Royal Enfield has refreshed its popular Hunter 350 lineup for 2025, introducing not just cosmetic enhancements but also important mechanical updates. Starting at Rs. 1.50 lakh (ex-showroom), the 2025 Hunter 350 aims to offer an even more stylish, comfortable, and feature-rich riding experience for Indian enthusiasts.
One of the major highlights of the update is the addition of three vibrant new colour schemes, expanding the total available palette to six across its different variants. Here’s a deep dive into everything that’s new on the updated Hunter 350!
Variants and New Colour Options
The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 continues to be offered in three variants – Retro, Dapper, and Rebel.
- Retro Variant:
The base Retro variant remains available in the classic Factory Black colourway. - Dapper Variant:
A fresh Rio White paint scheme joins the Dapper lineup, adding to the existing Dapper Grey carried over from the previous version. - Rebel Variant:
The Rebel trim gets two bold new shades: Tokyo Black and London Red. The much-loved Rebel Blue continues to be part of the Rebel range.
These new colour options give the Hunter 350 a rejuvenated, youthful vibe, helping it stay trendy amidst increasing competition in the 350cc segment.
Cosmetic and Feature Updates
The 2025 Hunter 350 doesn’t just get new colours—it comes with several noteworthy upgrades in terms of equipment and features:
- LED Headlamp:
For the first time, the Dapper and Rebel variants now feature a stylish LED headlamp, improving both looks and night-time visibility. - Tripper Navigation Pod:
Another major addition is the Tripper navigation system, which provides turn-by-turn navigation right on the bike’s console (available on Dapper and Rebel variants). - USB Type-C Charging Port:
Catering to modern-day needs, Royal Enfield has added a USB Type-C charging port for charging smartphones and accessories on the go.
These updates bring the Hunter 350 closer to what today’s urban riders expect in terms of technology and functionality.
Mechanical Enhancements
Beyond cosmetics, Royal Enfield has worked to make the Hunter 350 more rider-friendly through several mechanical tweaks:
- Assist and Slipper Clutch:
The updated model now features an assist and slipper clutch. This not only reduces clutch lever effort, making city commutes easier, but also prevents wheel lock-up during aggressive downshifts, improving safety. - Revised Suspension Setup:
The bike benefits from a new suspension arrangement featuring linear progressive rear springs, which offer a more balanced ride — plush enough for daily use, yet firm enough for spirited rides. - New Handlebar Profile:
A subtle but impactful change is the revised handlebar design, engineered to offer better ergonomics and a more natural riding posture. - Improved Seat Comfort:
Denser seat foam has been introduced, offering enhanced comfort over longer rides. - Higher Ground Clearance:
Thanks to a rerouted exhaust system, the ground clearance now stands at 160mm, an improvement over the earlier model. This makes the bike more practical for tackling rough patches and speed breakers.
Engine and Performance
At the core, the 2025 Hunter 350 remains mechanically familiar, retaining the proven 349cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine.
- Power Output: 20.2 bhp
- Peak Torque: 27 Nm
- Gearbox: 5-speed transmission
The Hunter 350’s engine is known for its smooth, torquey character, ideal for urban rides and relaxed highway cruising. The addition of an assist and slipper clutch makes the gearbox even smoother to operate, especially in city traffic.
Pricing Details
Royal Enfield has kept the pricing structure competitive for 2025, though there’s a slight hike for the higher variants:
- Retro Variant: Rs. 1.50 lakh (no change)
- Dapper Variant: Rs. 1.77 lakh (Rs. 7,000 increase)
- Rebel Variant: Rs. 1.82 lakh (Rs. 7,000 increase)
(All prices are ex-showroom.)
Despite the price bump, the added features and improved ergonomics justify the premium, making the Hunter 350 an even more value-packed offering for riders who crave style, performance, and everyday usability.
