The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 motorcycle returns for 2025 with minor changes while still being the easiest and most agile motorcycle to ride in RE’s collection. For the urban rider seeking the retro motorcycle feel, the 2025 version adds updates while retaining the overall charm.
Retro Cool, Refreshed Style
The Hunter 350’s roadster style maintains its minimalist design but adds metallic and matte colour schemes for the new 2025 version, including “Coastal Blue” and “Charcoal Black.” The teardrop tank and compact tail features remain, allowing for a streamlined cleanliness to the bike. The new and updated low profile chrome accents and tank graphics give the bike a unique and custom look. The bike frame still sits generously light at 181 kg, and the 790 mm seat height allows for easy manoeuvring in dense traffic.
Smoother City Performance
Power continues to come from RE’s reliable 349cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine, but now offers smoother low-end torque. Although the power output of 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm is achieved, fuel injection mapping tweaks assist with smoother power delivery and reduced vibrations. The 5-speed gearbox also aids riding in congested areas with its crisp shifts. Riding comfortably between 90 – 100 km/h will achieve approximately 35 kmpl.
Tech Meets Tradition
Royal Enfield has incorporated Bluetooth connectivity with the Tripper Navigation pod for 2025. Through the RE app, riders can receive call notifications, take calls, see ride statistics, and receive turn-by-turn directions. An analogue speedometer with an LCD inset can now display gear position as well. Practical features like USB charging, dual-channel ABS, and many more are offered.
Enhanced Riding Comfort
Updates aim to enhance daily functionality: increasing the foam density of the seat and revising the grips of the handlebars to reduce rider fatigue. Suspension tuning is somewhat softer to allow the Hunter to handle potholes while retaining its agility. The upright riding position remains perfect for the densely populated areas of the world.
Competitive Pricing
Starting from ₹1.75 lakh (ex-showroom), the Hunter 350 outperforms competitors like the Jawa 42 and Honda CB350 while maintaining Royal Enfield’s strong brand reputation. This model is excellent for younger riders and urban commuters seeking to enter RE ownership.
The Verdict:
The 2025 Hunter 350 focuses on its masterful integration of technology while paying attention to timeless motorcycle design. It delivers on seams and provides a smooth riding experience. Those looking for a Hunter 350 continue to receive superb fuel efficiency and character value.
