Although not declared officially, yet you can expect it to be launched within April 2019.

The Royal Enfield Scrambler will be based on the Bullet 350 and Bullet 500, respectively. Mechanically, both bikes will be identical to the Bullet 350 and the Bullet 500. The 346cc and 499cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engines produce 19.8PS and 28PS of power, respectively. We also expect Royal Enfield to launch both bikes with dual-channel ABS as standard. The most important feature is that only two screws are needed to be replaced to add or remove the pillion seat.
