this is the new Hunter 350 from Royal Enfield and in this video I'm going to give it a full
review and tell you what this bike is like and is it any different to the classic 350
and the meteor please excuse my voice in this video I've got a horrible cold and I've just
come back from Amsterdam so I'm trying to use uh whatever brain cells are active today
to bring you this video um so the hunter has got a 349 CC single cylinder engine the same
one that you would have seen in the meteor and the Classic 350. this is a lovely engine
it's very low powered so it's only producing 20.2 brake horsepower at 6100 RPM but this
spike is not about power at all so you might as well not even know that figure and forget
it exists because it's irrelevant to this bike torque wise it produces 27 newton meters
at 4000 RPM and it does feel like it's got some nice torque so when you do try and overtake
maybe a slow-moving cyclist or a little bit of traffic you can get past them with ease
and it pulls up the hills nicely so I really like this engine and it sounds wonderful a
lovely deep tick over and it just sounds absolutely superb and it's got loads said loads of character
so let me know what you think of this engine but I think it's gorgeous really really nice
now because it's so low powered this bike is very suited to beginner Riders perhaps
a first bike this would be fantastic it's very confidence inspiring and it's not got
enough power to go and end up in a hedge all saying that you could end up in a hedge on
a 50cc do be careful um but yeah it really is confidence inspiring so if you're looking
for a first bike that's not too powerful has all the looks and isn't too expensive this
is the best bike you could probably think of all the classic all the meteor depending
on your style or if you're looking for a second bike maybe for commuting this would be great
for that it is marketed as a city bike and it would be perfect for that in and out of
traffic it's narrow the bars are quite narrow so you'd swive in and out of traffic very
nicely but if you're looking for something to do a bit more spirited riding on then you
probably want to look at the Interceptor or the Continental GT which we have absolutely
love but this is a great little machine I really love it
so in terms of handling this bike is very Nimble many of that thanks to a couple of
changes they've made so comparing it to the classic you've got on this one 17 inch wheels
on the front and the rear whereas the classic had a 19 inch on the front and an 18 on the
rear so that boosts maneuverability and also they've moved the position of the pegs so
on the classic the pegs were about here so the brake lever was coming out to about here
so on this one they've moved it back probably about six inches or maybe even further personally
I prefer the riding position of the classic but that is very much personal preference
and probably for City riding this is more suited to that so not really a complaint just
a personal preference thing The Wheels on the hunter are Alloys and you'll be pleased
to know they've got two tubeless tires which many of you will be happy about I just love
the look of spoked wheels so I love those spoke wheels on the classic but these are
really nice too and you've got a single disc brake on the front and the rear the stopping
power is really really good so I wouldn't change anything there either
[Music] foreign
wise this bike looks very familiar but not of something from Royal Enfield let me know
what you think this bike looks like but I think it looks like a bit of a Bonneville
it looks like a baby Bonneville and that's interesting because I don't know if you've
seen the leaks but triumphs are supposedly making a baby Bonneville so it'll be interesting
to see how that compares to this because this is such a value for money bike whereas I don't
think Triumph are going to be able to make something as good Valley for money as this
is Royal Enfield just have that down to a t value for money is what they do and they
deliver every single time and it baffles me I don't know how they do it but they do it
foreign
starts from 3899 pounds in the UK and that's in the Dapper collection of colors and then
you've got the rebel colors so this is a rebel blue and these are starting from 3979 so all
in all it's a brilliant value for money bike cheaper than some one two fives out there
I mean from Honda and things like that they're more expensive than this and I know I'd rather
have this so let me know what you think of this bike and the price point but I'm always
impressed by the price points of Royal enfields they're just so good value for money suspension
set up on the hunter it's just a standard telescopic Forks on the front and you've got
a six adjustable preload on the shocks on the rear I can't felt it it goes over the
bumps nicely so no issues there um and this bike is really really light so it weighs just
over 180 kilograms and it feels incredibly light I've just had to move it out of the
way for someone to come past and it's so effortless if I was doing this on my bike I'd probably
be in the ditch by now so yeah really really light and nimble
good [Music]
[Music] the fuel tank is 13 liters and Triumph claim this bike will do just over 100 miles
per gallon and that's pretty impressive and in this day and age and this time where fuel
prices are ridiculously high and we're in a bit of a cost of living crisis to say the
least bikes like these are becoming more and more appealing they're cheap to buy they're
cheap to run they're cheap to ensure so if you want a cheap run around this is your answer
um yeah what more can I say so in terms of display and dials and things like that this
bike is very basic and that's what we like if I'm watching the channel you'll know that
we're a fan of analog and not too much faff going on that doesn't need to be and this
is exactly that so you've got a small digital display in the middle which tells you the
very Basics how much fuel you've got how many miles you've done you've got a tripometer
and things like that you've got the time and what gear you're in and this bike has got
five gears really nice smooth gearbox I've got to mention that but no complaints there
either you've also got your miles per hour and your kilometers per hour as an analog
dial around the edge which I like the look of one thing this bike's missing which would
be really nice is that little navigation thing I forgot what they call it but for a city
bike I think that'll come in nice and handy but due to shortages of chips and things like
that there's something that's affecting the bikes manufacturers around the world and car
manufacturers they can't do it so later on it will be available and you can then upgrade
and put that on your bike but as standard it doesn't come with it unfortunately
following on from my previous point I forgot to mention that it doesn't show you the RPMs
either um so that'd be nice to know but it's up to you whether that's an important thing
for you or not probably not around the city to be honest uh the Sea Hunt is 790 millimeters
I am six foot one thereabouts and this is what I look like sat on the bike so it does
feel a little bit small for me I must admit but it doesn't feel uncomfortable at all it
feels very comfortable actually and it puts you back in a nice position um you know nice
and upright so feeling wise it feels fine but I might just look a bit small on it so
you let me know in the comments below what I look like sat on top of it but really it's
probably as with most bikes these days set up for someone who's about five foot nine
five foot ten the average height even though that's going up now so maybe we'll start seeing
bigger bikes as people turn into Giants who knows um but yeah that's that oh and also
this side stand is very upright so the angle in which it's at the bikes literally stood
directly upright so if you're on a slight slope I'd watch out that it doesn't tip over
so make sure you make sure it's definitely in whenever you stop the bike you've also
got a center stand which I haven't tried and I'm bloody hopeless it's dentastand so let's
have a go
I'm not even going to try that
the mirrors are adequate you can see about half the road behind me um bar and mirrors
would be better for Sight but then they'd be too wide for lane splitting which this
but is perfect for so I wouldn't move them you've got a rear seat a step up seat which
looks really nice nice and comfortable very nice and padded on the back as well and you've
got those rear pegs there as well so you can take a pillion I think this bike perhaps would
be a little bit sluggish up the hills like steep hills where I live some people think
Hills are like tiny little things but we've got proper hills around here so if you had
someone on the back it might struggle a bit going up those Hills but I haven't actually
tested that so that's just an assumption so don't take that as literal speaking and if
you've taken someone on the back of one of these or a classic or a meteor let me know
and tell me how it handle it but yeah it'd be interesting to know foreign
