The new retro-modern Bullet Classic has been launched with the 350cc Twinspark and the all-new 500cc unit-construction engine.
Royal Enfield has launched its retro thumper, the Bullet Classic. The bike that harks back to Enfield’s classic British motorcycle design has been launched with two engine options. The Bullet Classic 350 will come fitted with the same engine that was seen on the Thunderbird TwinSpark, with unit construction and a carburetor. The variant will cost Rs 98,000 ex-showroom Delhi. Accompanying it will be the Bullet Classic 500, which will come fitted with RE’s internationally available 500cc fuel-injected unit construction engine.
The Bullet Classic 500 has been priced at Rs 1.24 lakhs, ex-showroom Delhi. The design of the bike will be its obvious USP, with its simple and sensuous lines, and that smartly upswept exhaust. Vintage bike cues abound on the Classic, with its spring loaded split seat, thigh pads, headlamp hood and old Royal Enfield graphics on the tank. Modern elements that will add to the practicality of the bike are present too, like the gas-charged shock absorbers.
A shift from 19-inch wheel to 18-inchers will also allow riders to choose from a larger variety of aftermarket tyres.
