Nevertheless, Royal Enfield is also gearing up to introduce a new retro motorcycle on 7th August 2022 that is rumoured to be named the Hunter 350. This latest from Royal Enfield is expected to be the most affordable Enfield motorcycle offered in the country. On multiple occasions, it has been spotted on test with a single-piece seat, a stubby exhaust, and ten-spoke alloys or spoke wheels.
The upcoming Royal Enfield Hunter will be powered by the same 349cc, single-cylinder, air and oil-cooled, FI engine that does duty in the RE Meteor 350 and new-gen Classic 350 as well.
