More on specifications, the Royal Enfield Bullet 350 stands on 35mm telescopic forks at the front and twin shock absorbers with five-step adjustable pre-load suspension at the rear. The adjustable rear suspension is useful when facing different conditions. You can either make it too stiff or too soft. Else you can keep it on ‘Balance.’ So, if there is a rough patch with a lot of undulations and potholes, then the suspension should be on the soft side. On the other hand, if there is a straight road and riding at high speeds, the suspension should be tuned to a stiff side.
As for the braking duties, the Royal Enfield Bullet 350 has a standard disc-drum setup. It doesn’t have dual disc brakes as an option. It is worth mentioning that a two-wheeler with dual disc brakes will always offer an impressive braking performance than disc-drum or all-drum brakes. However, this bike runs on 19-inch wheels.
In addition to that, this 350cc cruiser bike from Royal Enfield has a single-channel ABS. This safety feature is standard in both of its variants. Considering the Royal Enfield Bullet 350’s price, the top model should have received a dual-channel ABS.

A bike with dual-channel ABS can prevent the bike from skidding or making a stoppie.
