New Delhi: Royal Enfield is going to launch the 2025 model of its popular neo-retro roadster, Hunter 350, on 26 April 2025. The launch will take place during the Hunterhood Festival held in Delhi and Mumbai. First launched in August 2022, the Hunter 350 has become one of the company’s most successful bikes with sales of over 5 lakh units in three years. A Royal Enfield spokesperson said, “Hunter 350 is extremely popular among young riders, and the new model will further strengthen their expectations.”

The 2025 Hunter 350 features subtle but important updates. The new LED headlamp, seen in models like the Interceptor 650, will provide better illumination. Also, the new rear suspension setup promises to address the complaint of harsh ride quality of the current model. Motorcycle expert Anil Mehta says, “These changes will make the Hunter more attractive for both urban and long rides.” New colour options may also be introduced, which will enhance the stylish appeal of the bike.

Mechanically, there are no changes to the Hunter 350. It is powered by a 349cc J-series engine, which puts out 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm of torque, and comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox. Dual-channel ABS is available with 300 mm front and 270 mm rear discs for braking. The current model is priced at Rs 1.50-1.75 lakh (ex-showroom), but a hike of Rs 5,000-10,000 is likely in the 2025 model. This update will further strengthen the Hunter 350 against competitors like the TVS Ronin and the Honda CB350RS.
