Royal Enfield Hunter 350 may power sales, brand claims ‘unprecedented response’
Royal Enfield is confident that its strong prospects in the Indian bike market would be further bolstered by the newly-launched Hunter 350 motorcycle. Royal Enfield points to what it claims has been an ‘unprecedented demand’ for the Hunter 350 since it was launched last month as a firm indication of this trend.
Royal Enfield sold a little over 70,000 motorcycles in all of August, a respectable jump from around 49,000 units sold in the same month of 2021. The 53 per cent jump in sales could also be because of the relatively new models based on the J platform like Classic Reborn and Meteor 350. While the company has eight models for customers in India - Scram 411, Himalayan, Continental GT 650, Interceptor 650 and the Bullet, much of the attention now is being grabbed by Hunter 350. “We launched the Hunter 350 early this month, and the motorcycle has received an unprecedented response since then," said B Govindarajan, CEO, of Royal Enfield. “We are seeing incremental volumes with this launch, and the initial bookings for the new motorcycle have been very promising."
