The Royal Enfield Bullet 350 has always been a favourite among bike enthusiasts for its timeless design and the signature 'dug-dug' exhaust note. The 2023 model maintains the model's classic charm, whilst incorporating numerous contemporary upgrades and features to meet the needs of present-day riders. Here’s all you need to know about the bike:

Nothing much has been changed in terms of the overall design of the bike.
