Great! You are the first Indian RUclipsr to point out the missing bottom part of the chassis, and the resulting higher vibrations than the Meteor/Classic NG. My best wishes to you! I'm a Meteor owner, the first thing I noticed about this bike is the Chasis only.
I see that this is a very honest review. Great job. The RE did a great breakthrough in the last 5 years. Amazing. Enjoyed. Got my like here, just like always.
I actually booked this today after a test ride, but I was still eager to see what this guy had to say about it. The reviews are so spot on from Strell!
Hey Strell, whenever a new bike comes into our market, there's a handful of reviewers I'm really really a fan of. And you're absolutely in my top 3. Big fan. And an amazing review as always!
I have been searching for the most satisfying and relevant reviews of a hunter 350 as I am planning for it and found this video... I admire your efforts brother and thank you for making this video... Now I am confirm about my decision
Hey Strell, can you please review TVS Ronin and please compare with RE Hunter as well if possible. Most of the new buyers are really confused between these two.
Go for RE . LOL .WE are makin u more confused with 😂comments. Bro btw i sugest everyone to buy a bike after proper test ride. If maintenance is done properly every bike lasta long. Engine issue is less with tvs in comparison to RE because of stroke ratio difference. (Its natural). RE is specialy for cruising by maintaining a sweet spot of 80s. Tvs ronin sayad se wahi same hi feel dega apache jaise. Dono alag alag feel denge bro. Bt mere hisab se maza RE dega.... Go for it(my suggestion)
Go for RE if you are brand conscious , want raw power and care about what people think . Go for Ronin if you want practical features, smooth engine , reliability and service network . I was in the same dilemma but I solved it by going for the RE Meteor . YOLO 🤘🏻
First of all this bike is amazing I myself took a test drive and i am 115 kg person and my friend who was pillion was 95 but the raid was amazing even the pillion was surprised. He was telling me to buy pulser 200 but later after raiding told hunter 350 was amazing overall and was excited. The pricing in bangalore for top model metro Rebel blue is around 210 without accessories and with them it is 227k you get 5 types of accessories I think. I hope this was helpful
Very Nice review, 33 kmpl overall is great for a 181 kg RE. This bike just looks so awesome.....especially in this blue white combo. 1.hows the breaking? 2. Handling I think can be improved by stickier tyres...say an Alpha H1.
I'm an American Meteor owner, and I LOVE my bike! I'm eagerly awaiting the Hunter's arrival; too bad we don't get it until Q1, 2023... :( As for the weight of the Hunter, I wouldn't find that bad at all; I like it, actually. Why? Because when big trucks pass you or a gust of wind hits you, the bike feels secure and planted on the road; it doesn't feel like you'll be blown off the road or anything. My Meteor is heavy enough to feel secure in all conditions, yet it's light enough to manage easily.
Meteor 350 is only 10KG (22lbs) heavier than Hunter 350. Hunter is not really a lightweight motorcycle. It feels lightweight because of the fantastic weight distribution. When you ride it you will feel that you are riding a 100KG motorcycle. It's extremely easy to handle and easy to maneuver through traffic.
I'm waiting for the super meteor 650 or shotgun 650 to come to the US. Love my meteor but I rode a GT 650 for 3 weeks and it made me want the extra power but in my meteor.
@@thinkdifferent2827 with the increased price of fuel, decreasing speed limits, and lower disposable income, I think that smaller bikes will become more popular here. That's a big reason I got the Meteor; it's inexpensive to own and operate vs. a bigger, heavier, and more powerful motorcycle whose power you cannot use anyway.
Was waiting for this. Also the only pro reviewer who was feeling good about this bike, other reviewers were salty and kept reminding us of Ronin's "superiority", some are even arguing Ronin has better road presence 😂
Tons of reviews are out there for this bike but i don't know why I was just waiting for your review man . The reason I like your video is becoz you not only explain about bike features but also mentions about its usefulness in day to day commuting. Kudos to all your efforts 👍
I have same bike RE Hunter 350 Rebel Blue 💙💙 And it's my first bike and I purchased with my own money and that too with cash payment 🤑 You buy Honda, you buy Yamaha, you buy Hero, You buy TVS But YOU OWN A ROYAL ENFIELD 💫 I am in love with Hunter🔥
@@aabe1541 Engine heating issue is nothing but every new engine's character. After 1st service my bikes engine heating is resolved. Now it feels more smoother and easy to handle. I personally got mileage of about 34 to 36.
I am confused between Classic 350 and Meteor 350, I've been riding RTR200 for last 5 years and now need something bit more powerful and comfortable. I am more inclined towards Meteor 350 mainly because of that Cruiser looks.
If u are new to bikes, in my opinion, there is no better bike to begin your two wheeled journey. Its light, its nimble, it looks good, and def sounds good.
Liked the video because the guy asked her wouldn't ask for a subscribe this video purpose is just for help , that's different 😁😁, a like for that honesty 👍👍
I have few hundred miles on my Hunter here in sunny Indonesia. Few observations from an older rider. Rear shock springs are too stiff, there is almost no static sag and very little rider sag at my 175 lbs. The front is sprung much better (softer) which makes for an un balanced suspension. The rear end is simply not compliant, this is the biggest issue with the bike. I have big hands and find the leavers at the far end of comfortable reach, with the clutch lever adjusted with some extra free play, the clutch is spot on. I wonder how you find the levers in terms of distance from the bars? I would assume, riders with smaller hands would start feeling that the levers are too far. Clutch is nice and smooth with good feeling pull. The engagement point is however on a short/little clutch lever movement side. I wish that the the cam on the clutch was not as aggressive. If I just ride without looking at the speedo, it seems I always end up around 50 mph, the bike is super happy and relaxed. The shock will have to be upgraded, the rest are just few personal observation. It is a great "big" bike, here in Indonesia we ride 150cc mostly.
Doesn't the website say seat height is 790mm? I am not sure because some places mention 800 and some say 790. I was wondering what's the real seat height.
I have never ridden a bike, let alone the Royal Enfield. Planning to buy one as I have shifted from a city to a hilly area. Is Hunter 350 good for a beginner, considering my inexperience and the terrain I am currently in. Thank you.
My comment on this bike will be very helpful to the people 1. I m riding this bike from last three days only. I never drove any bike in my life before.. i m practicing it in a play ground in only Ist and 2nd gear... 2. I found it very heavy when it's in idle mode..but it feels very light weight when i m driving it 3. This bike has alot of power ..since it was my first bike experience I m taking 3 of my friends as pillion and it can't feel their weight .... Still driving in an empity playground...
I think they should have done what the x440 did with the rear suspension. It seems like RE gave up on performance of the suspension so that it looks good at a standstill and x440 gave up on the looks at a stand still for actual performance.
Thanks. I am not sure about how "beginner" you are 😁. But if you are currently on scooters and learning gear shifting and clutch usage, yes this is beginner friendly, once you are comfortable with shifting. But if this is going to be your first IC engine experience, better not to start with this. You can ride a small capacity for couple of months and jump into this.
Beginner as a tourer or highway cruiser? Yes it is. As a beginner in motorcycle driving? Starting with low cc motorcycles would be optimal... and safe for others.
100kmph should be fine with minor vibes...but beyond that you may feel considerable vibes all over.. i have done a few test rides (normal, heavy traffic, night and with pillion) and booked it today....
I am not an expert in this. But I have seen MRFs which comes stock with these bikes are as a part of vfm. Something in Apollo, Micheline or Pirelli will work better..even said that, this motorcycle is not for knee drags. One cam enjoy the twisties. Thats all.
@@iamstrell Thanks for replying And also Is it sensible to change the tyres as soon as we get the motorcycle or do we need to put some kilometres in and then change it?
I love almost everything about this bike but the off center speedometer and the chrome tank gas access, I mean, this bike is fully blacked out for the futuristic metro retro look, why leave this sole detail chromed? It actually triggers my OCD :(
Hi bro ,thank you so much for lovely information .,i am waiting for the delivery of my hunter .which Tyres would you suggest for better grip while cornering ?
Hi Strell.... I really like to watch your reviews man, I enjoy every bit of it .. 👍 Thumbs up for the wonderful reviews you bring for us. Could you please do a review on the retro version of the Hunter? I'm sure many of us would enjoy that too.... Thank you 🙋

Bro do a review of hunter vs cb350rs
Not a drag race it has already been proven that cb350rs smokes hunter
Bro .. RE don’t compare with Honda, TVS or anyother brand … its like androids to iPhone comparison .. that you gone know after 30,000 km
After 1500km , great machine. Value for money ❤
M planning first bike.. can I manage it?
Bro how's the build and engine reliability
Great! You are the first Indian RUclipsr to point out the missing bottom part of the chassis, and the resulting higher vibrations than the Meteor/Classic NG. My best wishes to you! I'm a Meteor owner, the first thing I noticed about this bike is the Chasis only.
but it wont break like a Himalayan during hard rides? lol.. truly a question of stability and rigidity

Not only for the bikes you review but also the way you review a bike is what i like most
Finally after a long wait.. strell❤️
Nice and useful short review. The tires might run better after few more kms
Thanks for the review buddy! This might be my first bike. And I am excited for it.
I really liked your video buddy, it was so calm and informative. Loved it ❤
It sounds like a descent and honest review, Nice job.
Strell please also do a review of the new TVS Ronin 225 and compare both hunter and Ronin as they are similar in terms of pricing
been waiting for this :)
Great way of explanation and detailing every bit, liked your review very much brother.
Visited this channel frst time... Nice work u bruh... Good reviewing skills

What kind of tyres do you think is best suitable for fixing that cornering issue??
I am not an expert in this. But I have seen MRFs which comes stock with these bikes are as a part of vfm. Something in Apollo, Micheline or Pirelli will work better..even said that, this motorcycle is not for knee drags. One cam enjoy the twisties. Thats all.
