It will also get the same engine that is seen on the Meteor 350 and Classic 350 with the 349cc, single cylinder, air cooled, fuel injected engine offering 20.4 hp power and 27 Nm torque mated to a 5 speed transmission. Once launched, the RE Hunter 350cc will rival Honda CB350RS, Jawa Forty Two and soon to be launched Triumph-Bajaj motorcycle.
