Royal Enfield Bullet Trials was launched in India back in March 2019 in two variants namely: Bullet Trials 350 and Bullet Trials 500. Both the scrambler motorcycles were launched as the modern versions of the Royal Enfield Bullet specifically to target more sales in the country. The recent reports suggest that the brand has failed to achieve its target to register a decent sales number for the Bullet Trials.

The enthusiasts remain true to liking the standard Bullet 350 and 500 variants, which are far more premium in terms of looks that shrieks of Royal Enfield’s decade-old heritage. The brand has also equipped the Trials with an upswept exhaust as well as sporty tyres though, the customers didn’t seem to appreciate the unique styling of the Bullet Trials. [caption id="attachment_466739" align="aligncenter" width="790"]Article image 2019 Royal Enfield Bullet Trials 500[/caption] To jog your memory, the Royal Enfield Bullet Trials 350 is powered by 346cc engine that is good for churning a maximum power of 19.8HP and a peak torque of 28Nm while the 499cc engine on the Bullet Trials 500 is good for 27.2HP of power and a maximum torque of 41.3Nm.
