New Frame

The single downtube frame has now been replaced with a double downtube frame which was first introduced on the Meteor 350.

The motorcycle is suspended by telescopic forks at the front and twin shock absorbers at the back. The bike rides on wire-spoke wheels featuring a 100/90-R19 front tyre and a 120/80-R18 rear tyre.

The main highlight of the 2023 Bullet 350 is the powertrain. It now receives the J-series engine that already does duty on the Meteor 350, Classic 350 and the Hunter 350. The motor is a single-pot air-cooled SOHC mill that is capable of producing 20.2bhp and 27Nm and comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox.
