Royal Enfield Hunter 350 : Royal Enfield Hunter 350 continues to rule urban streets as the brand’s agile entry into retro-modern riding, blending thumpy J-series vibes with nimble handling at ₹1.50 lakh starting.

Launched in 2022 and refined through 2026 with BS6 2.0 tweaks, it appeals to young riders craving Classic character in a lighter, flickable package—perfect for weaving Delhi traffic or weekend blasts from Narnaund highways.

With real-world 35-38 kmpl and customizable flair, it’s outpacing Jawa 350 in city sales while undercutting Scram 411 on weight.​

Aggressive Styling Meets Retro Soul

The Hunter’s bobber stance screams attitude: chopped fenders, round LED headlamp with purposeful blacked-out housing, and a compact 2022mm wheelbase for razor-sharp U-turns in bazaars.

Seven shades span Factory Black to vibrant Yellow Mud—matte finishes hide road grime, chrome accents on tanks shine post-wash.

At 181kg kerb, it feels planted yet tossable, 790mm seat welcoming shorter riders without tiptoeing, though pillion pegs sit high for taller backs.​

Tech-Savvy Analog Console

Semi-digital dash packs essentials: analog speedo with digital fuel gauge, odometer, tripmeter, and service reminders—USB-C charges phones on the go for nav apps.

Metro variants add Bluetooth via Tripper pod for call alerts, SMS pop-ups, and meaty exhaust note customization; no full TFT, but analog charm fits the vibe.

LED tail/brake lights sip power, hazard switch aids foggy mornings—practical for daily commutes sans fuss.​

J-Series Heart with Slipper Clutch

349cc air-oil cooled thumper (refined J-platform) belts 20.4PS at 6100rpm and 27Nm at 4000rpm, surging midrange for effortless 80kmph cruises post-overtakes.

5-speed gearbox with assist-slipper clutch shifts silkily (1-down 4-up), EFI and BS6 compliance cut vibes below 70kmph—top speed nudges 120kmph on flats.

Real mileage hits 36kmpl ARAI (34-38 owner-reported), 13L tank yielding 450km range for tension-free rides to Jaipur.​

Nimble Suspension for Urban Assaults

17-inch alloys shod with CEAT Gripp XL tubeless (100/80 front, 120/70 rear) bite tarmac confidently, twin downtube steel frame delivering flickable agility in gaps.

Telescopic forks (41mm) and twin gas-charged shocks (preload adjustable) soak potholes decently—sharper than Meteor’s plushness, stable at leans up to 35 degrees.

160mm clearance clears speed bumps, though full-load dips rear slightly on undulations.​

Safety Without Compromise

300mm front disc with 2-piston caliper hauls 60-0kmph in 18m, rear 270mm disc (top trims) or 153mm drum pairs for progressive stops—dual-channel ABS (post-2024) prevents lockups on gravelly outskirts.

Slipper clutch smooths downshifts, engine brake aids trails—reviewers praise confidence in rain, though no cornering aids keep it analog-fun.​

Pricing and Ownership Edge

Retro (₹1.50 lakh), Metro (₹1.62 lakh), Top-spec (₹1.67 lakh) ex-showroom Delhi—on-road ₹1.75-1.95 lakh with low-insurance deals.

Service at ₹1,500/3k km intervals, 4-year/40k km warranty beats Honda CB350 costs; resale holds 85% post-year thanks to cult following.​

Who Rides the Hunter Best?

City slickers and cafe-hoppers adore its vibe over heavier Interceptor, lighter than Bullet for noob riders yet torquey enough for duo blasts—trails Xtreme 350 in power but wins on handling.

Owners buzz about midrange grunt and mod-friendliness (bars, seats), minor niggles like stiff seat fixed via aftermarket pads.

In India’s retro surge, Hunter 350 nails accessible thump—grab one for that addictive RE rumble daily.
