Royal Enfield is all set to launch the new Hunter 350 on April 26, 2025. The upgraded bike will make its debut at the brand’s upcoming HunterHood festival. It is currently the lightest bike in Royal Enfield’s portfolio. Recently, it was also spotted fully undisguised, revealing some of the new features the updated bike will offer.
2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 – What To Expect?
With the forthcoming updates, Royal Enfield is expected to address the existing shortcomings of the bike.
- To start with, the new Royal Enfield will get new twin-shock absorbers at the rear as the current rear suspensions are a bit stiff, especially on rough and bumpy surfaces.
- The spy images also confirm the presence of LED headlamps, which will not only enhance the nightime illumination but also give the bike a more premium appearance.

- Visually, the design of the bike will remain unchanged. However, the 2025 Hunter will get new paint schemes with refreshed body graphics. Two of the new colour options will include a White base colour with yellow, green, & blue graphics, and a Red base with black graphics.
- The bikemaker is also expected to retune the engine to reduce vibrations on the handlebars and foot pegs at high speeds.
- With all these changes, a slight increase in prices is also expected. Currently, Royal Enfield retails the Hunter 350 from Rs 1.50 lakh to Rs 1.75 lakh (both prices ex-showroom).

Aside from the above-mentioned changes, the Hunter 350 is expected to remain the same as the existing model. It will continue to draw power from a 349cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that produces 20.48PS of max power at 6100 rpm and 27Nm of peak torque at 4,000 rpm. It comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox.
Speaking of the dimensions, the bike has a decent ground clearance of 150mm and an easily accessible seat height of 790mm. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels at both ends. For braking, it gets front disc and rear disc/drum (depending on the variant), with single/dual-channel Antilock Braking System (ABS).
Author’s Take
The 2025 Hunter 350 is expected to get a mid-cycle refresh with a primary focus on style and comfort. But to truly elevate its segment presence, Royal Enfield may need to address the underlying issues that go beyond paint and pixels.
