The 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 continues to build on what made the Hunter an instant hit when it launched back in 2022. This modern-classic roadster became Royal Enfield’s second best-seller month after month, sitting just behind the iconic Classic 350. Now with the 2025 update, Royal Enfield has taken buyer feedback seriously and refined the Hunter 350 to make it even more practical and enjoyable for daily riders.
Familiar Styling With Fresh Colours
One look at the 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and you’ll know it stays true to the retro-modern design that made it so popular. The overall silhouette and bodywork remain the same, but Royal Enfield has added new colour options to keep things fresh.
Standout styling points:
- New shades like Rio White and London Red bring more vibrance
- Metro variant now gets an LED headlamp for a modern touch
- Premium paint quality and well-finished panels continue to impress
- Tactile switchgear and quality plastics feel upmarket
For buyers who love that neat blend of vintage charm and urban roadster style, the 2025 Hunter keeps that appeal intact.
Better Comfort And Everyday Usability
One of the key areas that Royal Enfield focused on for this update is rider comfort. The seat now has denser cushioning which makes a clear difference, especially on longer rides. The handlebar angle has also been tweaked to put the rider in a more commanding position with a natural elbows-out stance.
Practical comfort upgrades:
- Better padded seat makes long city commutes and weekend rides nicer
- New handlebar profile feels more engaging to hold
- Suspension has been tuned to handle poor roads better
- Rear springs now absorb bumps and potholes more softly
Riders in cities like Mumbai, where rough roads are common, will surely appreciate the Hunter’s improved ride quality.
Smooth, Easy-Going Performance
The 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 keeps the same trusted 349cc air-cooled J-series engine. Known for its strong low-end torque, this motor makes the Hunter easy to ride in traffic or on highways.
Performance highlights:
- 349cc engine produces around 20.2 bhp and 27Nm torque
- Light slip-assist clutch is noticeably smoother than before
- Crisp five-speed gearbox shifts cleanly with no false neutrals
- Feels lively thanks to the bike being lighter than Classic 350
Whether you’re cruising at 40kmph in fifth gear or stretching its legs at 90-100kmph, the Hunter 350 delivers a relaxed yet engaging ride with the signature Royal Enfield thump.
Agile Handling For City Fun
What really makes the Hunter stand out in Royal Enfield’s lineup is its nimble nature. Its lighter weight, 17-inch wheels and compact size mean it feels quick to steer and easy to filter through traffic.
Key handling traits:
- Flickable and agile compared to heavier siblings like the Classic and Meteor
- Feels at home weaving through city streets or taking corners
- New MRF tyres replace the older CEATs, offering decent dry grip
- Rear suspension tweaks don’t compromise cornering feel
Grip in wet conditions could be better but overall the new rubber adds confidence when leaning into turns.
Braking Gets The Job Done
Braking on the 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is decent but could use slight improvement. The front disc gives good bite but some riders may want sharper feedback from the lever. The rear disc and dual-channel ABS work well without feeling too intrusive.
Braking summary:
- Front disc offers good progression but needs clearer feel
- Rear disc performs reliably with smooth stopping power
- ABS keeps things safe without cutting in too early
For everyday use, the brakes are more than enough for city speeds and spirited backroad rides.
Handy Tech And Useful Features
Royal Enfield has given the Metro variant of the 2025 Hunter 350 some welcome upgrades on the tech front. The Tripper navigation pod and USB Type-C charger come standard now, which will be useful for city riders.
Features worth noting:
- LED headlamp on Metro variant looks stylish and offers better visibility
- Handy Tripper navigation pod for turn-by-turn directions
- Gear position indicator and fuel trip meter add everyday practicality
- USB Type-C fast charger lets you top up your phone on the go
Adjustable levers would’ve been a good addition but overall, the Hunter feels well-equipped for its price.
Good Mileage For Daily Rides
The 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is still the most fuel-efficient model in the brand’s lineup. It returns around 35kmpl in mixed city-highway use, giving you a usable range of over 450km with its 13-litre fuel tank.
Ride it hard in traffic and you can expect closer to 30-32kmpl, which is still reasonable for a bike of this class.
