Can Royal Enfield Hunter 350 be used for off-road rides?

17 April 2025 19:15

The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 can be adapted and used for off-road rides, although it may require some modifications. The bike's sturdy frame and reliable 349cc single-cylinder engine provide a solid foundation. Upgrading the suspension, adding knobby tires such as the Shinko Trail Tire SR20, and modifying the exhaust system can enhance its off-road capabilities. These modifications allow the bike to handle gravel, dirt, and more challenging terrains with ease. The bike's weight of under 400 pounds and its 31.1-inch seat height also make it manageable on rough roads. However, it's important to note that the stock version may not have enough power for aggressive off-road use, and the suspension might be limiting at higher speeds or over rough terrain.

Can we add kick start to Royal Enfield Hunter 350?

17 April 2025 19:15

The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 does not come with a kickstart option as it is equipped with an electric start system. Adding a kickstart mechanism would require significant modifications to the engine and electrical system, which is not a straightforward or recommended process given the bike's design and modern features.

Will the Hunter 450 get modern amenities like ride by wire and riding modes?

10 January 2025 12:20

I hope they keep it simple. What I like about the Hunter is its back to basics charm. That could be ruined by adding too much tech.

Will the Hunter 450 cannibalize sales of the 350 model?

10 January 2025 12:20

I do not think it will cannibalize sales much. Newer riders and those on a budget will still reach for the 350. For more experienced riders looking for a bit more oomph, the 450 will probably be their preferred ride.

How will the suspension of the Hunter 450 compare to the 350?

10 January 2025 12:20

It's going to be a compromise, I would guess. A bit softer than the 350 for comfort’s sake, but not too plush for sharp handling. Thicker fork tubes and a better rear shock maybe.

How much power will the Hunter 450 have for highway use?

10 January 2025 12:20

Depends on what you mean by "highway use." Yeah, for short jaunts between cities. If you’re taking long interstate trips, maybe something bigger would be better.

How will the Hunter 450 price relative to competitors?

10 January 2025 12:20

They will price it premium I think, around 2.6 to 2.7 lakh. People will pay for the bigger engine and the RE badge and the Hunter brand is strong.

How does the Hunter 350’s pillion comfort fare in its segment?

10 January 2025 12:16

It's better than I expected. In fact, the compact size actually makes it easier for my wife to get on and off than larger bikes. We've gone a couple 2 hour rides without issue.

Should new riders consider the Hunter 350, or are there better options in the market?

10 January 2025 12:16

If you want something, it depends. The Hunter's a nice bike if you're looking at the RE experience without the bulk of their other Bikes. If you need just a simple commuter, there are cheaper options.

Is the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 really worth all the hype or is it just another overhyped Royal Enfield?

10 January 2025 12:16

I am a long time RE fan, and so I was a bit skeptical at first. I get it now, though, after riding my friend's Hunter. It’s not perfect, but it’s a step in the right direction for the brand. If you understand what RE is doing here, the hype is justified.

One thing that wasn’t obvious until you ran into a few people who had owned one of the Hunter 350 is that, even with Royal Enfield’s notorious recent reliability then and consistent records now, the new Hunter seems even worse.

10 January 2025 12:16

It’s reliable if you stay on top of maintenance, I think. I’ve seen a lot of the issues from people not riding according to the service schedule or pushing the bike too hard too soon before the break in period is completed.

Is the Hunter 350's lighter weight and nimble handling somehow a trade off of the classic Royal Enfield 'feel' that we're used to?

10 January 2025 12:16

It's just different 'feel' but not necessarily worse. I think it's more playful and less intimidating, and will attract new riders to the brand. It's still got RE DNA, just evolved.

Which is the best choice: Hunter 350 or Honda Hornet 2.0?

13 January 2023 11:10

Both Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and the Honda Hornet 2.0 are great motorcycles in their own right. The Hunter 350 is a great bike for those looking for an affordable, yet stylish small-capacity motorcycle. It has a retro design, great handling and friendly nature that makes it attractive to new riders. On the other hand, the Hornet 2.0 has great handling dynamics and a frugal engine. It also has features such as USD fork and LED lighting which give it a premium feel. However, the lack of engine excitement may put a damper on some riders. Ultimately, we suggest that you take a test ride of both the bikes to decide which one suits you better.

13 January 2023 11:09

The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is a great option for those looking for an entry-level motorcycle with a classic vibe. With its Retro variant, the Hunter 350 offers a simpler semi-digital instrument console and wire-spoked rims with tube tyres for a classic look. While the entry-level Retro variant features a drum brake at the rear and single-channel ABS, the other two variants come with dual-channel ABS. Additionally, the Retro variant has a different set of switchgear borrowed from its older models. The top variant also has the option of the Tripper navigation assist. The headlight on the base model doesn’t have a pilot lamp, unlike the other two variants, and the taillight is a halogen unit compared to the LED one on the mid and top models. The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is a great option for those looking for a classic look and good performance at an affordable price.
