Royal Enfield Hunter 350: Royal Enfield is gearing up to unveil the 2025 Hunter 350 at HunterHood, a one-day lifestyle festival on 26 April. Known for its retro-modern charm and agile street presence, the Hunter 350 is set to receive its most significant update yet.
The most notable change lies in the suspension setup. The outgoing model was often criticised for its stiff rear end, particularly due to the rebound damping. Royal Enfield has responded by upgrading the rear suspension for improved ride comfort, which should significantly enhance urban and highway performance.

Apart from mechanical tweaks, the 2025 Hunter 350 is expected to feature minor design and feature enhancements. New paint schemes are anticipated, while some of the current eight colours may be dropped due to low demand. These cosmetic updates aim to keep the bike fresh and appealing to younger riders.
While the engine is likely to remain the same—a 349cc single-cylinder air-cooled motor producing 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm—the updated Hunter will continue offering a nimble and accessible ride with dual-channel ABS and a 5-speed gearbox.
With the upgrades, a price hike of around Rs 10,000 is expected. The current range sits between Rs 1.50 lakh and Rs 1.75 lakh (ex-showroom), and the revised pricing could push the top variant closer to Rs 1.85 lakh.
Rivals of the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 include the Honda CB350RS, TVS Ronin, Jawa 42, and Yezdi Roadster. Each of these bikes offers a mix of retro styling and modern performance, making the 350cc segment one of the most competitive in India.
With this update, Royal Enfield hopes to cement the Hunter 350’s place as a stylish, urban-friendly motorcycle with enhanced comfort and fresh appeal.
