Royal Enfield will have a busy 2021. In the past few months, the company has launched multiple motorcycles in the Indian market. It all began with the launch of the all-new Royal Enfield Meteor 350 BS6. Early this year, the company launched the new updated Himalayan BS6. Now, the upcoming Royal Enfield Hunter has been spied once again in India revealing some more images and hinting at its imminent launch. Here are some more details about it.
The upcoming Royal Enfield Hunter will be based on the company's new J-platform that underpins the RE Meteor 350 too. This new platform will also underpin the new-generation Classic 350. Now, talking about the Hunter, so earlier it was expected to be a 250cc motorcycle, but as per the latest media reports, it won't be a quarter-litre bike, instead, it will share its mill with the Meteor 350 and the upcoming new-generation Classic 350. The upcoming Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is expected to be a lightweight motorcycle and it will be targeted more towards the youth audience and the female riders.

The new Royal Enfield Hunter has been spied on test in India several times before too but these new images reveal some more details about the bike. For instance, one can see that it's quite compact, gets a round headlamp, fork cover gaiters, a stubby exhaust, dual-purpose tyres, and a unique tail section. It will be neither a cafe racer nor a scrambler but it seems it will get a unique blend of everything just like we saw on the new Honda CB 350 RS. One can see large disc brakes at both ends and it will get dual-channel ABS too. The new RE Hunter 350 will be quite feature-loaded too with new tech.
