Fresh reports reveal that Royal Enfield Bullet Trials might be launched this month, probably next week. It will be available in 350cc and 500cc engines as a limited edition variant.
A couple of months back, we spotted an unusual looking Royal Enfield bike testing on the Indian roads. It was based on the Bullet 500 and also carried its batching on the battery box.
Apparently, Royal Enfield is launching Bullet Trials edition, which is the spotted test mule. Gaadiwaadi reveals that it will be launched on 12th March, as a limited edition model.
Royal Enfield Bullet Trials was available globally in the early 2000s. It was basically a Scrambler-looking version of the Bullet series. The company had launched it as a an additional variant to the regular Bullet.

Bullet Trials gets telescopic front forks with rubber gaiters, upswept exhaust, a raised rear mudguard, a single seat, luggage rack at the back and dual-purpose tires with spoked rims.
The fuel tank and the logo seems to be inspired from the newly launched Interceptor 650. Bullet Trials will be available in Chrome colour options only, as a complete Nostalgia motorcycle.
We expect the Trials Edition to get 350cc and 500cc options. While we have only spotted the 500cc variant, reports confirm that it will be available with the other engine.

Probably like the Pegasus edition, Royal Enfield might only take online bookings and sell it only in limited numbers. The engine and frame will be taken from Bullet 350, just with some visual changes and minor equipment difference.
Bullet Trials will use the same 346cc air-cooled TwinSpark engine, that is capable of producing 19.1 BHP and 27 Nm of peak torque. The motor comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox.
The 500cc engine, obviously, will be borrowed from Bullet, Classic and Thunderbird 500cc variants. The 499cc air-cooled engine delivers 27 BHP and 41.3 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox.

Both the variants will be equipped with a dual-channel ABS unit. We expect the Bullet Trials to demand a premium of Rs 10000-15000 over the regular Bullet variants. The Trials 500 will definitely cross Rs 2 Lakhs (ex-showroom price).
