Royal Enfield Hunter 350

About Royal Enfield Hunter 350:

Last Updated 11 Days back Royal Enfield is now offering an International warranty program for riders who want to ride around the world without having to worry about mechanical issues or service support in foreign countries.

Price:

Prices for the Hunter 350 start at Rs 1,49,900 for the base Retro variant and go up to Rs 1,74,655 for the top Metro variant (both prices ex-showroom Chennai).

Variants:

The Hunter 350 comes in two variants – Retro and Metro. The main difference between the two is that the Retro gets spoke wheels with tube-type tyres, a 153mm rear drum brake with single-channel ABS and a slightly simpler-looking semi-digital single-pod instrument cluster. The Metro, on the other hand, gets alloy wheels with tubeless tyres, a 270mm rear disc brake with dual-channel ABS and a smarter-looking semi-digital single-pod instrument cluster that displays more information such as gear position and a clock. The switchgear on the Retro variant is also more basic while the Metro gets the fancier old-school rotary switches.

Color Options:

The Hunter 350 is currently offered in eight different colours. The Factory Black colour is the most affordable at Rs 1,49,900 but only comes on the base Retro variant. On the Metro variant, the Dapper Orange, Dapper Green, Dapper White and Dapper Grey colours are priced at Rs 1,69,656, while the Rebel Black, Rebel Blue and Rebel Red are priced at Rs 1,74,655 (all prices ex-showroom Chennai).

Performance:

Although the Hunter 350 uses the same J-platform 349cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine from the Classic 350 with the exact same output figures – 20.2PS @ 6100rpm and 27Nm @ 4000rpm, it offers quicker acceleration thanks to its smaller 17-inch rear wheel and lighter kerb weight of 181kg (for the Metro variant). In our tests, the Hunter 350 managed 0-60kmph acceleration in 5.24 seconds with 100kmph coming in 16.40 seconds.

Mileage:

In our mileage test, the Hunter 350 delivered a city mileage of 40.19kmpl and a highway mileage of 35.98kmpl. In mixed real-world riding conditions, we believe you should be able to get 30-35kmpl from the Hunter 350 if ridden sensibly.
