The Himalayan and Meteor motorcycles from Royal Enfiled have just undergone two important upgrades. Due to a shortage of semiconductor chips, Royal Enfield, like all other automakers, has chosen to temporarily stop offering the tripper navigation option as standard on its Himalayan and Meteor 350 models. With these bikes, you can still have this option, but you’ll have to go with the Make-It-Yours programme.

- Royal Enfield has previously declared that a new motorcycle will be released every three months for the next two to three years. On March 15, 2022, the business released the Scram 411. The new Hunter 350 is slated to hit the market in mid-2022, most likely in June or July.
- The new RE Hunter 350 will be built on the brand’s new ‘J’ platform, which also serves as the foundation for the RE Meteor 350 and the new Classic 350. The new base, according to the manufacturer, improves straight line and cornering stability without sacrificing comfort.
- The Classic and the Meteor are anticipated to share cycle parts. The bike is believed to come equipped with a 370mm front disc and a 270mm rear disc, as well as a dual-channel ABS system. It will be equipped with telescopic front forks and twin rear shock absorbers.
- The exhaust note of the new Hunter 350 is also revealed in various spy videos. It has a distinct sound from the Classic 350 and the Meteor 350. It sounds sportier, implying that the engine’s nature differs from that of the Meteor or Classic.
- A single-piece seat, relaxed ergonomics, retro-styled round headlamps, a rounded fuel tank, and a tripper navigation system will be included on the new motorcycle.
- The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and the Meteor 350 will share the same powerplant. It will be propelled by a 349cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine with an OHC arrangement. This engine produces a peak torque of 27Nm and a maximum power output of 20.2bhp. A 6-speed gearbox will send power to the back wheels.
