Six colours, different prices, but the same vibe all along! Here's which colour you should choose…
The Royal Enfield Bullet 350 has been one of India's favourite motorcycles, and has a cult-like following over the years.
The Royal Enfield bike is available in six colour schemes, and each one carries a different price tag. Interestingly, the bottom three colour variants come equipped with single-channel ABS, while the top three get dual-channel ABS. But all of them share the same J-series, counterbalanced 349cc engine. Let's look at what colour options are available on the Bullet 350 and decode them in detail:
Battalion Black
Price: Rs 1,63,783 (ex-showroom, Chennai)
This is the most affordable Bullet 350 in the lineup and the only colour option to get the traditional rectangular taillight (found in older generation Bullets). It also gets the classic long, sharply contoured single-piece seat. It also comes with single-channel ABS. Finished in an all-black theme with a 3D Royal Enfield tank badge and golden pinstriping. Battalion Black keeps things simple and purposeful. If you want the purest, most old-school Bullet experience at the lowest price point, this is the one you should go for.
Military Black
Price: Rs 1,64,423 (ex-showroom, Chennai)
The Military Black colour scheme is priced slightly higher than Battalion Black and also gets single-channel ABS. It features a slightly different shade of black as compared to the Battalion Black colour. More importantly, it gets a simple Royal Enfield logo sticker on the fuel tank. Also, this along with the blacked-out rims, giving it a simple, understated look. While it retains the old-school vibe, it does not get the rectangular taillight or the traditional Bullet seat — those remain exclusive to the base variant. That said, the ribbed seat and the circular taillight still look retro enough.
Military Red
Price: Rs 1,64,424 (ex-showroom, Chennai)
Just Re 1 more than Military Black, the Military Red shade also comes with single-channel ABS. The base colour is exactly the same as the MIlitary Black. The only difference is that the fuel tank alone is painted in red. Even the stickers are the same as the Military Black colour scheme. It's ideal for riders who want a splash of brightness while keeping the mechanical simplicity of the lower variants.
Standard Black
Price: Rs 1,87,083 (ex-showroom, Chennai)
This is exactly the same as the base Battalion Black paint scheme, but here, the bike gets the more modern ribbed seat, circular taillight design and a rear disc brake with dual-channel ABS. Consequently, the rear brake pedal design is also different. If you want the classiness of the Battalion Black colour variant but in a more modern package, this is the one you should go for.
Standard Maroon
Price: Rs 1,87,083 (ex-showroom, Chennai)
Priced the same as the Standard Black, the Standard Maroon also comes equipped with dual-channel ABS. The rich maroon paint with chrome detailing enhances the Bullet's iconic silhouette and gives it a more elegant, classic road presence. It also looks tastefully retro, and will appeal to those who want the Bullet's charm in a more unique shade.
Black Gold
Price Rs 2,04,434 (ex-showroom, Chennai)
Yes, there's yet another black! However, for this one, Royal Enfield has turned the darkness to the max thanks to fully matte black powertrain with complementing blacked-out spoke rims. The 3D badging, pin-stripes and side panel logos are the same as the one on the Battalion Black. It also gets the modern seat profile, along with a circular tail lamp, rear disc with dual-channel ABS. While this colour scheme looks really premium while also being subtle, it comes at a massive premium of Rs 17,351 over the variant before.
So while the heart of the Bullet remains the same, in our opinion, our favourite pick is the Standard Maroon paint scheme. It looks gorgeous, has all the basic features in place, and doesn't cost a bomb either.
For a long time, the Royal Enfield Bullet was the cheapest Royal Enfield bike, up until the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 came into the picture. If you're confused between the two, here's a detailed Bullet vs Hunter 350 comparison to help make things clear.
