Nepal's motorcycle enthusiasts have a new reason to celebrate as Alpha Automotive, the authorized distributor of Royal Enfield bikes in the country, unveiled the highly anticipated Royal Enfield Hunter 350 at the NADA Auto Show 2023. This exciting addition to the Royal Enfield lineup introduces an affordable roadster that blends style and performance seamlessly. Let's take a closer look at what makes the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 a standout choice for riders in Nepal.
Design
The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is the third motorcycle in the RE lineup to feature the innovative J-Series engine. The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 boasts a roadster-style design that beautifully blends retro aesthetics with modern features. Its circular Halogen Headlamp and Indicators at the front, along with the Telescopic suspension, give it a distinctive look. The bike's side profile showcases a well-thought-out tank profile and seats. The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 offers a variety of options to suit different preferences. It comes in two primary variants: Retro and Metro. The Retro and Metro variants of the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 cater to different tastes. The Retro variant features single-tone colours, a smaller instrument meter, simple switch buttons, and a single-piece tubular grab rail. In contrast, the Metro variant offers dual-tone colours, circular switch buttons, and a split grab rail. It also boasts LED taillights with circular indicators.
Performance
Powered by a 349cc, Single-Cylinder, Air-Cooled, SOHC, EFI engine, the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 generates a robust 20.48PS of power at 6100rpm and 27Nm of torque at 4000rpm. This engine is mated to a 5-speed gearbox and comes with a 13-litre fuel tank. The Hunter 350 offers an agile and manoeuvrable riding experience with its revised rake angle, centre of gravity, and shorter wheelbase. Notably, both the Retro and Metro variants currently lack ABS, a cost-saving measure according to the company. However, Royal Enfield Nepal plans to introduce an ABS-equipped variant in the future.
