The roadster could make its debut later this year to compete with the Honda CB350RS
The upcoming Royal Enfield Hunter 350 has been spotted testing yet again, and looks like the bike is closer to production. These images surfaced just a few days after the first spy shots of the Triumph-Bajaj roadster popped up.
The new Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is the third motorcycle based on the new J Platform, after the Meteor 350 and the Classic 350. It gets the same counterbalanced 349cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine producing 20.4PS and 27Nm.

The Hunter gets a neo-retro design, with a circular headlight, taillight and indicators, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, and old-school switchgear as seen on its siblings. Unlike the Classic 350, the Hunter seems to be void of chrome treatment, instead going for blacked-out components.
The Royal Enfield Hunter 350’s underpinnings are similar to that of its siblings. So, it gets a telescopic fork at the front and dual shocks at the rear, while braking is entrusted to disc brakes at both ends. The Hunter also seems to be sporting 17-inch rims at both ends, a first from RE.
Royal Enfield will also equip this bike with its Tripper navigation pod, however, it could likely be offered as an option. Apart from this, expect the bike to come with many accessories, some of which have already been spotted on test mules.
The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 could debut around the middle of 2022, considering the bikemaker’s promise to launch new motorcycles every quarter till 2027. The Hunter will compete with the Jawa Forty-Two, Honda CB350RS, and the upcoming Triumph-Bajaj bike.
