Royal Enfield has rolled out the 2025 update for its popular urban roadster, the Hunter 350. This latest version includes several improvements to enhance comfort, ride quality, and overall attractiveness. Here’s a complete overview of the new features in the 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350.
Major Changes in the 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350
Upgraded Rear Suspension for Enhanced Comfort
One of the most significant updates in the 2025 Hunter 350 is the introduction of progressive rear springs, replacing the previous linear setup. This change addresses the earlier model’s stiff ride quality, offering a more comfortable experience, especially on uneven roads.
The new suspension setup is designed to absorb bumps more effectively, providing a smoother ride for both the rider and pillion.
Assist and Slipper Clutch
The 2025 Hunter 350 becomes the first in Royal Enfield’s 350cc lineup to feature an assist and slipper clutch. This addition not only reduces the effort required to operate the clutch but also prevents wheel hop during aggressive downshifting.
The result is a more relaxed and controlled riding experience, especially beneficial in stop-and-go city traffic.
Revised Seat and Handlebar for Better Ergonomics
Royal Enfield has reworked the seat with denser foam, enhancing comfort during long rides. The handlebar has also been redesigned, now slightly tapered towards the rider, improving reach and overall ergonomics. These changes collectively contribute to a more comfortable and fatigue-free riding posture.
Increased Ground Clearance
Thanks to a re-routed exhaust system, the ground clearance of the Hunter 350 has increased by 10mm, now standing at 160mm. This enhancement allows the bike to handle speed bumps and rough patches more effectively, making it more practical for Indian road conditions.
Addition of LED Headlight
The 2025 model includes an LED headlight in the Dapper and Rebel variants, replacing the previous halogen unit. This upgrade improves nighttime visibility and adds a modern touch to the bike’s aesthetics.
Minor Changes and New Features
Expanded Color Palette
Royal Enfield has introduced three new color options for the Hunter 350:
These additions bring the total number of color options to six, allowing riders to choose a shade that best suits their style.
Standard USB Type-C Charging Port
All variants of the 2025 Hunter 350 now come equipped with a USB Type-C charging port. This feature ensures that riders can conveniently charge their devices on the go, serving the requirements of today’s connected riders.
Tripper Navigation Pod
The Tripper Navigation Pod, previously exclusive to higher-end models, is now standard in the Dapper and Rebel variants. This feature provides turn-by-turn navigation, enhancing the bike’s practicality for urban commuting and long-distance travelling.

The 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is available in three variants:
- Retro: Priced at ₹1,49,900 (ex-showroom).
- Dapper: Priced at ₹1,76,750 (ex-showroom).
