The 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 has been spotted completely undisguised, just days ahead of its official launch on April 26. Snapped in what appears to be a parking lot, the updated model reveals some key visual and hardware upgrades while staying true to its original urban scrambler theme.
Design
At first glance, the overall design of the Hunter 350 looks familiar, and that’s because the basic bodywork remains unchanged. But where the 2025 model really shakes things up is in its paint schemes. The bikes caught on camera feature fresh new colour options—one finished in bold red, and another sporting a white base with vibrant green, blue, and yellow graphics. These new schemes give the bike a more youthful, lively vibe that should appeal to younger riders and city commuters.
Features
One of the most noticeable updates is the LED headlamp, which seems to have been borrowed from Royal Enfield’s 650cc lineup. This is a significant upgrade from the halogen unit on the previous model and adds a more premium, modern touch to the front end.
The test bikes also featured Royal Enfield’s Tripper Navigation system. This system, available only on the top-spec variant, offers turn-by-turn navigation and smartphone connectivity—great for those who like a bit of tech with their classic looks.
Suspension
A subtle but important change is the rear suspension setup. The 2025 Hunter 350 features a new pair of twin shock absorbers that look different from the older ones. This could be Royal Enfield’s answer to the common complaint about the previous model’s harsh rear suspension. If tuned right, this update could significantly improve ride comfort, especially on bumpy city roads.
Engine
Mechanically, things remain the same under the tank. The Hunter 350 continues to be powered by the familiar 349cc, single-cylinder engine that is now OBD-2B compliant. It churns out 20.2bhp at 6,100rpm and 27Nm of torque at 4,000rpm, paired with a five-speed gearbox. It’s a smooth, torquey motor that’s ideal for urban use, weekend rides, and everything in between.
Price
With the new features and cosmetic changes, expect the 2025 Hunter 350 to carry a slight premium over the current model. The outgoing version starts at around Rs. 1.5 lakh (ex-showroom), so a bump of a few thousand rupees wouldn’t be surprising.
All in all, Royal Enfield seems to have fine-tuned the Hunter 350 for 2025 by adding just the right amount of tech and refinement while keeping the character of the bike intact. If you’ve been thinking about buying one, this updated model might just seal the deal.
