Royal Enfield announced a price hike across its popular motorcycles, including Bullet 350 and Classic 350. The RE Continental GT 650 and Interceptor 650 have also received a price hike this month.

Royal Enfield Bullet 350

After the price revision, the base variant of the Royal Enfield Bullet 350 costs INR 1,47,999, while the kickstart variant is available at a price of INR 1,54,674. The RE Bullet 350 electric start variant’s new price is INR 1,63,338. All prices are ex-showroom.

Powering the RE Bullet 350 is a 346cc air-cooled fuel-injected engine that produces a peak power of 19.1 hp@5,250 rpm and a max torque of 28 Nm@4,000 rpm. A 5-speed constant mesh transmission is on offer.

Royal Enfield Classic 350

Launched at a price of INR 1.84 lakh, the Royal Enfield Classic 350 received a price hike earlier and was available at a price of INR 1.87 lakh (both prices are ex-showroom).

This is the second time the Classic 350 received a price hike and now retails at INR 1.90 lakh (ex-showroom). The top-spec variant is now costlier by INR 6,000 and possesses a price tag of INR 2.21 lakh (ex-showroom).

Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 and Interceptor 650

The brand has also increased the prices for its 650cc twins – the Continental GT 650 and Interceptor 650. Now both the motorcycles are expensive by INR 3,000 to INR 5,000. After the price revision, the Interceptor 650 price ranges from INR 2.88 lakh to INR 3.15 lakh (ex-showroom), while the Continental GT 650 is now available at a price between INR 3.06 lakh to INR 3.32 lakh (ex-showroom).

Royal Enfield has not revealed the reason for the price hike, however, we can expect it to be ongoing semiconductor shortage and rising input costs. A few days back, the brand removed the Tripper navigation pod from the standard fitments for Himalayan and Meteor and now offers it as an optional accessory.

Besides, the brand is rigorously working to introduce the new-gen Classic 350, Himalayan 450, Super Meteor 650, Shotgun 650, Classic 650 and updated Bullet 350 in the Indian market by 2023.
