Royal Enfield is on a spree to introduce new products to the market, and the company has been testing a number of motorcycles. The brand has recently launched the Scram 411 and the company is working on other more motorcycles in various segments, including some 650cc models. One of the future motorcycles by RE will be the Hunter 350, and the upcoming Hunter 350, which has already been spotted multiple times, was once again spotted testing on domestic roads.
The Hunter 350 will be constructed on the same J1D architecture that underpins the RE Meteor and the next-generation RE Classic. Because of its traditional roadster style, this new bike is likely to appeal to a wide range of customers.

The Hunter 350, according to fresh spy pictures, will have a sportier appearance than the other Royal Enfield motorcycles. The Hunter 350 features classic aesthetic elements such as a circular headlight and rear view mirrors. Hunter 350 appears to be ready for both city streets and some high-speed fun on broad highways. Hunter sports an ergonomically situated broad handlebar and foot pegs in the centre.
Aside from that, it appears like Hunter will use the Meteor's twin-pod instrument cluster, which will include features like step-by-step navigation and Bluetooth connection. Other features such as dual-channel ABS, Bluetooth, USB charger, LED lights, and so on will be included as standard.

The rear end of the Royal Enfield incorporates twin-gas-charged suspension with a swingarm-mounted into the chassis. A single disc brake arrangement is used at both the front and back tyres to transmit braking duties.
The Hunter 350 will be powered by a 350cc single-cylinder, air-cooled, SOHC engine that develops 20.2 horsepower and 27 Nm of peak torque. This engine will be coupled to a 5-speed constant mesh transmission with a slip-assist clutch for smooth power distribution to the rear wheels.
Hunter is expected to debut by the end of 2022, and will fight directly with the Yezdi Scrambler and Honda CB 350 RS in the newly expanded segment.
In other Royal Enfield news, the company has increased the price of its most affordable cruiser, the Bullet 350. Not only that, but the Classic 350 and Meteor 350 have had their prices and features adjusted. The price of the Classic and Meteor has been reduced, and the tripper navigation pod has been removed from both bikes' instrument consoles.
