What’s New
Royal Enfield has made the biggest splash in the 2026 Hunter 350 with its entry-level model, as customers will now find shiny alloy wheels as standard, replacing the old spoke wheels, even in the base variant. This change not only gives the bike a sleek and modern look but also provides the comfort of tubeless tires in case of punctures, making long journeys safer.
Additionally, the bike features a new digital-analog instrument cluster and premium rotary switchgear, giving it a striking retro appeal. For a comfortable ride, the company has also incorporated a newly stitched seat and sporty grab rails, providing better grip and comfort for the pillion rider.
Engine and Technology
The new Hunter 350 features the same reliable and robust 349cc J-series engine, renowned worldwide for its unmatched refinement and power. This engine produces 20.2 bhp of power and 27 Nm of torque, ensuring unwavering traction on narrow city streets and highway roads.
In terms of technology, it now features the powerful feature of a slip and assist clutch, making gear shifting light and effortless, preventing fatigue in traffic. For safety, it features a powerful combination of single-channel ABS and disc brakes, which are capable of bringing the bike to a quick and safe stop in any emergency.
