When it comes to Royal Enfield’s two new bikes, the Hunter 350 and Guerrilla 450, people often get confused by their looks. While they may appear similar from a distance, there are significant differences between the two bikes that make them distinct. Here, we’re explaining the differences in detail so you can make the right decision.
Design
The Royal Enfield Hunter 350’s look is a perfect blend of classic and retro. It features a tear-drop tank, a simple round taillight, and youthful graphics that give it an urban and attractive look. On the other hand, the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450’s design blends retro and modern. Its front resembles a retro roadster, but its tank and tail section make it modern and aggressive. It features a sculpted tank, an offset fuel cap, and a taillight similar to the Himalayan 450.
Engine
The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is powered by a 349cc, air-oil-cooled J-series engine that produces 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm of torque. This engine is perfect for city driving and short trips. In comparison, the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 is powered by the powerful 452cc, liquid-cooled Sherpa 450 engine, which produces 40.02 bhp and 40 Nm of torque. This engine is more powerful and delivers excellent highway performance.
Suspension and Tires
The Hunter 350 features 41mm telescopic forks and twin rear shock absorbers, providing a comfortable ride. The Guerrilla 450 features 43mm USD (upside-down) forks and a monoshock suspension, providing better handling and control. Both bikes have 17-inch alloy wheels, but the Guerrilla’s rear tire (150-section) is wider than the Hunter’s (140-section), providing better grip and stability.
Features and Technology
The Hunter 350 features a simple analog-digital instrument console with Royal Enfield’s Tripper navigation module for turn-by-turn navigation. In comparison, the Guerrilla 450 features a 5-inch TFT display with advanced features like smartphone connectivity, Google Maps navigation, call/SMS alerts, and music controls. However, the phone must be on at all times to use the navigation.
