Royal Enfield has rolled out the updated 2025 version of the Hunter 350 in India, bringing with it a host of practical upgrades. Many of these tweaks are based on customer feedback and aim to address some of the issues riders had with the previous model. While the core design and engine remain unchanged, the updates enhance ride comfort, usability, and styling—making this urban roadster more well-rounded than ever.
Here’s everything that’s new on the refreshed Hunter 350.
Rear Suspension
One of the most notable and welcome changes comes in the form of a new rear suspension setup. The Hunter 350 now gets progressive springs instead of the older linear-type springs.
This change is aimed at improving ride quality, especially over uneven roads. The earlier setup was often criticized for being too stiff, causing discomfort on bumpy terrain. The new progressive springs should absorb shocks better and offer a more composed ride, especially when riding with a pillion or over longer distances.
Revised Seat and Handlebar
Royal Enfield has also made updates to the seat, which now features revised foam density for improved cushioning and support. The seat’s shape has been tweaked to provide better comfort during longer rides.
Alongside the seat change, the handlebar has been redesigned. It’s now slightly tapered towards the rider, making it easier to reach and enhancing overall ergonomics. This subtle change is expected to improve manoeuvrability and make the riding position more natural, especially in traffic.
New Colours
Aimed at attracting younger buyers, the 2025 Hunter 350 is now available in three new colour options:
- Rio White
- Tokyo Black
- London Red
These bold new paint schemes give the bike a more youthful, vibrant appeal, helping it stand out on the road.
Increased Ground Clearance
To improve the bike’s practicality on Indian roads, Royal Enfield has adjusted the exhaust routing. This change has resulted in an additional 10mm of ground clearance.
The added clearance should help when tackling larger speed bumps and potholes, which is especially helpful in urban and semi-urban environments.
Assist and Slipper Clutch
The Hunter 350 is powered by the same 349.34cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine as before. It continues to make 20.2bhp at 6,100rpm and 27Nm of torque at 4,000rpm, paired with a five-speed gearbox.
However, the big news is the addition of an assist and slipper clutch. This upgrade will reduce clutch lever effort, making the bike easier to ride in stop-and-go traffic. It also prevents wheel hop or rear wheel lock when downshifting aggressively—especially useful for newer riders or spirited downshifting on twisty roads.
LED Headlight
Modern touches on the updated Hunter 350 include a new LED headlight, replacing the older halogen unit. This not only enhances visibility but also gives the front end a fresher look.
The top variant now comes equipped with Royal Enfield’s Tripper navigation system. It works via a smartphone app to provide turn-by-turn navigation through a dedicated pod mounted on the handlebar.
With these thoughtful updates, the 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 becomes a more comfortable, practical, and stylish motorcycle. From a better ride to added tech and safety, Royal Enfield has fine-tuned the Hunter without changing its core character. Whether you’re a city commuter or a weekend rider, the new updates make the Hunter an even more compelling choice.
