Royal Enfield has rolled out the 2025 update for its popular roadster, the Hunter 350, marking its first major refresh since its debut. With a few important tweaks aimed at improving comfort, performance, and technology, the Hunter 350 becomes even more appealing to urban riders and touring enthusiasts alike.
Let’s dive into what’s new on the 2025 Hunter 350.
What’s New on the 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350?
Though the 349cc J-series engine remains unchanged, Royal Enfield has focused on meaningful updates that enhance the overall ride experience:
- Progressive Rear Suspension:
The Hunter now uses a progressive spring instead of a linear spring for the rear suspension. This update promises a more composed and plush ride, especially on uneven roads. - Increased Ground Clearance:
Thanks to a revised exhaust routing and the new suspension setup, ground clearance has improved by 10mm, offering better practicality for Indian road conditions. - Redesigned Seat:
While the seat profile remains the same, it now comes with higher foam density to provide improved long-distance comfort. - Slip-Assist Clutch:
A slip-and-assist clutch is now standard across all variants, offering smoother gear shifts and reduced clutch lever effort. - Enhanced Features:
- LED Headlamp for better visibility and a modern look.
- Digi-Analog Instrument Cluster featuring the Tripper Navigation Pod.
- Type-C USB Charging Port (on higher variants) for easy device charging on the go.
