Exciting New Features and Variants
In April 2026, Royal Enfield added a new Base Premium variant to the Hunter 350 lineup, along with two attractive color options. This move has greatly enhanced its appeal among young people in the market for affordable yet high-quality motorcycles. The bike now comes packed with more refined features than ever before, making it a reliable and powerful companion for both city traffic and highway cruising.
The Hunter 350 is available in three main variants: Retro, Base Premium, and Metro Rebel. Starting at approximately ₹149,900 (ex-showroom, Delhi), the base Retro variant offers classic spoke wheels and simplicity. The most popular Base Premium variant, priced around ₹161,000, features alloy wheels and tubeless tires for a sportier ride. The top-of-the-line Metro Rebel variant retails for approximately ₹174,655, boasting dual-channel ABS and premium dual-tone colors. In cities like Delhi, the on-road price can range from ₹1,75,000 to ₹2,05,000.
Engine and Performance
The new Hunter 350 is powered by Royal Enfield's refined 349cc air-oil-cooled J-series engine. Known for its robust life and low vibrations worldwide, this engine produces a powerful 20.2 bhp at 6100 rpm and generates 27 Nm of torque at 4000 rpm. It provides excellent pickup and balance in heavy city traffic.
The 5-speed gearbox is exceptionally smooth, with an added slip-and-assist clutch that reduces arm fatigue during frequent gear changes. At speeds of 90-100 km/h, the engine remains incredibly quiet, enhancing long journeys with comfort and excitement.
Mileage
The most compelling aspect of the Hunter 350 is its impressive fuel economy. It offers an ARAI-certified mileage of approximately 36.2 km/l in real-world conditions, achieving around 32 to 34 km/l in urban driving and up to 37 km/l on highways. Its robust 13-liter fuel tank ensures you can cover about 450 to 480 kilometers with a single full tank, significantly reducing the need for frequent petrol visits.
Colors and Premium Features
In 2026, Royal Enfield has enhanced the Hunter's color palette by introducing bold and aggressive options. The newly launched Mumbai Yellow and Moonshot White colors are particularly popular with young riders. Mumbai Yellow symbolizes the city's vibrant energy, while Moonshot White offers a premium feel.
The bike includes modern features such as a digital-analog instrument cluster for real-time information like mileage and gear position. It also has Tripper navigation, making long rides convenient. Dual-tone colors add to its stylish appeal, with the Metro Rebel variant offering premium dual-tone looks.
