Commenting on Hunter 350’s success, global recognition and potential for Asia Pacific markets, Anuj Dua, Business Head for Asia Pacific, Royal Enfield said, “At Royal Enfield we are closely engaged with our consumers and community. There were always a set of passionate motorcyclists that loved our brand, but did not find the right kind of attitude within our portfolio. The Hunter 350 is for them. It is a motorcycle that combines the strengths of seemingly different species, and brings it together in a super stylish and fun package that is an all new flavour of pure motorcycling with the unmistakable Royal Enfield character. We have consistently launched motorcycles which meet the needs of the riders. We have an extremely loyal community in the Philippines, wherein our customers are our biggest brand advocates. The Hunter 350, is a result of extensive feedback from riders and communities on what their perfect motorcycle would look like. It just seemed the most natural thing in the world for Royal Enfield to develop a fun, lighter and more agile 350 roadster.

The chassis geometry on the Hunter 350 is designed to give the optimal height-to-weight ratio while offering superior comfort, thanks to its wide, long, one-piece seat. With revised rake and trail angles, a lower 800mm seat height and shorter wheelbase, the Hunter's exceptional maneuverability encourages greater confidence when carving through cramped streets and feels planted and stable in every location and situation.

The Hunter is powered by the modern, globally acclaimed 349cc air-oil cooled single cylinder J-series engine, recently launched on the Meteor and Classic 350. Fuel-injected, it produces 20.2 bhp at 6100 rpm and 27 Nm of torque at 4000 rpm resulting in strong, low-end grunt, super smooth linear power delivery with an engine calibration to give a lively throttle response and a distinctive exhaust note to suit the character of the Hunter. With a primary balancer shaft to cut down vibrations, it feels both responsive and refined while its gear shifting is crisp and smooth thanks to an optimised 5-speed gearbox.
