2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350: A Walkaround of New Changes
Spy shots and reports reveal exciting updates for the 2025 Hunter 350, addressing rider feedback while keeping its core charm intact. Here’s what’s new:
1. LED Headlight for Modern Appeal
The biggest visual upgrade is the switch to an LED headlight, replacing the halogen unit. This round LED, similar to those on the Himalayan 450, offers brighter illumination for safer night rides. It also adds a premium touch to the Hunter’s retro look, making it stand out in the 350cc segment.
2. Softer Rear Suspension
The current Hunter’s stiff rear suspension has been a pain point for riders on bumpy roads. The 2025 model introduces updated twin shock absorbers with a progressive spring setup (13/14 coils vs. the current 10). This promises a smoother, more comfortable ride, perfect for city commutes and long journeys.
3. Fresh Color Options
Royal Enfield is known for vibrant paint schemes, and the 2025 Hunter 350 brings two new colors: a bold red and a clean white, likely for the Dapper or Rebel variants. While the colors pop, some spy shots suggest the graphics could use refinement, with the red scheme looking a bit patchy. Still, these options will let riders flaunt their style.
4. Potential New Features
While the core bike remains the same, there’s buzz about modern additions:
- USB Type-C Charging Port: Ideal for keeping devices powered on the go.
- TFT Instrument Console: A top-spec variant might get a Himalayan-style TFT display with navigation, though this could be limited to premium trims.
- Tweaked Suspension Tuning: Beyond comfort, the new shocks may improve handling.
5. Same Reliable Engine
The 2025 Hunter 350 sticks with its 349cc, air-cooled, J-series engine, producing 20.2 bhp at 6,100 rpm and 27 Nm at 4,000 rpm, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. At 181 kg, it’s still the most agile 350cc Royal Enfield, perfect for zipping through traffic or cruising highways.
6. Price and Availability
Priced between Rs 1.50 lakh and Rs 1.75 lakh (ex-showroom) currently, the 2025 model may see a Rs 3,000–5,000 price hike due to the upgrades. It’ll compete with the Honda CB350RS, TVS Ronin, and Jawa 42. The HunterHood festival will reveal final pricing and variant details.
Why the 2025 Hunter 350 Is a Big Deal
The Hunter 350 has sold over 5 lakh units globally since launch, with an 18% sales growth in India (January 2025 vs. 2024). Its lightweight frame, 17-inch wheels, and youthful vibe make it a hit among new riders. The 2025 updates—better suspension, LED headlight, and modern features—fix key issues and keep it competitive. For Royal Enfield, this is about cementing the Hunter as the go-to bike for urban adventurers.
