A Fresh Take on a City Favorite
Royal Enfield has launched the 2025 Hunter 350 in India, bringing exciting updates to its most affordable bike. Priced between ₹1.50 lakh and ₹1.82 lakh (ex-showroom, Chennai), this neo-retro roadster was unveiled on April 26, 2025, during the HunterHood festival in Mumbai and Delhi. Perfect for daily commuters, the Hunter 350 now offers better comfort, new colors, and modern features, making it a top pick for young riders. With over 5 lakh units sold since 2022, this bike is a hit for its style and easy handling. Bookings are open, and deliveries started in May 2025.
Sleek Design with New Colors
The 2025 Hunter 350 keeps its compact, retro look but adds a premium touch. It features a round LED headlamp (on Dapper and Rebel variants), a teardrop fuel tank, and a short rear fender for a sporty vibe. Three new colors—Rio White, Tokyo Black, and London Red—give it a fresh, youthful appeal, inspired by urban culture. The bike’s 1370 mm wheelbase and 160 mm ground clearance (up by 10 mm) make it perfect for zipping through city streets or tackling speed breakers. Its lightweight 181 kg build ensures easy handling for new riders.
Upgraded Features for Easy Rides
Royal Enfield has loaded the 2025 Hunter 350 with smart upgrades. The Dapper and Rebel variants get a Tripper navigation pod for turn-by-turn directions, ideal for city commuting. A Type-C USB fast-charging port keeps your phone powered on the go. The semi-digital console shows speed, fuel, and gear position, though the text can be small to read. A new handlebar and denser seat foam improve comfort for long rides. The slip-and-assist clutch, a first for Royal Enfield’s 350cc bikes, makes gear shifts smoother and less tiring in traffic.
Smooth Engine and Better Suspension
The Hunter 350 sticks with its trusted 349cc, air-cooled J-series engine, producing 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. It offers a mileage of 36-40 kmpl, great for daily commutes, with a 13-liter fuel tank giving a range of 400-450 km. The big upgrade is the rear suspension, now with progressive springs for a comfier ride on bumpy roads. The slip-and-assist clutch reduces effort in city traffic. With a top speed of around 114 kmph, it’s perfect for city and short highway rides.

Why It’s Perfect for Commuters
The 2025 Hunter 350 is built for city riders with its agile handling and low 790 mm seat height, suiting both new and tall riders. The dual-channel ABS and disc brakes (on Metro variants) ensure safe stops. However, the base Retro variant has a rear drum brake and spoke wheels, which may need more maintenance. The bike’s torquey engine and short gear ratios make it easy to ride in traffic or hilly areas. Royal Enfield’s wide service network and accessories like luggage and seats add to its appeal for daily use.
Final Thoughts
The 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is a stylish, practical choice for city commuters. Its updated suspension, LED headlamp, and slip-and-assist clutch fix past issues, making rides smoother and more fun. While it lacks features like ride modes, its affordable price, cool looks, and 400+ km range make it a strong rival to the TVS Ronin and Jawa Forty Two. For young riders or those wanting a reliable, retro bike, the Hunter 350 is a great buy. Visit a Royal Enfield showroom or book online to experience this urban roadster
