Royal Enfiled has teased its upcoming Hunter 350 motorcycle for the first time and revealed that it will be launched on 7th August 2022. While the teaser doesn’t disclose anything about the bike, keen eyes could notice its semi-digital instrument cluster with a tripper navigation system and a graffiti on the wall in the teaser with ‘Bullet Meri Jaan’ written on it, along with the date 05.08.22. This apparently signifies that Royal Enfield may have something planned for August 5 as well.
Reports are also suggesting that Royal Enfield will offer the Hunter 350 in three variants: Retro, Metro, and Metro Rebel. Here are the details: –
Retro variant
- The base-spec Retro trim will get 17-inch spoke wheels with a 300mm front disc and a 153mm drum brake at the rear along with single-channel Antilock Braking System (ABS).
- It will get a conventional bulb-type tail lamp and Classic-style switchgear with a simple instrument cluster.
- It will miss out on the main parking stand.
- The bike will weigh 177kg, making it the lightest Royal Enfield bike.
- Royal Enfiled is likely to offer the Hunter 350 Retro variant in two single-tone color options: Factory Black and Factory Silver.

Royal Enfield Hunter 350 – Specifications and Expected Price
Talking about the specifications, the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 roadster will be based on the brand’s latest J-platform, with the familiar 20.2PS 349cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled motor at its heart. This is the same engine that also powers the Classic 350 and Meteor 350.
We expect Royal Enfield to price the Hunter 350 from around the Rs 1.70 lakh (ex-showroom), making it the most affordable RE bike on sale. Once launched, it will go up against the Jawa Forty-Two.
