On the other hand, the Trials 500 is powered by 499cc engine good for 27.2 Bhp of maximum power and 41.3 Nm of peak torque.

As per one of the recent updates, to make the Bullet Trials appeal to the customers, some of the Royal Enfield dealerships across India have converted them into regular RE Classic series. The motorcycles now feature a regular exhaust system while featuring a split seat setup and a pillion grab rail.

Apart from these changes, the rest of the authentic detailing in the Trials Work Replica series has been kept intact.
