For shorter durations, the Royal Enfield Meteor‘s feet-forward and generally more laid-back riding position will feel more comfortable. However, when you start spending more time in the saddle and over big bumps, your spine will bear the brunt of the jolt. It is because your arms and legs are outstretched.
In comparison, the Royal Enfield Hunter‘s more neutral and upright riding position will be a better fit overall in all sorts of situations you will find yourself in.
Coming to pillion comfort, that’s where the Meteor will have the upper hand because of its spacious split pillion seat. Although, the Hunter isn’t too bad, especially if you and your pillion aren’t very large people.
Take a proper test ride and pay attention to how both bikes behave over bad patches of road to determine which is the better option for you.
