I want the more toned down looks of the Retro in a dual channel ABS alloy wheel version ! Why won't RE sell something like that :-( . With my extremely limited use, spending a whopping 50k+ more on the classic is getting increasingly difficult to justify.
@@sravan6492 i'm on board with that, what I'd like to see is bikemakers offering rim conversion kits in accessories. The option isn't available and that feels limiting, no?
The comments section have spoken. Team Zigwheels, give this man a raise. 😀 Also, I sat on the Hunter, Ronin, Bullet, Classic and Continental GT. I have to say, Hunter feels so tiny. Even the Ronin feels substantial in comparison. My feeling is that Hunter is better suited for female riders and men who would prefer short and light version of Bullet or Classic. Even the name Hunter kind of compliments the name Bullet. Mind you, I haven't taken a test ride, so my judgement is subject to revision. 😊
@@sravan6492 While 180kg might sound too much, fact is the vehicle feels really light and easy to handle. Also I have seen many women riding Bullet, so I believe the Hunter might be a blessing for them.
@@sravan6492 you're right, 180kgs is not light. But the Hunter is not just small, it's also very compact from the sides. So moving the bike in your parking or crawling through traffic feels very manageable. You should go check it out, might just surprise you.
Get the Metro, paint the tank silver or black or yellow or some other mono colour, get tubeless ready spoke rims (lot of people make tubeless conversions) and swap the clutch lever for the one on the Retro. You have the ultimate Hunter 350.
Retro all the way......Indian road conditions were shit so spoke wheel might fit well for most of them unless u guys ride in the highway most of the time...... Imagine if you ran into a pot hole with a alloy wheel at high speed
Yes i also believe the ex showroom for retro should be 1.39 as it misses out on so many features and with the tag of 1.49 ex showroom the retro is a bit overpriced and not a value for money motorcycle
Wire spokes rims without main stand is not a good deal. Retro should be offered with center stand right from the factory. The alloy equipped tubeless setup of metro is good enough to skip the main stand.
I spoke with a royal enfield rep recently, and they said both the the spoked and alloy rimmed version of the classic use tubeless tires. So that was incorrect? Pardon my tire ignorance.
I'm sure you can. Most manufacturers are now selling main stands under accessories but always make provisions for one to be fitted. Check kar ley with your local dealership.
@@den0 generally, I am not a hasty rider. So that won't be a big issue. The only thing that is in my mind is that the average touring speed of any RE is 70-90.. which my Access can also do.. so I don't understand how, I can justify getting something worth 2lakhs and having very very little upgrade to show for it..
@@thecrazysharma Unless you ride an RE in traffic, you have no idea how much more difficult it is compared to an Access even to just crawl along. And as for touring, 90 on a motorcycle feels way better than 90 on a scooter. If you're thinking about value for money in this segment, then maybe look at the 150 to 200cc from Bajaj / TVS / Honda? Those will be way more manageable in traffic and definitely be an upgrade from the Access in touring.
@@den0 I totally agree with you. But I really don't want to buy a motorcycle if that is not an RE. So I have put myself in a tough spot where I want value for money. But only in an RE motorcycle. I know sounds crazy.
I mean, why not? If you put your mind to it, sure you can. But it's a lot of work man, not much of which the company's warranty will cover. So between parts and labor charges, you'd rather just pay for the nid segment. Rather get one of those tail tidy kits RE sells and turn this into scrambler 😬
I have never seen this guy before but he is a great addition to the ZW team. Get ready to receive a lot of love brother!
lots of love back!
@@ishanlee9371how to contact you. Email plz
The host is amazing🔥🔥🔥
Thanks man 😁
Totally agree. His english is really good too.
I thought that both bikes are only different in a cosmetic sense but now I understand that they are very different.
The host knocks it out of the park. Brilliant and energetic comparison video.
Thanks man!
Love the host. Loved listning to him. Thanks for the informative and fun video man 👍🏻👌🏻
Ey cheers bro!
I want the more toned down looks of the Retro in a dual channel ABS alloy wheel version ! Why won't RE sell something like that :-( . With my extremely limited use, spending a whopping 50k+ more on the classic is getting increasingly difficult to justify.
I wish both the variants had selection of alloy wheels or spoke wheels as an add on accessory.
Absolutely! Why is retrofit wheels not a thing yet???
@@ishanlee9371 it requires different calipers for spokes wheels and alloy wheels
If the retro had rear disc option, it'd be an amazing option. The metro doesn't look as good

I don't think female riders can handle 180 kgs of weight especially in traffic.. if they are experienced riders then won't be a problem though

@@ishanlee9371 Yeah i ordered Dapper white on August 22.. btw bro you are everywhere 😂

Cannot paint without RTO paperwork hassles. If you want to do it illegally that's a different conversation
Retro all the way......Indian road conditions were shit so spoke wheel might fit well for most of them unless u guys ride in the highway most of the time...... Imagine if you ran into a pot hole with a alloy wheel at high speed
Haha was thinking the same, with maybe a change with an 18 or 19 inch tyre for the front
Host is Phenomenal
Retro requires price correction 1.39L
Metro requires more color combos
Dapper O Dapper.
Thanks yo!

That means Retro is my type because my area roads are made by God himself to help us to reach the god easily while riding
True...lol.....Also for a fun ride in desert and mountains, it must be retro.....Can't always ride in highway🙃
Great video and host. He's like a combination of kartikey and shumi.
Kartikeya Marmar??? Damn... that's some super saiyan stuff bro!
@@ishanlee9371 deserve it brother
hey....can we use the spoke weels with the wider tyres. is that possible m
yes
Yeah man, absolutely.
Wire spokes rims without main stand is not a good deal. Retro should be offered with center stand right from the factory. The alloy equipped tubeless setup of metro is good enough to skip the main stand.
Retro Gray...
🤩
More confortable whits this types and more light...
So u have a Shumi replacement now.
Why can't we just get the alloy wheels from metro and attach it to the retro?
Do they provide bybre disc setup on dapper series? There is no branding of bybre on the calipers.
Then bro what we should buy ? Pls suggest
Lovely review Ishan Lee. 🌹
gracias, mi amor
As both have different tyres, then they should have different fuel efficiency as well ?
yes, the metro has less fuel economy
No confusion at all, metro is the one I'll choose even without watching any video
I spoke with a royal enfield rep recently, and they said both the the spoked and alloy rimmed version of the classic use tubeless tires. So that was incorrect? Pardon my tire ignorance.
Is this host mimicking Kartikeya Singhee or is he a direct/indirect relative to him
He took coaching.
@@GauravChandrashekar hahahaha
Na... it was a 90 day free tutorial actually
Can't we change retro wheels to alloy wheels?
Is it good for beginners?
I hope RE will export the Retro to Europe.
RE is really good at marketing😂 purposefully they will keep some crappy models to make the other models look good😂😂
Retro is not actually crappy....Those features doesn't make a huge difference if u are a newbie rider.....If u are a hardcore rider, it must be metro
Does the retro have smaller disc brakes in the front or are they the same with the metro?
same brakes in the front but drum brakes in the rear
@@Boonisded thank you!!
Very good editing of the video
Please help with more content on hunter, comparisons with other re 350s and jawa/yezdi or other similar segment bikes
Did Katikeya did the dubbing for this video 🤔
Just booked Dapper Ash ❤️
Bro can we attached main stand to retro bike? Because retro didn't have main stand.
I'm sure you can. Most manufacturers are now selling main stands under accessories but always make provisions for one to be fitted. Check kar ley with your local dealership.
Retro Tube or Tubeless??
We need a 2022 160cc bike shootout video very soon!
I want Hunter Metro in Retro colour. I hate dual tone colour. I want plain colours.
Go for dapper series
Does hunter have slipper clutch, does if feel heavy or light in heavy traffic.
No slipper clutch
The clutch is heavy.
If hunter had 250cc engine with slipper clutch it would have been easy for new riders(new for Royal Enfield) in heavy city traffic.
@@sameerdeshpande6360 this is actually easy in traffic. I'm not totally new to riding but I don't have enough experience in traffic..
I am the IT guy, but I would go for retro!
Stylish, yet practical. :)
I too prefer the Retro
yess!! my only concern is the skimmer tyres but the rest i like retro better
Hey zigwheels i want to ask the brake shoe life on retro how good is the braking on retro with that drum set up do that brakes make sound when wet
Awesome presentation
I ride a suzuki access. I really think any RE will be a huge upgrade. Apart from the Fuel Efficiency. 😂
If you're riding through a lot of traffic, this may actually feel like a downgrade

@@thecrazysharma You should probably test ride the Hunter, Meteor, Standard & maybe even the Interceptor.... Even if you don't plan to buy :)
Is there difference other than colours in dapper and rebel series.?
I guess bybre calipers in rebel
Caan I replace its tyre with 100/90 17 tyre?
on which variant?
Got the metro rebel red, worth the extra amount
U pick up retro because it looks like little intrceptor
Why do I hear Karthikeya but can't see him
Rear disc brake in retro is a big miss.
Ye ladka badiya hai. Sahi boolta hai.
Koshish jaari hai, aap ki dua hai!
@@ishanlee9371 could you help me out a bit? Which of these cars has the best ride quality?
New Alto K10
New S presso
Celerio
Ignis
can we add alloys to the retro varient 😅..

@@ishanlee9371 i'd better get the top varient for avoiding such heck of a work 😬👍..
The brakes on the Retro are NOT shoddy! 🤦
The retro model looks really poor & small
I think colours of dapper are better
Bhai Jawa 42 / meteor fireball 350 ya fir hunter metro rebel konsa lu??

Give this host a cookie 🍪
Thanks for the cookie 😬
This is what I wanted
Retro looks prettier
Kitna deti hai
