2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Leaks! Big Surprises Coming

What’s the biggest problem with the Royal Enfield Hunter 350? 90 per cent votes will fall in favour of a stiff suspension setup.

Hunter owners are born to ride but forced to endure poor damping. From social media to everyday traffic light conversations, every motorcycle enthusiast and even pillion riders are buzzing about the poor suspension of this motorcycle. Riders who happily joined the Royal Enfield family by purchasing the Hunter 350 and parking it in their garage are shedding tears after long rides on this roadster owing to its achingly stiff suspension performance.

But RE is all set to do something about it. There's a new Hunter 350 in the pipeline and based on the rumours, the engineers have addressed some of the key weaknesses of this motorcycle. 

A test mule has been spotted in the wild and after a closer look, the Hunter 350 community can't keep calm. A new suspension along with a few other upgraded components could theoretically transform the nature of the motorcycle: for better or worse.

Before you rush to your nearest Royal Enfield dealership in pursuit of pre-booking the new model, halt. The brand is yet to break silence on the updated model and so are its dealers.

Everything we know about the 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350

The leaked images and rumours surrounding the upcoming Hunter 350 show that it may get a new suspension setup along with an updated LED headlight. This new headlamp unit seems similar to what Royal Enfield offers on existing motorcycles like the recently updated Classic 350, the Interceptor 650 and the Shotgun 650.

The current headlight on the Hunter 350 relies on a halogen bulb setup. While this halogen setup helps to impart a retro look and feel, the new LED headlight setup is expected to offer better illumination for after-dark hours. Not to forget, LED headlamps also seem cool.

Then there's the new suspension. The leaked image suggests that Royal Enfield will replace the existing stiff twin-shock absorbers with a superiorly damped twin-shock unit at the rear in pursuit of a more comfortable ride. Although retro roadsters are meant to a sporty performance profile with instant bottom-end torque, the rough Indian conditions have proven it to be a bane more than boon. 

While RE may avoid making the Hunter 350 as comfortable as the Classic 350 owing to sales and marketing reasons, the new unit could provide a better quality ride for most riders. We hope that it might eliminate the need to install aftermarket suspension setups out of necessity.

Other speculations on the new Hunter 350

Apart from these changes, Royal Enfield may make other changes as well to outpace its competitors. We can expect a fully digital instrument cluster in the top variant of the Hunter 350, which could look similar to the one found in the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450.

Royal Enfield may upgrade its machines with updated paint schemes for a more head-turning look for the motorcycle.
