Royal Enfield embraces the UCE(unit construction engine) platform at the 2010 Indian Auto Expo
Royal Enfield is really turning up the heat with their new UCE engined creations all set to make a mighty impact on leisure motorcycling and touring in India. Royal Enfield showcased all their current Indian offerings at the 2010 Indian Auto Expo.
This time however, the Cast Iron and the AVL engines were replaced by the Unit Construction(UCE) engine platform that Royal Enfield intends to use in all of it’s upcoming motorcycle models. While the old Bulleteer bunch were in for a shock with the UCE engine used for the first time on the iconic Royal Enfield STD350, which has steadfastly featured the standard 350cc Cast Iron engine for more than 50 years now.
While, the classic Cast Iron engine is finally being laid to rest due to the emissions strangling it, we feel a twinge of sadness to see the legendary, long stroke 346cc cast iron engine being discontinued. That said, nothing is permanent in this ever changing world, and Royal Enfield has outfitted the STD350 with the UCE engine. This, in a bid to keep the model alive while managing to meet the stringent emission norms that the Bharat Stage IV norms lay down for all automobiles in India.
However, the real showstoppers at the Royal Enfield pavilion were the export model Royal Enfield Classic UCE500s and the Royal Enfield UCE500 Cafe Racer concept. We have already blogged on the aforementioned models and you can read about them right here on IndianCarsBikes.
On the whole, the Royal Enfield pavilion was a refreshing breath of fresh air with a heady vibrancy and an eager anticipation of the future, that Royal Enfield is all set to embark upon with the UCE engine. Here are a bunch of images straight from the Royal Enfield pavilion.

please give me the details of Royal Enfield Bullet 350 Electra with UCE and also the Technical Specification and when will it available in mumbai
This so called Bullet classic is a SHAM of a bullet. Without CI engine, 4-speed RIGHT side gears, Contact break ignition etc it is simply NOT a real Bullet! It is basically just a different version of the Electra .. one can say it just a looks a bit like the Bullet of 1951 etc but it is very much an Electra with a different name that’s all.
Why the hell did RE have to discontinue the proud Standard 350 — that had made the brand so popular world wide.. ?? Has the company gone mad, and is trying its best to destroy itself? I strongly think so.

Naveen,
The STD350 UCEs have arrived and the dealers in the NCR are accepting bookings. Contact your nearest RE dealer.
Cheers,
Jay
dude i hav already booked ma bike one & half month ago …but the dealer says that he dont know the exact date wen i get ma bike ..so tell me …
Naveen,
The reason why your STD 350UCE might be delayed is because the Royal Enfield have too many orders to service.
You should get your STD350 UCE within 3-4 months if your booking in the worst case scenario.
I anticipate that you’ll get your Bull within three months of your booking.
If it further gets delayed, you need to get in touch with the Royal Enfield factory directly.
Cheers,
Jay
what will be the price of thunder bird royal enfield in jharkhand
I heard that old Bullet is far better than new one.
Do you have some idea why people are saying this?
Naval,
No the old bullets aren’t better than the older ones. Most people, especially Bulleteers hate change. Hence you’re hearing such opinions.
Cheers,
Jay
which is good new royal enfeild electra twinspark uce or old royal enfeild electra
Old RE Electra with a CI engine isn’t in production anymore. First of all tell me what you’re expecting in a Bullet. I’ll then list out the merits and demerits of both the UCE and the CI engined bullets.
Cheers,
Jay
which is best old RE Electra with a CI engine or new
RE Electra twinspark uce. i also want to known sound of old RE Electra with a CI engine is better than new RE Electra twinspark uce which bullet have long life old RE Electra with a CI engine or new RE Electra twinspark uce
Iron engines can withstand more pressure and temperature. This is why cast iron is used for diesel engine construction and not almunimum.
Obviously RE with CI have longer life span. It has already been proved since you can still see 50 years old RE with CI engine running smoothly without any problem.
The new ones have still to proof their durability level.
sir i want 2 know that spending around 1 lakh is worth 4 da new RE ????

Shashank,
Buy the new Royal Enfield UCE350s. They are much better than the older REs. Get back to me for specific queries if any.

Hi All ,
I need help on this .
I have already booked a Bullet Thunderbird TS, just 2 months back and awaiting delivery
I just purchased it after seeing it in showroom (I was taken to showroom by my friend) …previously i was planning to purchase Unicorn .. but after seeing this beast , planned to go for it (without even a test ride)
But Now iam still confused, appreciate if you can clarify my doubts
1) Is it really worth to shell out 1.15 lacs for this TBTS ? Is it overpriced ?
2) How is the maintenance ? I understand maintenance cost is high , but what is the frequency of maintenance … does it breakdown frequently ?
3) Is it really worth to buy it when compared to the jap bikes ?
I am a 5.10 tall guy and really no issue in shelling out money , but just want to make sure its worth and donot want my money to go waste
