Apart from the change in colour palette, 2025 Royal Enfield Bullet 350 remains unchanged with identical mechanicals and retro charm
Despite the advancements in design trends and appeals in the motorcycling industry, Bullet 350 has been a shiny beacon of retro and vintage. It has thrived beyond expectations and continues to offer similar retro charm of the yesteryears filled with nostalgia.
At the beginning of calendar year 2025, Royal Enfield seems to have rejigged the colour palette of Bullet 350. The company has de-listed Military Silver shade from official website, while other colouts were retained. This suggests that Military Silver might have been discontinued owing to low demand. Let’s take a closer look.
Bullet 350 Colours Updated
At launch in September 2023, Royal Enfield offered the new Bullet 350 in three main category of colours. At the lower end, we had Military Red and Military Black priced at Rs 1.73 lakh (Ex-sh). Standard Maroon and Standard Black at mid level priced at Rs 1.97 lakh (Ex-sh). Lastly, we had Black Gold at the top, priced at Rs 2.16 lakh (Ex-sh).
Military Silver was a fourth group of colours (or trim level, if you may) Royal Enfield introduced with Bullet 350 in January 2024 for Rs 1.79 lakh (Ex-sh). This Military Silver trim was positioned above Military trim and below Standard trims. It featured attractive Silver pinstriping on fuel tank and side body panels, that brought a certain panache and pop.
Military trim didn’t get any sort of pinstriping, while Military Silver offered Silver pinstriping. However, things got more interesting when Royal Enfield decided to launch Bullet 350 Battallion Black colour in India in September 2024. We say interesting because it was launched at Rs 1.74 lakh (Ex-sh).
Not only was Battallion Black more affordable than Military Silver, but it featured Gold pinstriping on fuel tank and side body panels as well. Also, Battalion Black gets the more sophisticated 3D Royal Enfield logo that offers a visual pop and a retro charm, which Military Silver couldn’t match.
The retro factor of Bullet 350 was increased with Battallion Black shade, as it featured the iconic stepped seat and the retro tail light design from Bullets of the yesteryears. This might have been a nail in the coffin for Military Silver shade, leading to a discontinuation after around 1 year since it was introduced.
Any other changes?
Apart from the discontinuation of Military Silver Black and Military Silver Red colours from the palette, there are no real changes with 2025 Royal Enfield Bullet 350. It still gets ‘Tiger Eyes’ pilot lights, a semi-digital instrument cluster and is powered by the same J-Series engine. This 349cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine makes 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm, mated to a 5-speed gearbox.
