Royal Enfield recently updated its entry-level offering, the Hunter 350. The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 was aimed at new riders and youngsters, as a platform to step into the world of Royal Enfield. The Hunter initially saw success, but its harsh setup quickly became the reason for its downfall, and now, with the update, Royal Enfield is back hunting for fresh riders. Here’s how the 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 differs from the older model.
Royal Enfield Hunter 350 — What are the updates?
Let’s start with the visual updates. While the overall design of the motorcycle is identical — minimal bodywork, a single-piece seat, a round headlight, a side-mounted exhaust, and so on, the details in them have changed. The headlight, for example, is an LED unit replacing the older halogen one. The paint scheme is also new to attract younger buyers.
The next update that is difficult to make out is the ground clearance of the new Hunter 350. Royal Enfield has tweaked the exhaust routing, resulting in an additional 10mm ground clearance. The last update is a much-needed one — rear suspension. Royal Enfield has addressed the harsh riding setup and hopefully, the new suspension sorts this out. We will have more details once we ride the bike.
Royal Enfield Hunter 350 — What about equipment and engine?
On the equipment front, the 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 sees no changes — it is suspended by telescopic forks in the front, dual shocks at the rear, disc brakes at both ends, 17-inch wheels, and a semi-digital instrument cluster with the Tripper pod being an optional accessory.
On the engine front, the engine is the same unit as well, a 349cc J-Series air and oil-cooled unit mated to a five-speed gearbox. It is the same engine that powers all the other 350cc motorcycles in Royal Enfield’s lineup, however, the big difference here is that the Hinter 350 now gets a slip-assist clutch, making it the first for the J-Series lineup.
