We expect the new Bullet to be priced around or under Rs. 1.75 lakh

In terms of cycle parts, the Bullet is expected to get the double-cradle chassis setup from the Classic 350 along with an updated suspension. The motorcycle is also expected to be equipped with thicker tyres, which will most likely consist of a 100 section unit up front and a 120 section unit at the rear. The leaked documents have also revealed that the base variant of the motorcycle will have single-channel ABS and a drum brake at the rear while the other two variants will have dual-channel ABS and disc brakes at the rear. 

The motorcycle will be equipped with Royal Enfield’s single-cylinder, 349 cc, SOHC engine, which churns out 20.2 bhp at 6,100 rpm and 27 Nm of peak torque at 4,000 rpm. The engine will come mated to a 5-speed gearbox. 

Will all the changes, we expect the new Bullet to be priced around or under Rs. 1.75 lakh (ex-showroom) making it slightly more expensive than the outgoing model, but nevertheless, one of the more affordable motorcycles in the brand’s lineup.
