The Royal Enfield Bullet 350 (1955) was one of the earliest models assembled in India by Enfield India Ltd. at Madras (now Chennai), under license from Royal Enfield, UK. With a teardrop fuel tank, hand-painted pinstripes, a sprung single saddle, and a simple tubular steel frame, its design maintained the traditional British aesthetic while remaining stylish and functional. Together with a 4-speed transmission, the 346 cc air-cooled OHV engine produced steady torque that was perfect for Indian road conditions. The manufacturing process started with a combination of imported CKD (completely knocked down) kits before switching to locally made parts with precise machining for the suspension, frame, and engine. It had drum brakes, 19-inch spoke wheels, a swingarm rear suspension with twin shock absorbers (a novel feature at the time), and telescopic front forks. The 1955 Bullet 350 established Royal Enfield's long-standing relationship with India by becoming a symbol of dependability for both military and civilian applications thanks to its strong build, booming exhaust tone, and exceptional low-end torque.
