Royal Enfield has taken the wraps off the revamped Hunter 350, introducing captivating color choices and additional variants to its popular entry-level model. The motorcycle lineup now boasts three variants and an extended palette of eight colors, including eye-catching orange and green selections. Competing in the Indian market against renowned models like TVS Ronin, Honda CB 350, Jawa 42, and Yezdi Roadster, the Hunter 350 receives not only a visual facelift but also maintains its competitive pricing, starting at INR 1.50 lakh for the retro model and reaching up to INR 1.74 lakh for the Metro Rebel range.
The Hunter 350 distinguishes itself as the most compact bike in Royal Enfield’s 350cc segment, featuring a premium and aggressive style compared to its Classic 350 and Meteor counterparts. The latest depur variant showcases a dark orange tank, accompanied by light orange logos and stripes, coupled with a white knee space. Meanwhile, the Depur G variant features a tank in ‘British Green’ with fluorescent accents on the logo-stripe, creating a distinct visual identity.
Under the hood, the Hunter 350 packs a punch with its 349cc single-cylinder, air/oil-cooled engine equipped with fuel injection technology. Delivering 20.2hp at 6100rpm and a peak torque of 27Nm at 4000rpm, the motorcycle promises an exhilarating ride. The 5-speed gearbox ensures smooth transitions, and Royal Enfield claims a top speed of 114 kmph.
In terms of hardware, the Hunter 350 is not just about style; it delivers on performance as well. With a 1370mm wheelbase, 30mm shorter than the Meteor and 20mm less than the Classic 350, the motorcycle offers nimble handling. Weighing in at 181 kilograms, it is also 14kg lighter than the Classic 350, further enhancing its agility on the road.
Ensuring rider comfort, the Hunter 350 features a 13-liter fuel tank, an 800mm high seat, and rides on 17-inch cast alloy wheels with tubeless tires. The suspension setup includes a 41mm telescopic fork at the front and a 6-step preload adjustable twin-emulsion shock absorber at the rear. The braking system, comprising a 300mm front disc and a 240mm rear disc with dual-channel ABS, provides reliable stopping power.
Adding to its appeal, the Hunter 350 incorporates design elements such as a circular headlamp, fork cover gaiters, and an offset instrument cluster, reminiscent of the Meteor 350 and Scram 411. The switchgear and grips mirror the design found on the Meteor, creating a cohesive and visually appealing package. Royal Enfield enthusiasts can look forward to an exciting and refreshed Hunter 350 riding experience with this latest update.
