- Introduction of 240 mm rear disc brake. Standard models are shod with 153 mm drum brakes.
- Carry over of swingarm of Thunderbird
- New colour – Gunmetal Grey. The rear mudguard, fuel tank, front mudguard and side boxes are all painted in grey colour.
- Dark tan seat from existing Classic Chrome model.
2017 Classic 500 Changes
- New colour theme called as Stealth Black. Most of the body parts like fuel tank, mudguards, utility box, indicator housing, headlamp ring etc are painted matte black. However, the live pic shows that the exhaust is still chrome and not black according to the stuido pic.
- It also gets the swingarm of Thunderbird.
- And a 240 mm rear disc brake.
So, the two very important and large selling Royal Enfield models finally get rear disc brakes, however, ABS, which is offered on international-spec models, is still missing. This leaves Bullet as the only model in the portfolio devoid of the rear disc.
