Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Review | Beyond the Ride

The Royal Enfield Meteor and Classic have a new brother in the stable. This is the Hunter 350, and its on this Beyond the Ride review with Jinno Rufino. Positioned as a "younger" Royal Enfield, it dons colorful paint, a very manageable engine, and a very approachable seat height. For 233,000 Philippine Pesos, does it have enough charisma to get in the game? Let's go beyond the ride.
The Meteor and Classic now has another brother in the stable. This is the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 on this episode of Beyond the Ride.

Hunter is very much friendly for touring. The chassis is excellent in cruising at 60 mph, and No cross winds are move the bike because of weight. This bike meant for commuting and occasional long drive

[@mickstafford456]

I'm 61, have been riding since I was 17. Currently have a Sniper 150 and an R3. Later this year I am seriously considering selling the R3 and buying either a Hunter or a Scram 411 as a replacement. No expressways here in Iligan City, so that isn't an issue.

Got mine last Friday! Solid bike and really fun, flickable, nimble, and extremely comfortable even during traffic.

How was it sir? Am really really eager to try one. Idk what motorcycle suits me. I’ve owned scooters before and am planning to buy one.

​​@@rodentrodent7836 i guess you are filipino bro , if you are average size go for it this doesn't suit well for tall heavyweight guys . this bike fits well for Asian conditions for chill rides, good for city rides and country side rides , decent mileage.. classic350 or 500 (if available there ) get one you'll love it they are under same budget.

[@TheTwinPost]

Hunter is offered with spoke rims as well and that's actually an entry level variant and costs the least amount of money at least here in India.

[@GrimYak]

. we have the 400cc rule where only 400cc and above can go on the freeways and expressways. the pricing of this is also in the range of other 400cc bikes with the likes of the NK400 from CFMOTO and the 400i from Bristol motorcycles, both of which can travel the expressways. the 650s are selling like hotcakes, these ones I am not too sure,

[@TheTwinPost]

@@GrimYak Hunter/Meteor 350 definitely is not a high speed freeway capable motorcycle. It is a 350cc bike but of a classic understressed nature. For example a Harley Street 750 cannot be compared with a Kawasaki Z800 or a Suzuki GSX S750... completely different machines with different characters.

[@GrimYak]

@@TheTwinPost it is capable as freeway here minimum is only 80kph. The problem here is price to displacement and if someone is on the fence about it the 400cc rule comes in and this bike automatically gets off the list

Going chill is my jam, sometimes I find myself going 25 mph and have to speed up. I love taking in the sights when I ride. This maybe my next bike.

[@skt1731]

Exactly, no cruising or racing crap for me. This fits the bill perfectly for affordable efficient city commuting while enjoying country roads to a heart's content. What a good looking, economical, fun to ride but no nonsense machine.

[@josephbatz7803]

I just bought this bike after looking this video. 👍🏻 Greetings from Guatemala

[@ispirikitiktong]

IT'S NICE THAT A LOT OF GOOD LOOKING AND AFFORDABLE BIKES ARE NOW AVAILABLE OUT THERE.. BRISTOL, BENELLI AND THIS ROYAL ENFIELD

[@pawelwolski1316]

I have owned 30 plus bikes in my life, from 1000cc monsters to Asian market 150s. I have 500 km on my Hunter, the clutch, smooth with nice feeling pull has way too narrow engagement point. The actual clutch actuation uses like 10% of the clutch lever travel when it should use lets say 25%. Both levers are on the far side for distance from the grips, I have big hands and am at the comfort/safety limit. Smaller hands riders, make sure the levers fit you. The other engineering issue are the rear springs, which are way too stiff (unless u are 120 kgs). There is minimal static and with my 75 kgs, minimal rider sag. The rear end is a pogo stick over sharp bumps. rest of the bike is spot on and a joy to ride.

[@EdgeMasterPro]

I have put 2000km on my hunter. -Agree regarding the lever reach even for my long fingers it is a struggle. I have tried after market Hitchcock levers great quality but wrong shape of my hand back to stock -I have replaced the rock hard rear shocks (and I am 88-90kg), with k-speed diablo $300AU delivered to door much better. -clutch lever your right not much travel in the friction point -love the allow rims not way I want to be cleaning spoked rims

[@aakeon9149]

they drew me in with the meteor, got me hooked on the hunter, and then when I went in to look at the bikes I was convinced to get a scram because of my height (6'3"). and very similar in terms of looks. I love my little scram 411

[@zmaz3898]

this bike is breeze... I'm really seeing forward buying this..its such a handsome and elegant motercycle unlike dukes

[@andrewvickers4487]

Very slick video 👍 Enjoyed hearing your original thoughts and lots of details you don't often hear about in other reviews - well done. I too would prefer the look of spoked rims on this bike but would still choose alloys for the tubeless tyres. Thanks!

[@anthonypatrickmontemayor647]

A toss and turn having two adventure bikes Jinno..hehehe. Take this one for your urban rides, perhaps to chill out for a coffee. Appreciate pointing out the cramped foot stand and when you have your obr. Somewhat RE thought this design for a single rider hmm. As always, detailed review delivered 👍

i also started with 100-150 cc but skipped 200- 250 range and now buying 350 cc

I really dig this one. Only thing that preventing me to score one is the displacement. Too low for expressway and too high for daily.

Exactly! Kumbaga, andun na eh, pero kulang

[@dannyd8918]

Love the scrambler look. It’s like the cheaper alternative to the Honda CL500, which is not available here in America yet. But the Hunter 350 is, and at MSRP 3899.00 USD Compared to the 7500 CL500, it’s a great deal.

[@jeck54]

Liking how those look. Great review, man.

[@crg9864]

I'm glad indian motorcycles are selling well in the Philippines bajaj and royal Enfield are doing a great job but I still think most Filipinos will prefer the dominar 400 as it seems to be quite the popular big bike over there

[@tombombadilofficial]

For every 7 or 8 Filipinos riding a Dominar 400, there’s probably one riding an RE 350.

[@Yeahitsme101]

Good to see those numbers as someone lived in the Philippines i felt like RE are perfect for filipino conditions hopefully their business booms there ..

[@fro5210]

As a Filipino, the sentiment of my fellow Pinoy, it is much more logical and financially wise to buy the Dominar 400, than RE Hunter 350. We have a 400cc and above expressway (highway) legal rule in Luzon area. If we didn't have such rule, this will be a, much, much more popular than Dominar 400. Only very few Filipino will buy this. This MC is included in my lost of MC that I will buy as a first MC.

[@herbertbinoya1126]

I'm from the other end of Metro's expressway. Passing thru McArthur on a weekly basis with a bike is very much a hassle, The Hunter looks like the one I want, just a 50cc more, or 20. she could definitely fit the bill.

I really dislike spoke rims. Hard to clean and looks way too retro and the tube is a real issue. Plus alloys look a bit more modern retro rather than full retro which is my taste

[@anubhavgupta3522]

THIS MODEL COSTS 2000 USD IN INDIA. AND ITS DAMN RELIABLE. HATS OFF TO ROYAL ENFIELD FOR MAKING SUCH BEAUTIES

[@peacebewu]

I LOVE the style, but not being expressway legal could be a deal breaker for a lot of people. As you've said, I think people who have a more disposable income could choose this.

[@bfarm44]

Was all set to go purchase one then Triumph introduced the Speed 400 with double the horse power only 50cc larger engine. I don’t know if Royal Enfield deliberately screwed up or just don’t care what consumers really want but 20 horsepower out of a 350 is really poor. Lost my purchase to Triumph. 40 yrs riding and I can’t figure out where they went wrong. Maybe they should sit down with the Triumph engineers and build a better engine for the next generation because this is simply lacking too much

[@juanplus3324]

I believe that cafe racer have straight rame forthe seat. The dip on the hunter frame is more suited for bobbers.

I would've preferred it if they put the 650cc twin cylinders to have that sweet sounding 270° crank! Because this looks better than the 650s, minus the engine.
