Royal Enfield teases new Bullet line-up; launch on Sep 1

Is Royal Enfield bringing back models like the Bullet 500 and Sixty 5?

Royal Enfield is all set to launch the Bullet 350 on September 1, 2023. However, in addition to this, the bike maker could also unveil three more bikes. A teaser released by the company on its website mentions the Bullet 500, Bullet Electra, and Bullet Sixty 5.

The new Bullet 350 will be based on the J-platform, which is shared with other 350cc models like the Classic and Meteor. The bike is likely to be offered in three variants: Base, Mid and Top.

The Bullet 350 will be powered by a revised 350cc single-cylinder long-stroke engine that develops 20.2 BHP @ 6,100 rpm and 27 Nm @ 4,000 rpm and will be paired with a new 5-speed gearbox. The Bullet Electra could use the same engine and gearbox combination.

Royal Enfield discontinued the Bullet 500 back in 2020, following the rollout of the BS6 emission regulations. However, it is available in the international market even today.

Details about the Bullet Sixty 5 are scarce. It was introduced in the early-2000s. Some say that the new model could be the rumoured 650cc version.

Thanks to Sachin for the heads-up!
