Royal Enfield Hunter 350 vs Classic 350: Features
Royal Enfield has introduced some crucial features in the 2025 Hunter, but the most important update is the change of the rear suspension set-up. The previous version of the Hunter 350’s firm set-up used to compromise the ride quality, especially on broken roads. The new model features a progressive rear dual coil suspension designed for enhanced comfort, with a 10 mm increase in ground clearance. It also sports a newly designed saddle with added foam for the pillion. Like the Goan 350 and the Classic 350, the Hunter 350 gets an LED headlamp for better illumination, a 27w Type-C fast charger and a much-needed slip and assist clutch. The updated Hunter retains the semi-analogue-digital speedometer, but now the top variants get an inbuilt navigation Tripper Pod.
The Classic 350 retains all the features the 2025 Hunter is equipped with, but offers a couple of additional goodies. Sticking to its heritage, the Classic 350 comes with LED pilot lamps and adjustable brake and clutch levers.
