  I really like this bike and I will try to purchase it as soon as possible. My parents already own this bike, and I ride it daily. My regular running is around 15–30 kilometers every day, and the bike performs very well for daily use. It is comfortable, reliable, and perfectly suitable for everyday riding.

  This bike is great for urban commuting, city rides, as well as long journeys. It is affordable and offers good value for money. The bike is especially comfortable for shorter riders, making it easy to handle and ride confidently. If the company improves the mileage further in the Hunter, it would make this bike even better.

  A perfect budget Royal Enfield with great pickup and balance. Mileage is a bit low, as expected, but it’s a great buy for an excellent riding experience. Known as the RE Hunter 350.
