Specifications Of The Royal Enfield Bullet 350
For starters, let’s talk about the underpinning of the Bullet 350. So, as mentioned earlier, the Royal Enfield Bullet 350 is based on the same chassis as before but in a revamped form.

This single-cylinder, air- and oil-cooled engine is tuned to churn out 20.2 bhp at 6100 rpm and 27 Nm of peak torque at 4000 rpm.
This engine makes the rear wheel spin via a standard five-speed manual transmission. In addition, this transmission works in tandem with a wet multi-plate clutch. This clutch type offers smooth gear shifts and boasts better durability than the conventional clutch infrastructure.
