Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Likely To Be Available in Three Variants

Royal Enfield is set to debut the new Hunter 350 in the coming days. Ahead of its debut, new details have emerged about the variants of the upcoming motorcycle. While there is little left to talk about in terms of styling with near-production models having been spied recently with wire-spoke and alloy wheels, the motorcycle is expected to go on sale in three variants.

As per details leaked online, the base Hunter 350 will be called the Retro and will get you bits such as 17-inch wire-spoke wheels, single-channel ABS, a 300 mm front disc brake, a drum brake at the rear and conventional bulbs in the light clusters. The bike is also expected to lack a main stand and get a simpler instrument cluster as compared to higher variants. The variant is expected to only be available in two colours – Silver and Black.

The Metro is also expected to get meatier tyres at 110/70 and 140/70 front and rear respectively as against the Retro’s 100/80 and 120/80 front and rear. The Metro is expected to come in White, Ash and Grey exterior colours.
