The next update seen in the Hunter is the headlight — an LED unit. This seems similar to the unit seen in the other models, which replaces the halogen headlight the Hunter currently gets. This should offer better lighting, but RE headlights have been under the radar for not being adequate enough.
Apart from these two updates, the Hunter will retain the same engine, the 349cc J-Series single-cylinder air-cooled engine that makes 20.2bhp and 27Nm of peak torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The Hunter will continue to compete with the Honda CB series of motorcycles, Triumph Speed T4, and the Hero Mavrick amongst others in the segment.
