The new Bullet Trials 350 and 500 aren’t breakthrough motorcycles. Not really, but heritage sells, and who’d know better about that than Royal Enfield? For now, RE only offers one colour each for the Trials; the 500 gets chrome-on-silver bodywork on an olive-green chassis, while the 350 gets just a silver coat on a candy-red chassis. Off the road, which is primarily where we’re riding, the Trials 500 benefits from its inherently ample spread of torque and it surely expresses no qualms about chugging along whilst taking a beating. All things considered, the Bullet 500 Trials is gimmicky, experimental and undoubtedly niche, but it will appeal to a sliver of RE aspirants.
