LAUNCHED : The Iconic Bullet with 500cc powerplant
Royal Enfield (RE) has launched another new model, the BULLET 500.
RE has pumped up its iconic brand Bullet with a new 499cc carbureted Unit Construction Engine (UCE), the same that powers the Classic 500 but without Fuel Injection (FI)
The new Bullet 500 produces 26.1 bhp@5100rpm and a mind blowing torque of 40.9Nm@3800rpm. Now cruise on any road no matter how smooth/rough/steep. No sweat!
Price :
The new Bullet is priced at 1.53 lakhs ex-showroom price throughout the country. At first the bike will be available in only select locations and after the production takes pace it will be available in all the regions.
Lets compare it with its other siblings :
As you can see from the price list. The Bullet 500 is the cheapest 500cc RE bike you can buy
Features :
Electric Start
All the latest bullets now come with Electric start. This one is no exception. This is a big relief for those new to the RE bikes and also those who do not wish to injure their legs due to the mighty strong kick-back from the engine if you do not properly perform the kick and mind you it really takes a lot for leg-power to start a Bullet!!
Tiger Eyes
The pilot lamps adds style and are practical. RE likes to call them as Tiger Eyes. All the electricals in the new Bullet is powered by a 12V DC battery, including the headlamps and pilot-lamps. So you get a stable luminosity and its not depended on the engine revs any more.
500cc Engine
The iconic Bullet gets the biggest engne available from RE. Single-cylindered 4-stroke twin-spark air-cooled 499cc engine which produces 26.1 bhp@5100rpm and 40.9Nm@3800rpm. The fuel supply system is Carburettor with Throttle Position Sensor
Cushioned Grab Rails
