These type of reviews are so underrated. True, concise, and transparent. All reviews nowadays are so much edited and cinematically beautiful that it stops being organic. This was my favourite review of the bike. And i am a potential buyer rn.

Great review, bike is pretty much wonderfully crafted. I have electra and hunter.. I can feel the difference real true. Handling is good... For my height I added a handle bar raiser, this gives great posture and comfort. I rode to munnar 1 week back. Great experience.

Took the bike briefly on horrible roads with potholes and steep bumps. Suspension is a bit on the stiffer side but I liked it. If you’re physically used to it, it’s all great! It loves to lean and it’s fantastic for the city. I’m sure this would be great for the highway too. Thanks for the video!

The 4 kg weaight difference in between Retro & Metro, does feel any difference in Ride & Handling. And I like the single Retro colors more appealing then the Metro Single & Dual Tone colors. Specially Retro in Black.........

[@bigbearbangalore]

We have not ridden the Retro and considering that it’s got spoke wheels we think that it will feel little more nimble than the Metro. And yes it’s a good looker too and true to its name, Retro! Cheers!

[@dracula878]

Greetings, First of all, thanks for the great review! My questions is how good is the hunter compared to Xpulse? I stay in Bangalore and do not do much offroading, maybe would take weekend rides travelling to Hyderabad. Please advise.

[@bigbearbangalore]

Thanks and glad you liked the review. The two are quite different. Both are amazing for city commute with the Xp having an advantage on suspension and mileage. On the highway the Hunter will be more stable and will perform better especially when riding doubles, plus the tubeless tyres. If the roads that you mostly ride are relatively smooth then the Hunter is the way to go and is more rewarding and fun on good roads. Xpulse shines on bad roads and anywhere else it feels just a regular motorcycle. Tough choice though!! 😀 Cheers!

I am 6feet, I wanted something for daily commute in Banglore city, and also take it out on maybe 100-200Km rides on weekends. This looked like a great option to me, except the height. I am uncertain if it will look to small if I drive it. What's your opinion?

[@bigbearbangalore]

Hi! Once you start riding the Hunter, it is so much fun that you won't care how it looks, small or big. Take a long test ride and decide. Cheers!

Ronin vs Hunter Dapper variant considering same budget for City Traffic and 5.5' height.

We’ve not ridden the Ronin yet and are looking forward to trying it. You must take a long test ride of both and choose what you feel good on. Cheers!

Suspensions are super stiff... That can be a deal breaker for someone who dont want any back problems... I am planning to try classic suspensions and check if that makes any difference...

[@nikhilnayak3268]

I was been for a test ride wasn’t happy with suspension I don’t know whether that bike had an issues with suspension can you be more specific and say me in words is this bike would be perfect for Bangalore roads without any hurts on back ?

[@bigbearbangalore]

If you have a sensitive back and the roads you regularly commute are bad, then go for a motorcycle with a soft and long travel suspension like the Xpulse. And considering the condition of Bangalore roads, the perfect motorcycle would be a motocross one!!

[@nikhilnayak3268]

Not like sensitive or something I have my Xpulse but now planning to switch to hunter but recently was been too test drive I wasn’t happy at all with that suspensions so. I don’t whether that test drive bike had an issue so to cross check I asked you about the suspension sir

[@nikhilnayak3268]

Motocross one which one you are talking about ?

[@CowKora]

@@nikhilnayak3268 Bosky meant the Xpulse when he mentioned motocross. Cheers

[@bigbearbangalore]

Ah! You own an Xpulse! Nice! Arguable one of the best suspensions is on the Xpulse. And if one is used to it then almost all other motorcycle suspensions will feel hard for sure. And my reference to motocross is to the rally suspension that’s available for the Xpulse. Cheers!

Mr. Bosky, hw much would be the on road price of mid variant white beauty in Bengaluru after all that accessories you mentioned you add on in your Hunter?

[@bigbearbangalore]

The on road is 199,800/- and the touring seat, pillion backrest and visor accessories are about 14,000/- I think.

[@LetsClarifyIt]

their is gap between tank and handle they would have put tank little further and provided more seat length , splendor provide more better pillion comfortable then , royal Enfield would have think on this, really bad design towards comfort

Hii friend , is this bike is suitable for back pain people or only for young people..

[@bigbearbangalore]

Hello! Back pain is a horrible thing and there are too many ways that motorcycling can trigger back pain, from handlebar to seat to suspension. I can’t say if this motorcycle will or will not cause. The best is to take a long test ride and find out for oneself. And the Hunter has nothing so drastic in its design to call it suitable for either the young or the old. Cheers!
