Royal Enfield Hunter 350 – Design, Underpinnings, and Engine

At the heart of the bike is a 349cc single cylinder, air-cooled engine making a maximum power of 20.2hp at 6,100 rpm along with a peak torque of 27Nm at 4,000 rpm. The drive is sent to the wheels via a 5-speed gearbox. It has a top speed of 114 kmph.
– Royal Enfiled claims a mileage of 36.2kmpl with the Hunter. That means, its 13-liter fuel tank can offer you a range of around 470 kilometers.

– Design-wise, the Hunter is a typical Royal Enfield bike, with notable elements including a round lighting system, tear-drop fuel tank, and RE Meteor 350 borrowed switchgear & instrumentation cluster. However, its single-piece contoured ribbed seat, upswept tail & exhaust give it a roadster look. It has a wheelbase of 1370mm, which will help the rider with easy maneuverability, especially in city traffic. It has a seat height of 800mm.
– The twin-downtube spine frame of the bike is suspended on the same 41mm front fork with 130mm travel and a pair of 6-step preload-adjustable emulsion rear shock absorbers as the Meteor 350. Riding on 17-inch alloy wheels, it gets a 300mm front disc and a 270mm rear disc with dual-channel Antilock Braking System (ABS). The wheels are shod with 110-section front and 140-section rear tubeless tires as standard. It tips the scales at 181kg curb, making it the lightest Royal Enfiled bike.
