Royal Enfield Bullet 350 Pinstripe: Now starting with Battalion Black.
In a surprising move, Royal Enfield has decided to discontinue the Military Silver colour variants of its iconic Bullet 350 motorcycle in India. This decision marks the end of a short-lived yet memorable chapter in the Bullet 350’s storied history.
Introduced in January 2024, the Royal Enfield Military Silver Black and Military Silver Red variants quickly garnered attention for their unique aesthetic appeal. Priced at Rs 1.79 lakh (ex-showroom, India), these variants were Rs 6,000 more expensive than the most affordable Bullet 350 model. What set these colours apart were the hand-painted silver stripes on the fuel tank, a nod to Royal Enfield’s long-standing tradition of employing artists to add a touch of craftsmanship to their motorcycles.

The discontinuation of the Military Silver variants is likely a strategic move by Royal Enfield to make way for new colour options. The company has introduced the Battalion Black colour, which is expected to resonate strongly with Bullet purists. This new colour variant aims to uphold the timeless appeal of the Bullet 350 while offering something fresh and exciting for enthusiasts.
The Royal Enfield Bullet 350’s classic design is supported by a cradle frame, telescopic fork, and dual shock absorbers, providing a comfortable and stable ride. The current price range for the Bullet 350 starts at Rs 1.73 lakh for the base Military Black variant and extends to Rs 2.15 lakh for the top-spec Black Gold variant.

Despite the change in colour options, the core of the Royal Enfield Bullet 350 remains unchanged. The motorcycle is powered by a 349cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled, J-series engine that produces 20.2 bhp at 6,100 rpm and 27 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. This engine is paired with a five-speed gearbox, ensuring a smooth and reliable riding experience.
Competition and Market Position
In the competitive landscape, the Bullet 350 goes head-to-head with the Jawa 350 and the Honda H’ness CB350. Despite the fierce competition, the Bullet 350 continues to hold its ground, thanks to its rich heritage and loyal fan base.
