Now, Royal Enfield Bullet 350 also gets a rear disc brake. The rear disc variant comes at a price of Rs 1.28 Lakhs (ex-showroom). It does not get an optional ABS feature.
Royal Enfield has started updating its bikes to meet up with upcoming safety norms. Classic 500 and Himalayan have already received ABS safety feature. The first one to receive was the Classic Signals 350. However, the Classic 350 and Bullet series came with a front disc brake only. Recently, Royal Enfield launched the rear disc brake across all variants of Classic 350. Now, it has been introduced in Bullet 350 too. The prices start at Rs 1.28 Lakhs (ex-showroom prices), which goes up to Rs 1.54 Lakhs on-road.
Royal Enfield Bullet 350 now comes with a 280mm front disc brake and a 240mm rear disc brake. Although it is not announced officially, an IAB reader found it out at a dealership. He has also done a walkaround video of the same. Barring the new swingarm suspension and addition of a rear disc brake, everything else remains pretty same.
