Royal Enfield Australia and New Zealand have confirmed the pricing for the Hunter 350 which is due to hit showrooms next week.
Pricing starts at $7,590 for the Dapper styles and $7,690 for the Rebel. The Hunter will arrive in January 2023 and will come backed by a three-year unlimited kilometre warranty and 3 years of roadside assistance.
The Hunter takes Royal Enfield’s 350cc J-series engine platform in a new sporty direction rather than the relaxed easy-going nature of the Classic 350 and Meteor. Power remains a learner-friendly 20.2 hp at 6100 rpm and 27 Nm of torque at 4000 rpm.
Available in the Dapper and Rebel editions, both are equipped with alloy wheels and wider 110/70 x 17” front and 140/70 x 17” rear tubeless tyres for superior handling and muscular good looks. Braking comes in the form of 300mm front and 270mm rear disc brakes, backed by the obligatory dual channel ABS, and a handy centre stand is also standard equipment.
An LED tail lamp and digital-analogue instrument cluster that displays an odometer, trip meter, gear indicator, fuel graph bar with low fuel warning, clock and a service reminder complete this stylish package. All Hunter editions feature uncluttered handlebar controls, their rotary power and lighting switches giving a gentle nod to the past, and are fitted with a USB charging port.
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 low 800mm seat height and a shorter wheelbase, Hunter’s superior manoeuvrability to its stablemates is designed to encourage greater confidence when carving through cramped streets and feel planted and stable in every location and situation.
Aimed at a younger lifestyle and motorcycling audience, the Hunter is available to order online through pre-registration on the royalenfieldmotorcycles.co.nz website. Complimenting the trendy looks is a collection of purpose-built Lifestyle Apparel and Genuine Motorcycle Accessories specific to the Hunter 350.
