Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Latest News & Updates

The biggest Hunter 350 news of 2025 came on April 26, when Royal Enfield launched the updated model. The changes focused on the Metro and Metro Rebel variants - the two most popular in the range.

2025 Update Highlights:

  • New linearly progressive rear suspension springs - more travel, better bump absorption. This addressed the single most-repeated complaint from Hunter owners since 2022.
  • Slip-and-assist clutch added - the first 350cc Royal Enfield to get this feature. Clutch pull is noticeably lighter, a meaningful change for city riding.
  • Ground clearance increased by 10 mm to 160 mm across the range.
  • LED headlamp now standard on Metro and Metro Rebel (previously an option).
  • USB Type-C fast charging port on Metro variants; USB Type-A on base trims.
  • Three new colour options: Rio White (Metro), Tokyo Black (Metro Rebel), London Red (Metro Rebel).
  • Price increase of approximately Rs 7,000 on Metro and Metro Rebel to absorb the feature additions.

The Standard and Retro variants remain mechanically unchanged from 2024.

Context: The Hunter 350 crossed 5 lakh cumulative sales in early 2025 - a milestone that underlines its position as Royal Enfield's fastest-selling new model in recent years. RE has been clear that the Hunter is central to their strategy for attracting younger, first-time buyers.

  • 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.

Looking ahead, Royal Enfield has not officially announced a Hunter 350 successor or major engine update. Industry speculation points to a possible Hunter 450 using the Himalayan 450's Sherpa engine in the next product cycle, but nothing is confirmed. For 2025, the updated Hunter 350 is the current production model. If you're on the fence about buying now versus waiting, the 2025 update is comprehensive - there's no known major update imminent that would justify holding off.
