes.
The Bullet 350 shares its entire hardware package with the Classic 350, except for a few elements such as the handlebar and the seat. Powering the bike is a 349cc, air-cooled engine that produces 20.2bhp and 27Nm and comes mated to a five-speed gearbox. Underpinned by a double cradle frame, it rides on a 19-18-inch spoke wheel combination that is suspended by telescopic forks and dual springs. Braking is handled by a disc-drum combo while the top-end trim features disc brake at both ends.
