  Royal Enfield Bullet 500 EFI Introduced; Priced At Rs 1.62 Lakh

  The fuel-injected Royal Enfield Bullet 500 now meets Bharat Stage 4 (BS IV) emission regulations which came into effect from 1 April 2017. The recent Supreme Court order banning the manufacture, sale and even registration of any vehicle not meeting these regulations meant Royal Enfield had to update those models which did not meet the BS 4 emissions criteria.

The Royal Enfield Bullet 500 is now available in three shades - Marsh Grey, Forest Green and Black.
