But, besides the fan-favorite Himalayan 450, Royal Enfield also introduced the updated Bullet 350 during the show.
New Bullet 350
The Royal Enfield Bullet 350 continues its legendary legacy in a new avatar. Over its remarkable lifespan of over 90 years, Bullets has undertaken almost every task imaginable being a trusted companion on every kind of trip, from weekend getaways to round-the-world adventures, employed as a dependable everyday motorcycle
and hardy workhorse, being used as a versatile platform for customization, going into battle, and being a loyal partner to more than a million passionate riders around the globe.
Commenting on the introduction of new motorcycles at the Makina Motor Show, Anuj Dua, Business Head of Asia Pacific markets, Royal Enfield said, “Royal Enfield has been committed to providing the best in motorcycling to our riders. The Bullet 350 is a perfect testament to this, it truly has been a perfect companion for riders of all generations. Pinstriped and handcrafted by three generations of artisans, the Bullet has retained its regal appeal without surrendering to fads and whims. The Philippines is a very important region for Royal Enfield, and we are grateful to the Filipino riders’ community for their love and support all these years. 2024 has been a pivotal year for Royal Enfield in the Philippines - starting with the New Himalayan and the Super Meteor 650, and now with the New Bullet, we have brought our global bestsellers to the Filipino rider.”
The New Bullet 350 is powered by the modern, globally acclaimed 349cc air-oil cooled single-cylinder engine that also powers the Meteor, Classic and Hunter. Fuel-injected, it produces about 20 PS of power at 6,100 rpm and 27 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. The Bullet also gets an all-new chassis for improved handling and maneuverability. Firmer
than on previous Bullets, it encourages confidence at higher cornering speeds and feels planted and stable on straight roads.
Built with a distinctive 13-litre, teardrop tank and the traditional Royal Enfield casquette that houses a new headlamp along with the signature ‘tiger eyes’ - pilot lights - an enduring feature on Royal Enfield motorcycles since 1954. More contemporary touches include the new digital-analog instrument cluster that houses an LCD information panel and a USB charging point mounted below the handlebar that is standard across variants. The rider’s controls have received special focus to ensure that the design, fit and finish are top class with beautifully styled rotary switch cubes that combine ease of use with eye-catching retro appeal.
The all-new Bullet 350 is released in two distinct editions and three colorways, all handcrafted with a premium finish that will delight. The Bullet Standard in Black or Maroon are fitted with dual channel ABS and rear discs, and are finished with elegant hand-pinstriped body-colored tanks and components as well as chrome and gold
