Royal Enfield has expanded the 2026 Hunter 350 lineup with the introduction of a new Base Premium variant and two new colourways, further strengthening the model’s appeal among urban riders. The updated range was unveiled at the brand’s street culture platform, HunterHood, held in Lucknow.
The headline addition is the new Base Premium variant, finished in Tarmac Black, which enhances the entry-level offering with a more premium feel and improved usability. It now comes equipped with alloy wheels in place of spoke rims, a refreshed round halogen headlamp, and a digi-analogue instrument cluster paired with rotary switchgear for a more intuitive interface. Other updates include a stitched seat, a sporty grab rail, single-channel ABS, and a slip and assist clutch, features aimed at elevating everyday riding comfort while keeping costs accessible.

At the top end, Royal Enfield has introduced two new colour options: Mumbai Yellow and Moonshot White, designed to amplify the Hunter’s identity as a lifestyle-oriented motorcycle. Mumbai Yellow channels the fast-paced, vibrant energy of city life, while Moonshot White adopts a more artistic approach, drawing inspiration from celestial themes and storytelling elements.
Speaking on the update, Yadvinder Singh Guleria, Chief Commercial Officer, Royal Enfield, highlighted that the Hunter 350 continues to resonate with a new generation of riders seeking simplicity, usability, and a strong sense of identity. The addition of the Base Premium variant, he noted, broadens accessibility while maintaining the motorcycle’s core appeal.
Bookings and retail for the updated lineup commenced on April 4, 2026, across authorised dealerships and the company’s official website.
The Hunter 350 remains positioned as one of Royal Enfield’s most urban-focused offerings, blending lightweight agility with modern-retro styling. With these updates, the brand aims to further expand its reach beyond metro cities into smaller towns and emerging markets.
