About the bike
Hunter 350 has a dual-tone matte finish and talking to the media Sid Lal said that the bike will get the J-series engine but it will be an all-new motorcycle.

The bike will be powered by the same engine as the Meteor 350 and also the upcoming Bullet 350. The 349cc J-series engine makes 20.2 hp and 27 Nm of torque.
Launch and expected price
The starting price expected for the bike can be somewhere near Rs 1.7 lakh (ex-showroom). Hunter 350 will be launched on August 7. It will compete in the market alongside the likes of Honda CB 350 RS and TVS Ronin.
