Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Design
Keeping the timeless design elements from the 1960s and 1970s is something Royal Enfield does exceptionally well with the Hunter 350. This is the traditional standard build that is further enhanced by the fact that it is also covered by UJM.
The tripletree, fork gaiters, and blackout suspension are nested behind a high-side front fender. This blackness covers the entire front end, including the handlebar risers, mirrors, cyclops headlight housing and the bar itself.
The switchgear minimises things and the instrumentation consists of two asymmetrical round gauges. If you’re into that kind of thing, the traditional teardrop fuel tank unlocks some body English elements and holds a respectable 3.4 gallons (13 litres) before tapering towards the rear to give shorter riders a break.
To separate the two levels, a bench-style seat gently offsets vertically to prop up the pilot and pillion. Rearward tubular J.C. handle and main frame-mount foldable footpegs round out the passenger amenities. Nestled above the mudguard that completes the gear in the back are the taillight and the blinkers.
