    2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Launched – Major Updates For Top Variant

    2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350While price of the base variant remains unchanged at Rs 1.50 lakh, the higher variants of 2025 Hunter 350 will now cost ~ Rs 6.5K more
    Royal Enfield has launched the 2025 Hunter 350 with multiple new updates for the higher variants. Key highlights include sportier colourways, enhanced riding comfort and multiple new additions to the equipment list. Let’s explore all the latest upgrades introduced with 2025 Hunter 350.
    2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 – What’s new?
    Based on market feedback, the stiff rear suspension setup of 2025 Hunter 350 has been upgraded for a plusher feel. It now uses progressive springs instead of linear springs. Many Hunter 350 users had pointed out the bike’s stiff rear suspension. This has now been fixed with the 2025 model. Users can expect greater comfort across rough patches and bumpy roads. However, progressive springs also mean that some of the handling precision may be diluted.

    Overall ride comfort has been further improved with the use of higher density foam cushioning for the seat. The shape and dimensions of the seat remain unchanged. At the front, 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 gets updated LED headlight. It has enhanced illumination, making night rides a lot safer.

    New colourways, pricing

It seems reasonable, as these variants have received multiple new updates.

    Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 Electric First Ever Spy Shots – 2026 Launch?

    Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 ElectricWhile imbibing classic design elements, the Flying Flea C6 features advanced tech such as ride modes, traction control and OTA updates
    Royal Enfield showcased its electric motorcycle, the Flying Flea C6, at the EICMA 2024. The bike has now been spotted on road tests in India for the first time. It’s quite a spectacle in today’s age, with a design that echoes the original Flying Flea of the 1940s. Let’s take a closer look and spot some of the finer details.
    Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 electric bike – Key highlights
    One of the striking features is the forged aluminium girder forks at the front. This setup was widely used with several pre-1930s bikes. The original Flying Flea further improved the styling with the use of girder forks. Distinctive aesthetics and a unique riding experience are likely to be the highlights of Girder Forks.
    Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 Electric
    Flying Flea C6 also gets an articulating mudguard. It has multiple benefits such as improved wheel clearance and enhanced protection from the elements. Other key highlights include a retro-style round headlamp along with round rearview mirrors and tail lamp, echoing the design of the yesteryears.
    The full colour digital console follows the same format and displays a range of information such as battery level, speedometer and range. With Bluetooth connectivity, users will be able to access a range of connectivity features. The bike has ride modes, allowing users to choose sporty performance or prioritize range based on their needs.
    Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 – Single Seat
    Another distinctive feature is a backlit power button located on the faux fuel tank. Side panels have intelligently designed grooves that will channel air to enhance aerodynamics and ensure optimal cooling. These design elements ensure an eye-catching profile for the bike. Riding stance is quite comfortable with a wide, pulled-back handlebar and centrally positioned footpegs.
    The recently spotted test vehicle can be seen with a removable pillion seat. The bike has alloy wheels in comparison to wire-spoke wheels used with the original Flying Flea. At the rear, the bike uses a mono-shock suspension. Wheels are likely 19-inch at both ends, wrapped in 90/90 tyres. Both ends have disc brakes and dual-channel ABS will be standard. The bike will also have cornering ABS, along with a switchable ABS function.
    Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 Electric
    Performance, range
    Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 will be using a mid-mounted permanent magnet electric motor, connected to a belt final drive. This setup ensures a smooth performance. While power and torque figures have not been revealed, the Flying Flea C6 performance could be comparable to a petrol-powered 250cc-300cc motorcycle.
    Power will be supplied via a non-removable battery pack that supports fast charging. While range is not known, Royal Enfield’s Chief Growth Officer of Electric, Mario Alvisi, had earlier hinted at a range of around 200 km. This is likely to vary based on the variant. Flying Flea C6 is expected to get multiple battery pack options to capture a large segment of users. This will be based on the specific region. Flying Flea C6 will be a truly global product, targeting leading markets such as Europe and the United States.

    2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 SpiedHunter 350 is currently the third best selling Royal Enfield motorcycle with a market share of around 20%
    Catering to riders who prefer a compact and agile machine, Royal Enfield launched the Hunter 350 in 2022. With its athletic build and sporty profile, Hunter 350 has emerged as one of the preferred options in the 350cc motorcycle segment. The fact that Hunter 350 is the most accessible Royal Enfield bike has also helped boost sales. To sustain the momentum, Royal Enfield will introduce the updated Hunter 350 on 26th April at the HunterHood festival.
    2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Spied
    This update brings several rider-focused improvements, both in terms of hardware and features, aimed at enhancing the bike’s appeal and addressing customer feedback. Ahead of launch, Motorcent channel has shared detailed walkaround video of the new 2025 Hunter.
    2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Spied
    One of the most significant updates can be seen in the rear suspension setup. The current Hunter 350 has been known for its relatively stiff ride, a result of its linear spring suspension. The new spy images reveal that Royal Enfield is switching to a progressive spring design at the rear. While this doesn’t automatically confirm a more plush ride, it shows that Royal Enfield is actively responding to customer concerns to improve comfort.
    Another important update is the addition of an LED headlight — a feature now being standardized across Royal Enfield’s lineup. With this update, all RE bikes will feature LED headlights except for the Bullet 350.

    New colours, graphics
    Another area that Royal Enfield has consistently focused on is to introduce new colour options for its motorcycles. For most Royal Enfield bikes, the number of colour options are usually higher than that available with respective rival offerings. This approach ensures that users can happily choose their favourite colour and don’t have to make compromises.
    2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Spied
    Colour options currently available with Hunter 350 include Factory Black, Dapper Green, Dapper White, Dapper Grey, Rebel Black, Rebel Blue and Rebel Red. Some updates to the graphics could also help achieve a fresh new look. Excluding the likely changes to the rear suspension, other hardware specifications will remain the same.
    Launched as the most affordable Royal Enfield in 2022, the Hunter 350 has maintained its pricing strategy since launch, currently priced between Rs 1.50 lakh and Rs 1.75 lakh (ex-showroom). However, with the latest feature and suspension upgrades, a price revision may be on the cards.

    2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Launch At HunterHood Festival – Delhi and Mumbai

    Royal Enfield Hunter 350Hunter 350 is currently the third best selling Royal Enfield motorcycle with a market share of around 20%
    Catering to riders who prefer a compact and agile machine, Royal Enfield launched the Hunter 350 in 2022. With its athletic build and sporty profile, Hunter 350 has emerged as one of the preferred options in the 350cc motorcycle segment. The fact that Hunter 350 is the most accessible Royal Enfield bike has also helped boost sales. To sustain the momentum, Royal Enfield will introduce the updated Hunter 350 on 26th April at the HunterHood festival. Let’s ascertain what all could be new with the updated Hunter 350.
    2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 – What to expect?
    Based on user feedback, one area for improvement is the suspension setup. Many Hunter 350 users have shared their experience about the bike’s stiff suspension setup at the rear. In its current form, the bike is equipped with twin tube emulsion shock absorbers with 6-step adjustable preload. A stiffer suspension ensures agile characteristics and quick manoeuvres, which is perfect for city conditions. However, a stiff suspension can also impact overall ride comfort, especially when negotiating rough patches.
    2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350
    Other 350cc Royal Enfield bikes such as Classic 350 use a similar rear suspension, but the tuning is different. On the Classic 350, the rear suspension is tuned to prioritize comfort. This is in line with the bike’s retro-cruiser persona. A softer suspension adequately meets the needs of long rides and complements the bike’s relaxed riding ergonomics.
    Effects of the stiff suspension used with Hunter 350 are amplified since the bike utilizes 17-inch wheels at both ends. In comparison, the Classic 350 comes with 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels. Hunter 350’s smaller wheels enhance agility. But combined with the stiffer suspension, overall riding comfort is impacted across rough surfaces.
    2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350
    Royal Enfield is known to listen keenly to consumer feedback. As the stiff suspension of Hunter 350 has been highlighted by several users, the updated version could get a new rear suspension. Evidence to support this possibility also comes from an earlier test mule sighting, which was seen with a new rear suspension.
    New colours, graphics
    Another area that Royal Enfield has consistently focused on is to introduce new colour options for its motorcycles. For most Royal Enfield bikes, the number of colour options are usually higher than that available with respective rival offerings.

Some updates to the graphics could also help achieve a fresh new look. Excluding the likely changes to the rear suspension, other hardware specifications will remain the same.
    With the updates, Royal Enfield Hunter 350 could be offered at a slightly higher pricing. The base variant, Factory Black, is available at a starting price of 1.50 lakh. The Dapper variants are priced at Rs 1.70 lakh, whereas the Rebel variants have a price tag of Rs 1.75 lakh. More

    Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 Spied – EICMA 2025 Debut Expected

    Royal Enfield Himalayan 750With its new 750cc range, Royal Enfield will have enhanced potential to target global markets such as Europe and North America
    Royal Enfield is in full bloom, continuing to launch new models, enter new segments and expand its presence across international markets. After establishing its dominance in the 350cc-650cc segment, Royal Enfield will be upgrading its portfolio to include a new range of 750cc motorcycles. One of these is the Himalayan 750, which has been spotted again on road tests. Let’s check out the key features.
    Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 Spied
    Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 comes across as a road-biased adventure-tourer with capabilities for mild to moderate off-road tracks. The bike looks quite large and will definitely stand out on the streets. Some of the key features include a round LED headlamp, tall windscreen, prominent tank extensions, sculpted fuel tank design and high-mounted side exhaust.
    Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 Side Profile
    Himalayan 750 has robust grab rails and a top rack at the rear. Mounting points for side panniers have also been provided. The bike has a low seat height, which will allow easy control and handling. Himalayan 750 will be quite heavy, weighing around 210-220 kg. It will be useful when cruising at high speeds. Himalayan 750 is expected to have a top speed of around 150 km/h.
    As evident in the images, Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 has a comfortable, upright riding stance. Even extra-long journeys will be easier to endure, thanks to the wide handlebar and centrally positioned footpegs. These work to create a relaxed rider triangle that reduces fatigue and enhances comfort.
    Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 Front
    Performance, specs
    Royal Enfield will be using an entirely new 750cc engine for Himalayan 750. It has been developed from the ground up and designed for enhanced performance and to meet stricter emission norms. It won’t be a tweaked version of the existing 650cc engine, although some configurations such as air-oil cooling could be similar.
    Talking about performance, the new 750cc engine could generate around 50 PS and 60 Nm of torque. In comparison, the existing 650cc engine generates 47 PS and 52 Nm of torque. With more power, Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 will have improved cruising capabilities. The test vehicle seems to be using 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wire-spoke wheels. Based on market feedback, alloy wheels and/or tubeless wire-spoke wheels could be introduced at a later date.
    Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 Side Profile
    Suspension setup comprises USD forks at front and a mono-shock unit at the rear. The bike has dual discs at the front and a single-disc brake at rear. A number of premium features are expected such as cruise control, Bluetooth connectivity and TFT display with turn-by-turn navigation.
    Himalayan 750 launch timeline
    It is possible that Royal Enfield could showcase its 750cc motorcycles at the EICMA 2025. The first bike to be launched from Royal Enfield’s 750cc range is expected to be Continental GT-R 750. It was recently spotted on road tests. Earlier, the Interceptor 750 was also spotted on road tests.
    Royal Enfield Himalayan 750
    Himalayan 750 is expected to be launched in late 2026 or early 2027. Starting price could be around Rs 4 lakh. Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 will take on rivals such as Kawasaki Versys 650 and Suzuki V-Strom 650.

    Royal Enfield Continental GT-R Will Debut The New 750cc Engine

    Royal Enfield Continental GT-R
    India’s de-facto Classic motorcycle manufacturer, Royal Enfield, has been expanding its portfolio for quite some time. The company currently operates 4 powertrains – 350cc, 440cc, 450cc and 650cc. Now, there will be a fifth 750cc engine and it will debut on a Royal Enfield Continental GT-R faired Cafe Racer bike. Let’s take a closer look.
    Royal Enfield Continental GT-R
    For some time, Royal Enfield has been working on a new engine that packed a greater displacement than its current 650cc engine. Test mules that were packing this new engine have been spied on multiple occasions. These test mules comprised multiple body styles – Interceptor, Himalayan and Continental GT.
    Royal Enfield Continental GT750 Spied
    A recent report confirms the new 750cc engine under development at Royal Enfield stables. This new 750cc engine is internally codenamed ‘R’ and it is likely to be a big-bore version of the current 650cc parallel-twin oil-cooled engine. Royal Enfield has done big bore versions before and Continental GT 535 is a stark example.
    The theme seems to be continuing as Continental GT-R will be the first Royal Enfield that will reportedly be the maiden vehicle to debut this new 750cc twin-cylinder engine. This motorcycle is under development and is internally codenamed R1E. Testing of this motorcycle has commenced and there have been test mule sightings as well.
    Royal Enfield 750cc Faired Motorcycle Spied
    We can expect this engine to make more power and more torque than the 47 bhp and 52.3 Nm seen on Continental GT 650. We can expect around 50 bhp to 55 bhp of peak power and around 60 Nm of peak torque from this motor. To counteract this increase in performance, Royal Enfield is offering a dual disc brake setup at the front for better stopping power.
    2025 Royal Enfield GT750 Render
    Design & Components
    Rushlane’s render of Royal Enfield Continental GT-R based on these spy shots shows what we can expect it to look like when launched. It looks like it will be positioned on the same chassis as current Continental GT 650 on which Interceptor 650 and Interceptor Bear 650 are also positioned. Spy shots of this bike also showed alloy wheels compatible with tubeless tyres.
    We can see a semi-fairing with a retro-style round headlight and a windshield. Suspension components include RSU telescopic front forks and twin-shockers at the rear. We hope there is a higher variant with USD forks on this machine. It could feature the same Tripper Dash as Bear 650 which features music control and Google Map integration.
    Royal Enfield 750cc Faired Motorcycle Spied
    The company is likely to debut this motorcycle by the end of this financial year. Probably at 2025 EICMA Show. Launch might happen by the end of 2026. Where pricing is concerned, Royal Enfield Continental GT-R might cross the Rs 4 lakh (Ex-sh) mark, owing to the improved components and higher performance.
