Royal Enfield Hunter 350: Design

The Hunter 350 fluently speaks the design language of Royal Enfield but with fancier words. It gets a neo-retro design amplified by the round headlamps, indicators, and the long one-piece seat. Furthermore, the duel tone fuel tank and the asymmetric digital instrument cluster add to the modern appeal. In addition, the feature on the bike, like the electric starter as standard and the Tripper navigation pod, add to the appeal.

The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 will be sold in two variants: Metro and Retro. Aside from the aforementioned variations, the two types can be distinguished by their distinct colours. The Retro model has a single-tone paint scheme, whereas the Metro model has a dual-tone finish.
