The Hunter 350, Bullet 350 and Classic 350 are the three major volume drivers of Royal Enfield in India. With the Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate rationalisation, all three models are now cheaper than the new Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is priced between Rs 1,49,900 and Rs 2,29,900. In comparison, the Hunter 350, Bullet 350 and Classic 350 can be had in the price range of Rs 1,37,640 and Rs 2,15,750 (ex-showroom).
Although buyers will need to pay certain other charges like the road tax, registration fee and insurance premium over the ex-showroom price, they can still get any of the three motorcycles for an on-the-road (OTR) price of less than Rs 2,29,900, barring some of the top-spec variants of the Bullet 350 and the Classic 350.
Under the GST 2.0 regime, motorcycles with an engine capacity of up to 350cc are in the 18% slab. They were in the 28% bracket during the GST 1.0 regime. Due to lower GST, the ex-showroom price of such motorcycles has decreased.
For reference, the Royal Enfield Hunter 350, Royal Enfield Bullet 350 and Royal Enfield Classic 350 employ the same J-Series, single-cylinder, 4-stroke, air-oil cooled engine, which develops 20.2bhp and 27Nm. The engine is mated to a 5-speed gearbox.
Due to GST rate rationalisation, the ex-showroom price of Royal Enfield's sub-350cc motorcycles has decreased by 8.2%. The new prices will become effective from September 22.
