Royal Enfield has finally equipped the Bullet 350 with single-channel ABS. However, it still continues with a disc in the front and drum brakes at the back.
Royal Enfield has fully updated its lineup with ABS for the new safety regulations. The first one to be updated was the Classic Signals 350 and now, the last one is the Bullet 350, which has been just launched.
The entry-level Royal Enfield now gets single-ABS as standard fitment. A disc brake is equipped at the front, whereas a drum brake with Rear Lift-off Protection (RLP) comes at the back.
The prices have not been officially revealed, but Autocar India has leaked its prices. The Bullet 350 ES goes for Rs 1.35 Lakhs and the regular Bullet is priced at Rs 1.21 Lakhs (prices ex-showroom Delhi).

The regular Bullet receives a price hike of Rs 3500, whereas the ES is now costlier by just Rs 1400. The hikes are negligible in comparison to that of other RE models,
However, a couple of months back, the complete Bullet Series was spotted with the dual-disc setup. Bullet ES with rear disc brakes started arriving at the showrooms, but without ABS. Now, it gets front and rear discs with ABS only at the front.
Rear Lift-off protection (RLP) is a cheaper alternative to ABS, which prevents the bike from taking a ‘Stoppie’ position while applying sudden brakes.

Other than that, there are no further updates. It continues with the same 346cc air-cooled engine that is tuned to deliver 19 BHP and 28 Nm of peak torque. The motor comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox.
For suspension purposes, it uses telescopic forks at the front and regular twin-shock absorbers at the back. Not much has changed on the Bullet 350 in these years.
However, for the upcoming BS-6 emission norms, Royal Enfield will equip all its models with fuel-injection system. Currently, only Himalayan is available with FI, the rest of them come with Carburettor.
