– The new motorcycle is likely to be offered in different trim levels. It has been spotted with alloy wheels as well as wire-spoke wheels. Re has already adopts this approach with the new Classic 350. The Dark variant of the motorcycle comes with alloy wheels, while the other versions get wire-spoke wheels.
– The new motorcycle will come with a single-piece seat, relaxed ergonomics, retro-styled circular headlamps, a rounded fuel tank and a tripper navigation system.
– The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 will share the powertrain with the Meteor 350. It will be powered by a 349cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine with OHC layout. This engine churns out a maximum power output of 20.2bhp and a peak torque of 27Nm. Power will be transmitted to the rear wheel via a 6-speed gearbox.
