Mechanically, Royal Enfield Bullet 350 BS6 is powered by an updated version of existing 346cc single cylinder engine. It gets the fuel injection technology and churns out maximum power output of 19.1bhp at 5250rpm and peak torque performance of 28Nm at 4000rpm. The engine is linked to a 5-speed gearbox. In compliance with the BS6 emission norms, the company has equipped the motorcycle with a larger cat-con in the exhaust header pipe.
