Today we are back with a new comparison of the Classic 350 and the Bullet 350. We will compare both bikes and discuss their new prices after the GST price cut, as we have the updated list. I have to admit that bullet 350 vs classic 350 is the most requested topic on out blog, sorry for the delay but i will not disappoint you.
Exterior Comparison
Classic 350 has smooth vintage look that reminds me of older black and white movie era. i personally loves its classic look i also have RX100 so i am more of a classic vintage bike guy. The Matte Black color of Classic 350 is the best choice you will ever made. It’s just look perfect with engine’s blackout finish and chrome highlights.
Flip to the top-end Chrome version, and that green-blue shade they are also good looking colors we get in Classic 350. Overall this feels like owning a bit of history, but updated.
On the other hand we have Bullet 350, i personally feel that this is an no-nonsense design offered by Royal Enfield. During my test drive, the raised bars let me sit back easy, like the bike’s got my posture covered.
Spokes and tube tires give it that old-school edge, and on the Black Gold trim, the silver engine shine plus chrome pipe really pops. Metal everywhere—no flimsy bits—and it holds up tough against our bumpy streets.
The badges nail it: curvy “Classic” versus bold “Bullet.” Seats? Classic’s split one’s softer for you and your buddy behind, but Bullet’s thick single slab feels rock-solid for longer hauls.
Power and How It Feels
Engine comparison is my favourite part, both of these bikes provide same 349 cc single-cylinder setup along with air-cooled tech on Bullet 350 and oil cooled on Classic 350. On both of them you’re getting 20.2 bhp around 6100 revs and 27 Nm torque kicking in early at 4000—plenty for zipping through city chaos or settling into a highway groove. EFI keeps fuel flowing smooth, and I clocked about 32 kmpl in mixed Pune traffic, close to the claimed 35 for Classic or 37 for Bullet.
Gears are quite refined you dont need to downshift oftenly as it handle the performance in the low end pull too. Five speeds slot in nicely, though I missed the Classic’s tweakable levers on higher trims during my ride—the Bullet’s fixed ones work fine but feel basic.
And the sound—oh, that deep RE growl from the exhaust? Identical on both, vibrating right through you at stops but fading into a comforting hum once you’re rolling.
Tech Features
Here’s where the Classic 350 has a little edge. Its LED headlight with those DRL strips cuts through dusk better than anything, and the dash? Semi-digital with an analog speedo hitting 160 km/h, plus a screen for trips, fuel, and mileage. You also get bluetooth connectivity on Classic 350 which is useful for navigation, calls, text messages and every other notification.
Bullet 350 on the other hand keeps it simpler, you get halogen bulb up front, same dash style but no built-in nav (add it after market if you want).
Its Switches are spot-on—easy flips for lights, hazards, horn—no fancy stuff, just reliable. Brakes match up with 300 mm front discs and ByBre clamps (dual-piston action), 270 mm rear on better variants, all backed by dual-channel ABS that bites without fuss.
I personally like that Bullet 350 has a saree guard as an standard. I feel Bullet is all about practicality and while Classic is about little modern vintage bike.
Price Breakdown
With GST rates slashed both of these bike are now become less costlier. Classic 350 Stealth back now cost 2,21,000 ex showroom and base model cost around 1.81 lakh ex-showroom.
Bullet 350 on the other hand cost 1.62 lakh for base model while top model cost around 2.02 lakh—on-road 2.56 lakh.
