Mean Green Customs has transformed the Hunter 350 into a sinister-looking custom with chunky tyres, minimalist bodywork and a subtle Batman-inspired theme
The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is already one of the more compact and youthful motorcycles in the company’s range, but Mean Green Customs has given it a very different personality with this custom build called BatMod. As the name suggests, there is a subtle Batman influence here, but the builder hasn’t gone down the predictable route of covering the motorcycle in comic-book graphics. Instead, the theme has been worked into the design in a much more understated way.
The first thing that catches your eye is the matte-black finish. Almost everything has been blacked out, including the engine, frame, wheels, suspension and most of the hardware. The only real visual highlight is the small bat-shaped emblem on the fuel tank, which gives away the inspiration for the build without screaming it from across the street. It is a neat little detail and probably the right amount of Batman for a motorcycle that wants to remain classy.
The Hunter’s original roadster proportions have also been given a slightly more rugged flavour. The motorcycle now rides on chunky block-pattern tyres, which give it a much more substantial stance. The front gets a short custom mudguard, while the rear gets a similarly compact unit that follows the line of the custom seat. The combination of fat rubber and shortened bodywork makes the Hunter look considerably more purposeful than the standard motorcycle.
The seat is another major change. The factory seat is gone and has been replaced by a single-piece custom saddle with a slim, upholstered design. It sits neatly over the shortened-looking rear section and works particularly well with the low, minimalist tail. The side panels also carry the custom ’07’ graphic, adding another small visual signature to the otherwise monochrome motorcycle.
Up front, Mean Green has retained the basic round-headlamp character of the Hunter but has given the assembly a much more stripped-back appearance. The handlebar is wide and relatively flat, while the suspension gets a more rugged visual treatment with fork gaiters. The black alloy wheels and chunky tyres complete what feels like a street tracker meets scrambler interpretation of the Hunter rather than a conventional cafe racer or bobber.
Mechanically, the foundation remains the Hunter 350’s 349 cc single-cylinder J-series engine, which produces 20.2 PS and 27 Nm in the standard motorcycle. That makes the BatMod more about visual transformation and attitude than chasing outright performance. Mean Green Customs itself is a Mumbai-based motorcycle design studio established in 2013, with the company specialising in bespoke builds, in-house fabrication, metal shaping and custom paintwork.
