Royal
Enfield has renamed the Royal Enfield Electra to Royal Enfield Bullet 350 ES.
Thus, the Electra as such has not been discontinued, but has been categorised
under the Standard Street Bullet branding, thus reducing ambiguity among
buyers.
The
Royal Enfield Bullet 350 is available as the Bullet 350 in Black shade, and the
Bullet 350 ES in Black, Silver, Maroon and Blue shades. The main difference
between the Bullet 350 ES and the Bullet 350 is the availability of electric
start on the former.
The
Bullet 350 and Bullet 350 ES use a single-cylinder, four-stroke, Twinspark,
air-cooled, 346 cc engine capable of 19.8 bhp at 5,250 rpm and 28 Nm of torque
at 4,000 rpm, matched to a 5-speed gearbox.
The
Royal Enfield Bullet 350 and Bullet 350 ES use telescopic, 35 mm forks with 130
mm travel up front. At the back, the Bullet 350 gets twin shock absorbers with
5-step adjustable preload and 80 mm travel, whereas the Bullet 350 ES gets twin
gas-charged shock absorbers with 5-step adjustable preload but the same 80 mm
travel.
There
are minor specification differences too among the motorcycles. Where the Bullet
350 measures 800 mm in width, the Bullet 350 ES measures 810 mm, and in terms
of height, the Bullet 350 is 1,030 mm while the Bullet 350 ES is 1,120 mm.
Finally, in terms of kerb weight, the Bullet 350 weighs 180 kg, whereas the
Bullet 350 ES is 7 kg heavier.
