From a new LED headlight to some mechanical changes as well, here’s everything you need to know
Royal Enfield will be launching the 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 at HunterHood festival on April 26, 2025, which is tomorrow. The festival will take place in Mumbai and Delhi, and will be a celebration of motorcycling as a lifestyle, particularly with the theme of the Hunter.
The updated bike will get some much-needed changes, and here’s everything you need to know:
New Colours
Recently, some images of the updated bike were leaked, and it has given us a decent idea of what we can expect. The first of the changes is the two new colour schemes: white and red.
Only the tank colours are different, whereas the powertrain, underpinnings, side panels and front and rear mud guards are all finished in black. They also come with matching rim stickers on black wheels.
New LED Headlight
Another highlight which we spotted on the 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is the addition of an LED headlight.
The addition of an LED headlight unit will go a long way in making the Hunter look and feel more like a neo-retro bike.
New Suspension
Another interesting detail which we were able to spot from the images was the addition of new rear shock absorbers. The ones on the current generation Royal Enfield Hunter 350 offers a slightly stiff ride quality which many riders didn’t really like.
Now, with the addition of new shocks, we expect Royal Enfield to have fixed this issue, with a slightly more comfortable ride quality than before. This is something that’s very important for a bike which will be tackling bad patches of roads in the city on a regular basis.
Expected Price?
The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is currently the most affordable bike in the manufacturer’s lineup. It starts at a price of Rs 1,49,990 for the base Retro variant and goes all the way up to Rs 1,79,990 for the top-of-the-line Metro Rebel variant.
All prices are ex-showroom Chennai rates. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the prices by variant:
|

With the updates, we are expecting the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 to see a price hike of around Rs 5,000, and this will likely be slotted under the Dapper or Rebel variant.
What Will Remain The Same?
Other than the above-mentioned updates, the bike is expected to remain the same. It will be powered by the same 349cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine, which will output 20.48PS and 27Nm. The engine is refined and is torquey enough for everyday commutes.
