Royal Enfield launched the Hunter as a steppingstone for new riders to join the RE brand. The Hunter quickly gained success, but did have its flaws. Now, the motorcycle maker has been seen testing the updated version of the Royal Enfield Hunter in India, hinting at updates that were much needed.Â
2025 Royal Enfield Hunter — Updates to expectÂ
The rear suspension of the Royal Enfield Hunter was always under the scanner and with the facelift, Royal Enfield has seemed to address this issue because the motorcycle is seen with updated rear shocks. Has this changed the ride quality is something that we need see once the motorcycle is launched.
The next update seen in the Hunter is the headlight — an LED unit. This seems similar to the unit seen in the other models, which replaces the halogen headlight the Hunter currently gets. This should offer better lighting, but RE headlights have been under the radar for not being adequate enough.
Apart from these two updates, the Hunter will retain the same engine, the 349cc J-Series single-cylinder air-cooled engine that makes 20.2bhp and 27Nm of peak torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The Hunter will continue to compete with the Honda CB series of motorcycles, Triumph Speed T4, and the Hero Mavrick amongst others in the segment.
