The Royal Enfield Hunter has been launched in India, and it rivals the likes of the TVS Ronin and Jawa 42 in our market. The new Hunter 350 shares Royal Enfield’s J-Platform with the Meteor 350 and the Classic 350. Thus, it comes with the same chassis, cycle parts, and engine. The 349cc, air/oil-cooled engine comes linked to a five-speed gearbox and produces a maximum output of 20.2bhp and a peak torque of 27Nm.
The motorcycle is available in two variants – Retro and Metro. The Metro variant is further divided into the Dapper and Rebel series, with the latter offering the snazziest of paint schemes. The styling cues across the range comprise a neo-retro roadster design that is reminiscent of the Triumph Street Twin motorcycles. Thus, this Royal Enfield comes with a single-piece seat, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, and a round shape for the headlamp, tail lamp, turn signals, and mirrors.
The hardware, similar to the Meteor 350 and the Classic 350, comprises telescopic front forks and twin rear shocks to handle the suspension duties. Meanwhile, the braking setup on the base model comprises a disc at the front and a drum unit at the back along with a single-channel ABS. The Metro range, on the other hand, uses disc brakes on both ends and a dual-channel ABS. The premium version also benefits from an LED taillight instead of a halogen unit on the base model. Further, the Metro series rides on alloy wheels, while the Retro variant uses wire-spoke units.
In terms of competition, the Hunter 350 rivals the likes of the Yamaha FZ25, Pulsar 250, and Suzuki Gixxer.
