The Royal Enfield 'Bullet'
In 1932, Royal Enfield introduced a new single-cylinder four-valve engine design nicknamed the "Bullet," which had an inclined (or slopped), long-stroke cylinder-head, with an exposed valve gear assembly. The "Bullet" name would go on to be a mainstay of the Enfield line, beginning with the introduction of the "Bullet 350" in 1939. With the Bullet 350, the valve gear assembly was now enclosed within two rocker boxes.

Royal Enfield of India
At first, Madras Motor Company received the Bullet in kit form from the Redditch factory, only conducting the final assembly in India, but by the mid 1950s the Indian company was manufacturing every part of the motorcycle. Royal Enfield motorcycles that were intended for British and/or American distribution continued to be produced at the Redditch factory until the mid 1970s, now under the Norton/Villiers umbrella. Eventually, Villiers discontinued the entire line, but the Madras Motor Company continued to manufacture the Royal Enfield Bullet in India.
