Royal Enfield Bullet 350: Onroad Prices In September 2026
Darshan Aher · 18 September 2026
The Royal Enfield Bullet 350 carries a name that's been on Indian roads in one form or another since the 1930s, and its current generation — built on the same modern platform underpinning the Classic and Hunter 350 — remains one of Royal Enfield's steadiest sellers. September 2026 finds its pricing in a relatively settled place after a genuinely eventful stretch: a GST-driven price cut, followed by two separate rounds of small price increases over the following months. Here's what it actually costs to bring one home today, in your city specifically.
Ex-Showroom Price by Variant
The Bullet 350 is offered across four variants: Base, Battalion Black, Mid, and Top. The Base variant starts at roughly ₹1,65,656, ex-showroom, with the higher trims climbing from there. It's worth knowing that this pricing hasn't been static this year — Royal Enfield cut prices on the Bullet 350 by up to ₹18,000 following September 2025's GST rate reduction, only to subsequently raise prices back up in two smaller separate increments since, the most recent adding roughly ₹2,000 to ₹3,000 depending on variant.
On-Road Price: Why It Varies So Much by City
This is the part of buying a Bullet 350 that catches a lot of first-time buyers off guard: on-road pricing doesn't move in lockstep across India, because RTO (registration) tax rates differ substantially state to state. For the Bullet 350 specifically, RTO charges work out to roughly 8 percent of the vehicle's value in Delhi, 12 percent in Mumbai, 15 percent in Hyderabad, and a considerably steeper 18 percent in Bangalore. That's a genuinely wide spread, and it means the exact same motorcycle, at the exact same ex-showroom price, can cost meaningfully different amounts to actually ride away depending on where you register it.
| City | Approx. RTO Rate | Approx. On-Road Price (Base Variant) |
|---|---|---|
| Delhi | ~8% | ~₹1,90,457 |
| Mumbai | ~12% | ~₹1,98,000 – ₹2,02,000 (est.) |
| Hyderabad | ~15% | ~₹2,02,000 |
| Bangalore | ~18% | ~₹2,08,000 – ₹2,12,000 (est.) |
Delhi and Hyderabad figures are directly reported by pricing trackers as of September 2026; Mumbai and Bangalore figures are estimated using their respective RTO rates applied against the base ex-showroom price, and should be treated as approximate rather than confirmed.
On-Road Price Across the Full Variant Range: Hyderabad Example
For a sense of how pricing spreads across the full variant lineup rather than just the base model, Hyderabad's on-road pricing offers a useful reference: across all four variants, the Bullet 350 currently ranges from approximately ₹2.02 lakh to ₹2.60 lakh, on-road. That roughly ₹58,000 gap between the entry-level Base variant and the fully-specced Top variant gives a reasonable sense of what you're paying for as you move up the range, even before accounting for city-specific RTO differences.
What You're Actually Buying
Underneath the pricing, the current-generation Bullet 350 shares its twin-downtube steel cradle frame with the Classic 350 and Hunter 350, giving it a platform that's been well proven across Royal Enfield's lineup. It runs a 349cc single-cylinder engine, with a more relaxed riding geometry than its Hunter and Classic siblings, thanks to a 19-inch front wheel and 18-inch rear — a setup tuned specifically for stability over outright agility, in keeping with the Bullet's classic, unhurried character.
- Suspension: A 41mm conventional front fork (non-adjustable) paired with preload-adjustable twin shocks at the rear.
- Brakes: A single 300mm front disc with a twin-piston sliding caliper, and a single 270mm rear disc with a single-piston slider caliper.
- Instrumentation: An analogue speedometer backed by a small digital LCD panel, covering fuel gauge, clock, two tripmeters, and odometer — a deliberately classic, uncluttered setup rather than a modern touchscreen.
- Seating: A single bench seat, styled for genuine two-up riding rather than a split arrangement.
What Owners Actually Say
Owner feedback on the current Bullet 350 leans strongly positive, with a few consistent themes coming up repeatedly. Several owners specifically highlight fuel efficiency as better than expected for a bike this size and build, along with a smooth, relaxed power delivery that makes both city traffic and long highway stretches genuinely comfortable rather than tiring. The bike's stability and planted feel on uneven roads also draws consistent praise, with owners noting that its weight and balance actually work in its favour on rough surfaces rather than against it. One recurring sentiment across reviews is a genuine appreciation for the Bullet's "classic thump" character — the distinctive engine feel that's remained central to the nameplate's appeal for generations of riders.
A Note on Where the Bullet 350 Sits in Royal Enfield's Range
The Bullet 350 isn't Royal Enfield's cheapest model in India — that distinction currently belongs to the Hunter 350, which starts at ₹1.38 lakh. It's also worth knowing that the current Bullet 350 is a genuinely different motorcycle from the earlier 2019-2023 generation, which was priced considerably lower, at ₹1.18 lakh, before being discontinued in September 2023. The version being sold today, built on the newer shared platform, represents a real step up in both mechanical package and price over that earlier bike, so comparisons to older pricing you might come across online are best set aside in favour of current figures.
The Bottom Line
Budgeting for a Bullet 350 in September 2026 means starting from roughly ₹1.65 lakh ex-showroom for the Base variant and adding anywhere from ₹25,000 to over ₹45,000 on top, depending almost entirely on which city you're registering it in — Delhi buyers get the best deal on RTO, while Bangalore buyers should expect to pay meaningfully more for the exact same motorcycle. Given how much Royal Enfield's pricing on this model has moved over just the past year, the smartest move before committing is a direct check with your local dealership on the current ex-showroom price, rather than relying on any single number found online, including this one, as gospel.
