Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Special EditionsAt 2023 EICMA Show, there were two Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Special Editions displayed, where one of them had a handsome bikini fairingIndia’s de facto classic motorcycle manufacturer, Royal Enfield, has quite an extensive 350cc motorcycle range. Even though they are all very similar, Royal Enfield has successfully carved out distinct differences that define their character. Hunter 350 is by far the sportiest of all the 350s. At 2023 EICMA Show, Hunter 350 got even sportier with new Special Colour Editions.Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Special EditionsHunter 350 is one of the best selling 350cc motorcycles in India, after Classic 350. The motorcycle has quite an appeal, being the lightest and the most affordable Royal Enfield on sale. It has a scrambler-esque appeal and is quite sporty in its design. It primarily rivals TVS Ronin in India.Taking this formula and exponentially increase the appeal, we get vastly different visual machines. At 2023 EICMA Show, there were two Special Editions of Hunter 350 showcased and one of them had a cool fairing and a whole Cafe- Racer appearance that currently Royal Enfield is lacking in 350cc space.Main highlights of this machine are its fairing and attractive colour scheme. Starting with fairing, it is a semi fairing that extends slightly below its fuel tank. This build gets lower clip-on handlebars that will necessitate quite a lean. Front fairing extends over the instrument console, and provides decent wind protection. Seat and rear subframe are completely new and scream Cafe Racer.Hunter 350 Special Edition With FairingInstrument cluster is now centrally mounted, unlike before. For the top half of the motorcycle, there is an interesting White and Pink colourway and for lower half, there is a dark Grey and Neon Yellow. Wheels get aero covers and there is an aftermarket free-flowing full system exhaust along with slick tyres for maximum track performance.King Nerd 350The second Special Edition of Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is called King Nerd 350. This build doesn’t go on a componentry-replacing rampage. So, most of the components are identical to stock motorcycles. That said, this edition is more of an artistic and stylistic enhancement that displays individual personality. For starters, there is a Grey base coat a flashy Orange for contrast.Contrast, it does. Fuel tank has artistic expressions in the form of patterns, also seen on custom rear subframe and rear cowl. Seat gets Orange horizontal stripes and below seat, there is a leather add-on with Orange contrast that should hold a water bottle perfectly. Handy while on the go. With King Nerd 350, tyres have been upsized too.Royal Enfield King Nerd 350Wheels get aero covers along with a headlights cowl that reminds me of Royal Enfield’s own Scram 411. This cowl has a contrast Orange bezel that looks very youthful. The same King Nerd 350 is also displayed in another colourway, where Orange is replaced with Neon Yellow. More

There will be numerous variations of this platform. First of which, is Himalayan 452, which made its debut recently. Production has already commenced at their facility as well. In this post, we will cover top 10 things about the most anticipated motorcycle launch from Royal Enfield.Royal Enfield Sherpa 450 Engine1. First ever liquid-cooled Royal EnfieldStarting with its Sherpa 450 engine, this is the first time Royal Enfield has incorporated a liquid-cooled setup in one of its motorcycles. This 452cc single-cylinder engine has a DOHC setup and it generates a healthy 40 bhp of peak power and 40 Nm peak torque. Royal Enfield has ensured that the torque spread is much wider than Himalayan 411.Royal Enfield Sherpa 450 Engine Torque2. First ever single-cylinder Royal Enfield with 6-speed gearboxFor the first time, Royal Enfield is offering a 6-speed gearbox with its single-cylinder lineup. This setup ensures better-optimised gearing along with a 6th gear that will significantly boost Himalayan 452’s high-speed touring capabilities. More number of gears brings better optimisation potential for the final drive.Himalayan 452 USD front forks3. First ever single-cylinder Royal Enfield to get USD front forksAfter Super Meteor 650, Himalayan 452 is the second Royal Enfield and first single-cylinder Royal Enfield to get USD front forks. These Showa forks will ensure better handling characteristics and bring a certain level of structural rigidity to the whole package. Just like Himalayan 411, the newer model also gets an adjustable mono-shock rear suspension setup.New circular TFT screen4. First ever Royal Enfield to get company’s new TFT instrumentationOne of the primary highlights of Himalayan 452 has to be its new circular TFT instrument screen. This screen is significantly larger than RE’s tripper display. Not just larger, this new unit is significantly more advanced as well.

Switchgear gets additional buttons to control this system.Tail lights integrated into rear indicator housingHimalayan 452 LED headlights5. All-LED lightingHimalayan 452 is the first RE to get LED tail lights integrated into its rear turn indicator housings. The actual turn indicators are LED too and so are its headlights. The headlight unit looks similar to the one found on Super Meteor 650. We hope the company offers auxiliary light accessory options, considering it is an adventure tourer.Himalayan 452 on snow6. Off-road worthy hardwareThe name Himalayan signifies the bike’s off-road lineage ever since this nameplate debuted with Himalayan 411. With Himalayan 452, RE has offered 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wire-spoke wheels, knobby dual-purpose tubed tyres from CEAT, long travel suspension at front and back, switchable ABS, upswept exhaust and a large beak to protect front end on landings. Off-road pegs, upright posture, and ergonomics supporting standing and riding are notable too.Himalayan 452 accessories7. Cross-country touring hardwareSince Himalayan 452 is an adventurer tourer, it has quite some hardware to prove its touring credentials. The tall windscreen, upright handlebar, comfy seating posture, and tilted instrument screen ensure fatigue-free riding only limited by the biological capabilities of rider. Provision for luggage is in abundance, front and rear frame will accommodate saddle bags and jerry cans and there is a built-in luggage rack as well. Fuel tank should carry around 20L of petrol, for a better tank range.Himalayan 452 new robust chassis8. All-new chassisAs revealed by Royal Enfield, Himalayan 452 is an all-new motorcycle including its frame. The company said not even a single bolt was taken from the old bike. This gave Royal Enfield a clean slate on reflecting past experience and perfecting their version of single-cylinder adventure tourer formula. Most of the components including the switchgear are new as well.Royal Enfield Himalayan 4529. Key rivals from other brandsWhen Himalayan 411 was launched, it primarily rivalled Hero Xpulse 200 in off-road and BMW G 310 GS and KTM 390 Adventure in touring scenarios. The new model gets fiercer competition in the form of Triumph Scrambler 400X along with upcoming motorcycles like Hero’s Xpulse 440 and KTM 390 Adventure and 390 Enduro that will feature the newer 399cc engine.Himalayan 452 Black and Gold10. Colours and expected priceRoyal Enfield has shown Himalayan 452 in five different colours as of now. These include White with decals, Off-white, Nardo Grey with Blue stripes, Nardo Grey with Red stripes and Black with Gold highlights. The pricing is under wraps, but a ballpark of around Rs. 2.5 lakh to Rs. 2.7 lakh seems to be logical for a motorcycle of this calibre. More
