We informed you earlier that Royal Enfield will launch 5 new motorcycles in the Indian market in 2021-22. The company is testing the new-gen Classic 350, a 650cc cruiser and an all-new motorcycle, which is reportedly to be called the Hunter. The upcoming Royal Enfield Hunter 350 has recently been caught testing, which suggests that the bike could launch before the end of this year.
Based on the spy images Digital artist Shoeb Kalania has released a new rendering, which reveals the possible design of the Hunder 350. The motorcycle shares similarities with the Meteor 350, as both motorcycles are based on the same RE’s new “J” modular platform. In the rendering, features like alloys, braking system and suspension setup are sourced from the 350cc Cruiser.
The rendering also gets Royal Enfield’s Tripper Navigation unit. It gets round headlamps fitted in a black enclosure. Fork gaiters are added to the front forks for a masculine and bolder front look. The motorcycle gets differently styled fuel tank and new dual-tone paint scheme. However, the RE logo on the fuel tank is similar to the one available in the Meteor’s Supernova variant.
The motorcycle gets a new single piece seat; however, the handlebar and footpeg position are same as the Meteor. The rear has new tail-lamp with turn signals, positioned right behind the pillion seat. The licence plate holder is placed at the end of the rear fender. It will get the upward sweeping exhaust canister in black finish. Unlike the Meteor that comes with 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels, the RE Hunter 350 seems to be assembled with 17-inch front and rear wheels.
The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 will be powered the 349cc, air-cooled motor with fuel-injection and a 5-speed gearbox. This engine churns out a maximum power output of 20.2bhp and a peak torque of 27Nm. It comes with a balancer shaft that reduces vibrations to a great extent. Dual channel ABS system will come as standard. It will get telescopic front forks and twin shocks at the rear.
