The first Red Hunter appeared in 1932, coded VH32. It featured a tuned four-overhead-valve 498cc vertical cylinder VG. The red tank panels on a chrome gas tank with red wheel rim centers made it a sporting & beautiful sports bike. The last Red Hunter was produced in 1959 after 27 years of success.
After World War II, the Red Hunter became Ariel's best-selling bike. It won more competitive events in trials as well as scrambles and road racing. |
