Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Spotted Testing At High Speeds

The Hunter 350 will be placed right below the new Classic 350 in the company’s lineup

The Royal Enfiled Hunter 350 has been spotted testing again, but this time at triple-digit speeds. The new visuals give an even closer look at what could possibly be the most affordable Royal Enfield motorcycle. 

The styling is quite scrambler-like; ergonomics too. It gets a single-piece seat, an upright handlebar, and slightly rear-set footpegs. However, the test mule had pretty basic equipment, including a halogen headlight, turn indicators, and halogen taillight. The instrument cluster seems like a twin-pod unit. 

It'll get the same J-series motor as the Meteor 350 -- 349cc single-cylinder air-cooled counterbalanced unit. The numbers -- 20.4PS and 27Nm -- will likely not change, but the Hunter 350 seems lighter than its sibling. So we can expect a more spirited performance. 

While the chassis will be shared with the new Classic 350, we reckon the front fork and dual rear springs will be tuned slightly differently. Also, the bike has always been spotted running on alloy wheels.

As mentioned earlier, we expect the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 to be the most affordable model from the company's revised portfolio. So, it could be priced at around Rs 1.80 lakh (ex-showroom), and it will undercut the Honda CB350RS by a considerable margin.

In related news, RE is also working on a few more upcoming models, including the Super Meteor 650 and the Scram.
