Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Launched: Will it Launch in Nepal?

Royal Enfield Hunter 350 has officially launched in India.

After months of speculations and spy shots, the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 makes its official entry into the market. It is the third RE motorcycle to include the new J-Series engine.

However, the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is quite different.

It will be an affordable roadster packed into a fun and stylish machine.

While there will be familiar elements from the Meteor, the Hunter 350 has been designed from the ground up.

Interestingly enough, the overall pricing will be less than the outgoing Meteor and Classic.

The ex-showroom price in India starts at INRs. 1.49 Lakhs.

We will discuss its price in Nepal in a bit.

Royal Enfield Hunter 350 will be the most affordable BS6-compliant RE in Nepal as well.

With that said, let’s take a quick look at everything offered in the new Royal Enfield Hunter 350 in Nepal along with its key specifications.

As for the pricing strategy, it should sit below the Royal Enfield Classic.

Hence, the price range will be clearer as soon as Classic launches in Nepal. The plans for such a launch are being delayed due to the recent ban on luxury items.

Royal Enfield Nepal should make a move as soon as the ban is lifted.
