Ahead of its India launch, the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 has been spotted at a dealership. The launch is expected to take place in early August which is right around the corner. The bike was spotted in production-ready form and was seen at a dealer warehouse. As per the pictures, there will be two color options available. The first is a single-tone silver shade while the second is a white and blue dual-tone color. This is similar to the Lake Blue paint on the Royal Enfield Himalayan. The Silver Hunter 350 gets wire spoke wheels instead of alloys which leads us to believe that there will be two variants on offer.

Other features like a round shape for the rear-view mirrors, a tear-drop-shaped fuel tank, an asymmetrically-mounted instrument cluster, a single-piece seat, a compact exhaust canister, alloy wheels, upswept exhaust, wide tires, redesigned side panels, a muscular front look, and split grab rails can be seen in the spy photos.
According to a leaked type-approval document, the Hunter 350 will get the power from the same engine as Meteor 350, A 349cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine with an OHC design. This engine makes 20.2 hp power at 6,100 rpm and 27 Nm torque at 4,000 rpm, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. Additionally, the engine will allow for lower emissions and instant acceleration. These documents also revealed that the bike is based on the J architecture and will come with a 1,370 mm wheelbase, an 800m of width, 2,055 mm length, and 1,055 mm of overall height.
With a sleeker and compact rear end, Hunter 350 is expected to receive an instrument cluster comprising a separate pod for the Google-powered Tripper Navigation system and a digital reading shows information like the fuel gauge as an optional accessory. The Hunter 350 will also come with the option of drum brakes or disc brakes at the rear as seen in the spy shots. It is also expected to come equipped with single-channel ABS. Once launched, the Hunter 350 will become the cheapest offering from Royal Enfield.
