New-gen Royal Enfield Bullet 350
The Royal Enfield Bullet 350 is set to receive an upgrade with a new generation model on the horizon. The upcoming version will feature significant improvements to its design, powertrain, and platform.

This motor delivers a peak power of 20.2bhp and 27Nm of torque. The bike's retro-styled headlamp with chrome accents will remain, as will the classic tear-drop fuel tank, wire-spoke wheels, flat handlebar, and single-sided exhaust canister. The new model will also feature a single-piece seat with better lumbar support.
Royal Enfield Shotgun 350 Bobber
According to media reports, there are speculations that the upcoming 350cc bobber from Royal Enfield might be named 'Shotgun 350'. This motorcycle will be powered by the same engine as the Meteor, which is a 346cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. It will feature conventional telescopic front forks and twin shock absorbers at the rear for suspension. The bike will be equipped with disc and drum brakes and a single-channel ABS. The expected price of the new Royal Enfield 350cc bobber is around 2 lakh, and it will compete with the Jawa Perak and Jawa 42 Bobber.
