Royal Enfield has a neo-retro roadster model in the pipeline. Rumoured to be called the Hunter 350, the new bike could be launched in August, this year.

The Hunter 350 is said to be based on Royal Enfield’s J-platform. It will be powered by the same 349cc, single-cylinder engine that is offered on the Meteor and Classic. This motor puts out 20 BHP and 27 Nm.

As per leaked images, the Hunter 350 will get a circular headlamp, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank and a short tail section with a single-piece seat.

The Hunter 350 is likely to get Y-spoke alloy wheels and disc brakes at both ends. The suspension looks pretty conventional too with telescopic forks at the front and twin shock absorbers at the rear.
