2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Launched – Exciting Updates

Royal Enfield has unveiled the 2025 iteration of its popular Hunter 350 motorcycle, introducing a series of enhancements aimed at elevating comfort, style, and functionality for urban riders. Launched at the HunterHood festival in Mumbai and Delhi, the updated model is priced between ₹1,76,750 and ₹1,81,750 (ex-showroom Chennai), with the base Retro variant maintaining its previous price of ₹1,49,900.

Enhanced Comfort and Ride Quality

Addressing prior feedback regarding ride stiffness, Royal Enfield has upgraded the rear suspension system. The new setup features progressively wound springs, replacing the earlier linear springs, to better absorb road imperfections and provide a smoother ride. This modification also results in a 10mm increase in ground clearance, now at 160mm. Additionally, the seat has been reengineered with higher-density foam for improved cushioning, and the handlebar has been repositioned to offer a more ergonomic riding posture.

Modernized Features and Technology

The 2025 Hunter 350 aligns with contemporary standards by incorporating several modern features:

• LED Headlamp: Adopted from the Himalayan 450, the new LED headlight enhances visibility and adds a modern touch to the bike’s aesthetics.
• USB Type-C Charging Port: A fast-charging USB Type-C port is now standard on the Metro and Metro Rebel variants, facilitating on-the-go device charging.
• Tripper Navigation System: Integrated into the instrument cluster, this system offers turn-by-turn navigation, aiding riders in urban environments.
• Slipper Clutch: The inclusion of a slipper clutch across all variants ensures smoother gear transitions and reduces rider fatigue, especially in stop-and-go traffic.

Aesthetic Updates

To refresh its visual appeal, the Hunter 350 introduces three new color options:

• Rio White: Available in the Metro variant.
• Tokyo Black and London Red: Both featured in the Metro Rebel variant.

These additions bring the total color palette to eight, allowing riders to choose a finish that best suits their style.

Technical Specifications

The motorcycle continues to be powered by the reliable 349cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, delivering 20.2 horsepower and 27Nm of torque. This engine is paired with a 5-speed gearbox and now benefits from the newly added slipper clutch. The Hunter 350 maintains its kerb weight at 181kg and features a 13-liter fuel tank. Braking is managed by a 300mm front disc and a 270mm rear disc, with dual-channel ABS standard on the Metro and Metro Rebel variants, while the Retro variant comes with single-channel ABS.
