The roadster will be the most affordable offering underpinned by the ‘J’ platform, undercutting the Royal Enfield Classic 350 and the Meteor 350
[UPDATE: Royal Enfield has launched the Hunter 350. Full details in our launch story]
One of the most anticipated bikes of 2022, the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 will be launched in early August. We have gotten a block-your-date from Royal Enfield from the 4th to the 8th of August 2022, suggesting its launch and first ride in that period.
The pre-production prototype images of the bike showed us that the motorcycle gets a modern retro roadster styling that slightly resembles the Triumph Street Twin with a single piece seat and a tear drop shaped fuel tank. Complimenting the retro appeal are RE’s signature rounded headlight, taillight, turn indicators and rear view mirrors.
The motorcycle will be powered by the same 349cc, single-cylinder engine as the Meteor 350 and Classic 350. It is also expected to produce the same 20.4PS and 27Nm output figures as its siblings. We expect it to get the Meteor 350’s state of tune, which is slightly sportier than the Classic 350.
We believe that it will likely come with a price tag of Rs 1.7 lakh (ex-showroom) and will likely be offered in two variants. At this price, it will be the most affordable bike based on the J-Series platform and its closest rivals will be the Honda CB350RS and Jawa 42 2.1.
