Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Launch Soon - Teaser Mentions ‘Bullet Meri Jaan’

Given the condition that Royal Enfield has a couple of motorcycles ready for launch, the best-suited motorcycle that fits the theme of the teaser will be the upcoming Royal Enfield Hunter 350 motorcycle as the motorcycle perfectly blends youthful character with a strong retro theme.

Recently, the upcoming Royal Enfield Hunter 350 motorcycle had been basking in the limelight as the motorcycle was spotted at a dealership yard without any camouflage. These spied images of the Hunter 350 motorcycle pepped up many motorcycle enthusiasts and Royal Enfield fans in the country.

It is also worth mentioning that these spied motorcycles were not test mules, but production units that have been sent to the dealership for display purposes or test ride purposes. This further confirms Royal Enfield's plans to launch the Hunter 350 motorcycle as its next new motorcycle.

Even before the launch, Royal Enfield has very high hopes for the Hunter 350 motorcycle and the deliveries of the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 motorcycles are likely to commence immediately after the launch.

Though the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 motorcycle is yet to be launched in the country, the specifications of the motorcycle have already been leaked online. This means interested buyers no longer need to wait till the launch to get an idea about the Hunter 350 motorcycle.

Also, looking at these spied images of the Royal Enfield Hunter 350, it is certain that the upcoming Hunter 350 motorcycle has an upright yet sporty riding position with its mid-set foot pegs and a wide handlebar.

Also, the design traits such as the short exhaust, split grab rails, circular tail lamps, circular headlamps, circular indicators, circular rear-view mirrors, and a single-piece seat gives the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 plenty of character.

Coming to the specifications, the previously leaked Type Approval certificate reveals that the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 measures just 2,055mm long, 800mm wide, and 1,055mm tall. In addition to that, the wheelbase is also short at just 1,370mm, as a result, the gross vehicle weight is rated at just 360kg - Making the Hunter 350, the smallest Royal Enfield motorcycle.

Comparing these specifications with the Royal Enfield Meteor 350, the upcoming Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is 85mm smaller in length, 45mm narrower, 85mm shorter in height and the wheelbase also shorter by 35mm.

Also, the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 uses the same 349.34cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine from the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and Royal Enfield Classic 350 motorcycles. This means the engine outs out an identical 19.94bhp of peak power at 6,100rpm and 27Nm of peak torque at 4,000rpm. This engine comes paired to the same 5-speed gearbox as well. However, we are not sure the gearbox is tuned for better acceleration to suit the character of the motorcycle.

It is also worth mentioning that the upcoming Royal Enfield Hunter 350 motorcycle is likely to come with a single-channel ABS to keep the cost in check. However, we are not sure if the automaker plans to offer a dual-channel ABS variant.

We expect the starting price of the upcoming Royal Enfield Hunter 350 motorcycle to be around Rs 1.30 lakh to Rs 1.40 lakh, ex-showroom.
