Royal Enfield Hunter 350 — Overview

The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is a street bike available at a price range of Rs. 1,37,648 - Rs. 1,69,810 in India. It comes in 4 variants and 10 colours. It is powered by a 349.34 cc BS6 Phase 2B engine and has a expert reported mileage of 36.22 kmpl. With front disc and rear drum brakes, the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 comes with anti-locking braking system. The Hunter 350 bike weighs 181 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 13 liters. It develops a power output of 20.2 bhp and a torque of 27 Nm.

Royal Enfield crossed 5 lakh Hunter 350 units in under two and a half years - that's faster than almost any other RE model in history. It's not hard to see why. The Hunter 350 cracked a formula the brand had struggled with for years: an accessible, lightweight Royal Enfield that younger riders actually want. At 181 kg it's the lightest bike in the 350cc RE lineup, it handles Mumbai traffic without making you fight the bars, and the 349cc J-platform engine gives you that unmistakable RE thump without the heaviness of the Classic or Meteor. The 2025 update added a slipper clutch and reworked rear suspension on the Metro variants - fixing the two biggest complaints from early buyers. Starting at Rs 1.38 lakh, it's still the cheapest way into a Royal Enfield 350.

Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Latest Updates

View all

  • A full pricing breakdown of the 2026 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 lineup confirms four price tiers: Factory Black (Base) at Rs 1,37,640; Tarmac Black (Base Premium) at Rs 1,49,900; mid variants (Graphite Grey, Dapper Grey, Rio White) at Rs 1,65,133; and Top variants (Mumbai Yellow, Moonshot White) at Rs 1,69,804 - all ex-showroom.

  • Royal Enfield launched the 2026 Hunter 350 lineup on April 4, 2026 at the HunterHood festival in Lucknow, adding a new Base Premium variant at Rs 1,49,900 (alloy wheels, tubeless tyres, slipper clutch, single-channel ABS) and two new Top-variant colours - Mumbai Yellow and Moonshot White - both priced at Rs 1,69,804 ex-showroom.

What We Like

  • Lightest Royal Enfield 350 at 181 kg - genuinely easy to filter through traffic, make U-turns, and park
  • Smooth J-platform engine with strong low-end torque; 80 km/h is a relaxed sweet spot with minimal vibration
  • Modern retro design that stands apart from Classic/Bullet heritage - consistently turns heads
  • 2025 Metro variants get slipper clutch, revised progressive-spring rear suspension, and LED headlight

What Could Be Better

  • Vibrations above 90-100 km/h make sustained highway stretches uncomfortable - this is a city bike
  • No centre stand fitted on any variant - inconvenient for chain maintenance and parking on slopes
  • Tube-type tyres across the range; a puncture on the way to work is more of a headache than on tubeless-equipped rivals

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Royal Enfield Hunter 350?

The 2025 Hunter 350 is Royal Enfield's most refined urban motorcycle to date. The slipper clutch and improved rear suspension have addressed the biggest gripes from the original, and the retro-modern styling still looks sharp in a segment full of lookalikes. Buy it if you're primarily city-based and want an RE with character; look elsewhere if you regularly do NH rides or carry a pillion on broken roads.

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat is the ex-showroom price of Royal Enfield Hunter 350 in Delhi and Mumbai?▾
The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 ex-showroom price in Delhi starts at Rs 1,37,648 for the Standard variant and goes up to Rs 1,69,810 for the Metro Rebel. Mumbai ex-showroom prices are the same - ex-showroom is uniform across India. On-road, Mumbai buyers pay approximately Rs 1,65,443 for the base variant versus Rs 1,59,558 in Delhi, owing to higher Maharashtra RTO charges.
QWhat is the real-world mileage of Royal Enfield Hunter 350?▾
Royal Enfield claims 36.2 kmpl ARAI-certified mileage for the Hunter 350. In real-world city riding, owners consistently report 30-35 kmpl; highway figures can touch 38 kmpl at steady speeds. With a 13-litre tank, most riders fill up every 400-450 km in mixed use.
QWhich is better - Hunter 350 or Classic 350?▾
The Hunter 350 is better for city riders: it's 14 kg lighter (181 kg vs 195 kg), starts Rs 10,000-15,000 cheaper, and is more agile in traffic. The Classic 350 suits riders who want a traditional RE look, better pillion comfort, and a more upright long-distance posture. Both use the same J-platform 349cc engine with identical power figures.
QWhat are the major updates in the 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350?▾
The 2025 Hunter 350 (launched April 26, 2025) brought meaningful changes to the Metro and Metro Rebel variants: linearly progressive rear suspension springs for better bump absorption, a slip-and-assist clutch (first on any 350cc RE), ground clearance increased to 160 mm, LED headlamp made standard, USB Type-C fast charging, and three new colours. The Standard and Retro variants are mechanically unchanged.
QIs the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 good for highway riding?▾
The Hunter 350 is primarily built for city use and struggles on the highway. Vibrations become noticeable above 90-100 km/h, and the engine runs out of steam for sustained overtakes on NH speeds. Most owners describe 70-80 km/h as the comfortable highway cruise. It can handle occasional highway stretches but isn't the right pick if highway touring is a regular requirement.
QWhat is the service cost and interval for Royal Enfield Hunter 350?▾
Royal Enfield recommends the first service at 500 km (usually free at the dealership), then every 3,000 km or 3 months, whichever comes first. A routine service at an authorised RE centre costs approximately Rs 800-1,500 in labour, plus engine oil and filter - total around Rs 1,200-1,800. Service quality varies significantly by city and dealership, which is a common complaint among Hunter 350 owners.
QWhat is the EMI for the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 base variant?▾
For the Hunter 350 Standard at Rs 1,37,648 ex-showroom, with a 20% down payment and a 36-month loan at 9-10% interest, the monthly EMI works out to approximately Rs 3,500-3,800. On-road price and exact EMI depend on your city and lender. Most banks and NBFCs offer 90-100% financing on Royal Enfield motorcycles for salaried applicants.
QDoes the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 get dual-channel ABS?▾
Only the Metro and Metro Rebel variants of the Hunter 350 get dual-channel ABS. The Standard and Retro variants come with single-channel ABS, which covers only the front wheel. If dual-channel ABS is important to you, the Metro at Rs 1,65,139 ex-showroom is the entry point.
