Royal Enfield is gearing up to launch the new Hunter 350cc roadster motorcycle in India. While its official launch date is yet to be announced, a latest media report says that it will hit roads by the end of June 2022. The model has been on test for a very long time and we have seen multiple spy images and videos revealing its details. Here’re key details we know so far about the upcoming new Royal Enfield Hunter 350cc bike.
Platform, Engine
– The new RE roadster will share its platform (J) and engine with the Meteor 350. The brand’s new ‘J’ architecture is claimed to provide better straight line and cornering stability without compromising on comfort.
– The bike will derive its power from the 349cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine featuring OHC setup. The motor returns a claimed power of 20.2bhp and 27Nm of torque. It delivers power to the rear wheels via a 6-speed gearbox. Read – Royal Enfield Meteor, Himalayan Won’t Get Tripper Nav As Standard
