Is This Royal Enfield’s Next Game-Changer After The Meteor 350?

A bunch of new spy shots have surfaced recently of what appears to be the Royal Enfield Hunter 350. The test mule was pretty much covered but we could still make out some interesting things.

Exactly two months ago, we brought you the news of the Hunter 350 probably losing out on the bikemaker’s new Tripper pod. But, according to the latest spy shots, it looks like the Hunter will indeed get it. The instrument cluster seen in the latest mule gets two displays: one LCD unit will show information like mileage, trip meters, battery voltage and fuel level, while the other is the famed Tripper module. The layout seems identical to the Meteor 350’s. LED lighting appears absent, yet again.

One interesting thing we noticed here is the switchgear appears exactly like the Meteor 350’s. This wouldn’t really be a surprise as both bikes belong to Royal Enfield’s new J-series platform. That said, the handlebar on the Hunter is flat, which should result in more agile handling and a slightly sportier stance.

Another common bit between the two J-offerings will be the motor. The Hunter 350 will run the 349cc single-cylinder motor, same as the Meteor. This engine puts out 20PS and 27Nm. 

All this aside, the Hunter 350 will stand out in RE’s lineup thanks to its design. With blacked-out alloys, engine, suspension, exhaust, and even handlebar, the Hunter 350 will be the Meteor’s sportier cousin, just like the Honda CB350RS is to the H’Ness CB350.
