3 Things We Dislike | Royal Enfield Hunter FAQ #3

  • One, Royal Enfield put in a strangely stiff rear suspension setup, a mistake they went on to repeat with the Super Meteor 650 too, and that ruins a large part of what should be a fun and lively motorcycle experience. Instead, especially on city roads, you remain painfully aware of how little the rear absorbs at most speeds and in most situations.
    Two. This is compounded by the fact that the Ceats that Royal Enfield uses for the Hunter are not very good. They feel slightly slippery even in dry conditions and what confidence the bike's size and effort brings, the tyres sap.
    Three. The most annoying part about the Hunter is how much worse it feels to ride at highway speeds. While RE didn't change the gearing, the smaller wheels on the Hunter give it the shortest gearing between the three 350s. This makes highway speeds the most busy-feeling on the Hunter. And we're just not ready for a city-specific 350cc motorcycle in a single-bike garage country.

    I bought hunter last month.
    1) it was painful to go for long ride in bumpy roads, many times i had to stand up Just to protect my back from potholes and speed breakers
    2) very poor visibility during night
    3) mileage was around 30-32 , even though i was not throttling hard and maintained average speed
    4) mirrors were not that great
    5) very slippery
    5) excellent ride for city traffic and. Good roads with curves.

    1. I got MRFs on my Rebel Blue Hunter 350. They're better than the Ceats
    2. Mirrors are useless at 80+ kmph
    3. The exhaust sound gets better once the engine heats up
    4. The seat is not good for long rides
    5. Suspension seems ok for my 6.2 height and weight
    6. The joy of riding my Hunter makes up for all these caveats, for now.

    Whatever the specs and the feel may be, it's a Royal Enfield and you're getting it for 1.5 lac starting and that's all that matters by now. Royal Enfield has reached that destination where people buy them just by their brand name.
    Also, hunter is focused as a commuter not a tourer motorcycle. Mainly for city use like those hero and TVS bikes that come for around 1 lac but being a royal Enfield it is ok to cost 1.5 lac for this commuter being a Royal Enfield and with the 350cc engine looking at the size only. However it is tractable though.

    I think RE hadn't any plan for the hardcore RE customers in this field this time when they were launching this bike because people with short height and young generation like me were starving to own an RE bike and RE has given this type of city bike to us. As a short height customer I am happy with this bike and feel great.
    Maybe taller riders won't feel that much comfort who are going on highway on this bike.
    This bike clearly targets those who want to own an RE but they dont have that Weight to hold the bike plus short height and low budget😊😊.

      ​@@arindamadhikary1844 Two college kids in my society got the Hunter. When I asked them why they didn't choose the Classic they both said they found it too heavy. They wanted a RE but they didn't want to manage the extra weight of the Classic.
      Another point for the Hunter is that it's below the 2l mark which is a psychological mark for buying a bike.

    I'll share something about the single bike garage point. Mine is the same, to the extent that that single bike has to be ridden by 2 people taking turns (bro)! In such a scenario, the purchase decision cannot be 1 person's alone. My preferences were slightly more powerful, more nimble, slightly sporty bike. My brother's was fuel economy, on road price, easy & comfortable (rider & pillion), subtle looks (nothing brash). We ended up buying the Hunter. Recently took it for a long ride solo for 3 days. I can probably give up the top end power considering legal speed limits, but the suspension stiffness, particularly since I'm 5.11, makes long tours testy. I ended up riding it in a supersport position on the highway @ 80kmph to rest my lumbar. I wanted the MT-15 or the R15 instead of this, as the engine felt joyful & tractable for the city, and powerful & torquey for highway sportiness. Loved the Scram 411 looks, but felt the 19inchers made it not so nimble, flat tyre fears, & mildly out of budget. Still yearning for something more powerful, & going to save up money & get the Duke 390 or the upcoming RE 450 roadster or the Triumph one. Need more roadsters that are good all rounders.

    I was actually going to buy one as a second bike alongside my 390 Duke last Diwali. It seemed like a great package for intracity use and quite affordable. I test rode one and liked it. It wasn't particularly exciting but it was comfortable and easy to ride. However, I test rode the Scram right after that and immediately dropped the Hunter from my list. The difference in torque was immediately noticeable.
    I then played around with ideas and ended up buying an Interceptor. Most fun bike I have ever owned!
    The Hunter's base (Retro) variant looks like the perfect candidate for a classic Trials bike conversion. Just install the front fork and wheel of the Scram and longer rear shocks. It's only an idea. Not one I intend to implement.

    totally agree with the points. this is first bike I bought. It has been 6 months. sometimes I feel like selling it. Total pain in the ass specially with a pilion rider for outside city ride( forget about 400/600 km ride). the thing I hate the most is the top speed. Above 90 feels like the bike is dying. Come on RE. Why did you give a 350 cc engine?Only to get less milage?No match for 150 cc MT or other 150 cc bike. My suggestion-- don't buy. If you still wanna buy take a 50 km continuous test drive. Only two positives-great look and great handling.
