Exclusive: Royal Enfield Hunter 350 First Look

 

  • Exclusive: Royal Enfield Hunter 350 First Look
  • The Hunter 350 will target a new set of riders looking to step up from lower capacity models and will be sold in markets across the globe.
  • Royal Enfield is set to officially launch the Hunter 350 on Sunday, and now we have detailed images of the motorcycle. The Hunter 350 is a derivative of Royal Enfield’s new 350cc platform with company CEO Siddhart Lal saying that the model was under development since 2016 to tune the motorcycle’s chassis just right. Lal said, “Hunter has been in development since 2016, but the development team has been really fine tuning the chassis to offer a completely different character and personality to the bike. The chassis guys have been tuning, re-tuning the bike to make it what it is. It’s agile, fun and hopefully, you will enjoy riding it as much as we enjoyed developing it.” Off-set instrument pod and switchgear similar to the Meteor 350, fly screen likely an accessory. Compared to the rest of Royal Enfield’s 350cc range, the Hunter gets a modified chassis. The difference isn’t just down to the chassis but the nature of the motorcycle as well. The Hunter carries over many of the classic Royal Enfield design elements such as the rounded light clusters and twin rear shocks though the overall design is more roadster than cruiser as the rest of the 350cc range. The tear-drop-shaped fuel tank gets a flattened rear section to aid the rider in finding grip with his knees while the foot pegs are set further back to offer a sportier riding position. The bike will be available in dual and single tone with previous reports suggesting that there will be three variants on offer including a base model with wire spoke wheels. The tail-lamp is an LED unit while the headlamp gets a halogen bulb. LED turn signals are available as an option. The bike seen here had the graphics ‘ride’ on the fuel tank though it is likely to be an accessory on the bike. Another element visible is the off-set instrument pod on the handlebar with a tripper navigation pod likely to also be available based on previous images. The upswept tail and exhaust add to the overall roadster look. Coming to the engine, the Hunter 350 will use the familiar 349cc J-Series mill from the new generation of 350 models. The engine is expected to put out the same 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm of torque as it does in the other 350 models, but will likely feel peppier in this shorter and lighter motorcycle. The engine will be mated to a 5-speed gearbox with the images revealing that it will only get a toe shifter. The Hunter is also expected to be lighter than Classic 350 by as much as 10kg. The Hunter will be targeted at a new set of buyers, ones looking to upgrade from smaller capacity bikes or even those looking for a first motorcycle. The Hunter is also set to be the most affordable model in the Royal Enfield range sitting below the rest of the 350cc range. The Hunter 350 will also be available with Royal Enfield's ‘Make It Yours’ factory personalisation programme.
