2023 Royal Enfield Bullet 350 design

When it comes to updating the design of the Bullet 350, Royal Enfield has taken a conservative approach. The design of the motorcycle retains the classic and iconic appearance of the Bullet, which was first introduced in 1969. The main design changes are centred on the headlight lens, which is noticeably flatter than its predecessor, as well as a slightly modified teardrop-shaped fuel tank. In addition, the motorcycle has an elongated front fender and a unique single-piece seat. However, the majority of the bike's overall appearance is similar to the previous model. Classic elements such as the circular headlight, chrome accents, and an overall vintage design aesthetic are retained.

2023 Royal Enfield Bullet 350 chassis

Royal Enfield has used the same chassis setup that underpins the Classic 350 for this 2023 Bullet 350. For suspension, the motorcycle has 43mm telescopic front forks and dual rear shock absorbers. From the mid-variant onwards, both the front and rear wheels have disc brakes with dual-channel ABS for braking performance, with a 300mm disc at the front and a 270mm disc at the rear. It is worth noting that the base model has a rear drum brake unit and single-channel ABS. The front tyre is 100/90-19, while the rear tyre is 120/80-18.
