The Hunter 350 is Royal Enfield’s compact, petrol-powered 350cc roadster. This bike is Royal Enfield’s lightest and most affordable bike launched in August 2022. It has crossed 5 lakh sales, and it still sells more than 22,000 units a month (BikeDekho, July 2026). But choosing one involves more than picking a tank colour. The lower trims and the Mid/Top versions differ in braking equipment, tyres and weight. Even the price you see online may include an accessories package that another website leaves out.
As checked on 5 November 2026, BikeDekho and BikeWale list ex-showroom prices from ₹1,37,640 to ₹1,72,445. Treat those as a shopping reference, then request a dated quotation for your exact variant and registration location. So what makes it so popular, and is it the right bike for you? Let’s break it down.
Hunter 350: Key Takeaways
- Compare equipment before paint: Mid and Top have dual-channel ABS; Base and Base Premium have single-channel ABS.
- Check the invoice: the city estimates below include a ₹12,920 accessories kit.
- Tokyo Black belongs to the Top trim. Tarmac Black and Factory Black are different choices.
- Budget using your actual mileage. A published efficiency figure is not a guarantee in NCR traffic.
- Test the bike where you use it: parking, slow turns, broken roads and pillion riding reveal more than a short straight-line ride.
- Price: From ₹1.38 lakh ex-showroom, which makes it the cheapest way into a Royal Enfield 350.
- New for 2026: A Base Premium variant with alloy wheels, plus Mumbai Yellow and Moonshot White colours (launched April 4, 2026).
- Mileage: 36.2 kmpl claimed; real-world figures sit around 30–35 kmpl.
- Best for: City riders, first-time Royal Enfield buyers and shorter riders (790 mm seat).
- Watch out: Base variant has a rear drum brake and tubed tyres.
What’s New on the Hunter 350 in 2026?
Royal Enfield officially expanded the lineup at its HunterHood event in Lucknow on April 4, 2026. The additions were the Base Premium in Tarmac Black and two Top-trim colours, Mumbai Yellow and Moonshot White. Bookings and retail for those additions began that day, according to the company’s launch announcement.
The announcement positioned Base Premium between the entry model and the better-equipped versions. It brought alloy wheels, revised switchgear and instruments, a stitched seat, a sporty grab rail and a slip-assist clutch, while retaining single-channel ABS. Its launch price was ₹1,49,900 ex-showroom Chennai; that historical price should not be confused with a November dealer quote.
The current Royal Enfield Hunter 350 page also highlights revised suspension and progressive rear springs. It updates include a revised seat, 160 mm ground clearance, Type-C charging, appropriately equipped versions, LED lighting and Tripper navigation. These are features to check by variant, not a reason to assume every showroom bike has the same specification. We did not establish a separate new-model launch in November.
In addition, there are two more updates worth knowing:
- Lower GST: From September 22, 2025, GST on two-wheelers up to 350cc dropped from 28% to 18%. Since the Hunter’s engine is 349cc, it stays in the lower slab. As a result, Royal Enfield cut prices by up to ₹22,000 across its 350cc range.
- Free gear indicator retrofit: Some 350cc Royal Enfields built after August 2025 shipped without a gear position indicator because of a rare-earth magnet shortage. In July 2026, Royal Enfield began fitting it free of cost. If you own one, check the Royal Enfield app or your service centre.

Hunter 350 Variants
| Variant | Key distinction | Buying consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Base | Spoke wheels, tube-type tyres, rear drum, single-channel ABS | Lowest listed entry price |
| Base Premium | Alloy wheels, tubeless tyres, rear drum, single-channel ABS | Wheel upgrade without the Mid’s braking specification |
| Mid | Dual-channel ABS, rear disc, LED headlamp | Prioritise equipment over premium paint |
| Top | Mid’s core mechanical specification with Top colourways | Choose primarily for the finish you prefer |
Equipment above follows the variant-specific pages of Royal Enfield’s 2026 technical brochure. Some third-party descriptions still call Base Premium’s tyres tubed; the current official brochure lists them as tubeless. Confirm the delivered motorcycle’s specification rather than relying on an old comparison card.
Our buying view: if your budget stretches to it, start your comparison with the Mid because the braking equipment is a more meaningful distinction than a colour upgrade. Based on the listed prices, Mid costs ₹15,468 more than Base Premium, while Top adds ₹4,742 over Mid. Those are ex-showroom differences calculated from the table, not the final financed amount.
Hunter 350 price: Current ex-showroom Price
| Variant | Ex-showroom price |
|---|---|
| Base | ₹1,37,640 |
| Base Premium | ₹1,52,235 |
| Mid | ₹1,67,703 |
| Top | ₹1,72,445 |
These are the figures displayed in BikeDekho’s New Delhi breakdown and cross-checked against BikeWale’s current variant listing on the review date. They exclude the full cost of registration, insurance and any selected extras. Older listings still display lower figures for some trims, so compare dated quotations rather than search-result snippets.

Hunter 350 on-road price in Delhi and Gurgaon

The following are BikeDekho’s displayed estimates, not an independently obtained dealer price list. Price may vary as per diffeent sources and places. Delhi and New Delhi refer to the same city listing here. Gurgaon, also called Gurugram, has a separate breakdown.
| Variant | New Delhi Price | Gurgaon Price |
|---|---|---|
| Base | ₹1,73,646 | ₹1,71,058 |
| Base Premium | ₹1,89,653 | ₹1,86,774 |
| Mid | ₹2,06,619 | ₹2,03,430 |
| Top | ₹2,11,820 | ₹2,08,536 |
Important comparison detail: both portal breakdowns include a ₹12,920 Basic Accessories Kit under “Others.” An extended warranty of ₹5,999 is shown separately as an optional add-on. Ask the dealer which items you are selecting and what the payable total is without unwanted extras.

For example, subtracting that kit from the displayed Delhi Base total gives ₹1,60,726. This is our arithmetic using the portal’s components, not an official minimum on-road price. It explains why two apparently similar quotations may differ substantially before anyone has offered a discount.
For a Hunter 350 top model on-road price in Delhi, ask for the Top variant and named colour on the invoice. Compare registration charges, insurance cover, finance fees and accessories line by line. Register the bike at the address and location applicable to you; do not choose a city solely because its online estimate looks cheaper.
Base Premium On-Road Price by City (November 2026)
The new Base Premium is the most searched variant this month. Here’s the full price breakdown:
| City | Ex-Showroom | RTO | Insurance | Accessories & Others | On-Road Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Delhi | ₹1,52,235 | ₹13,248 | ₹11,250 | ₹12,920 | ₹1,89,653 |
| Kolkata | ₹1,52,235 | ₹16,503 | ₹11,250 | ₹12,920 | ₹1,92,908 |
| Chennai | ₹1,52,235 | ₹19,643 | ₹11,250 | ₹12,970 | ₹1,96,098 |
| Mumbai | ₹1,52,235 | ₹19,798 | ₹11,250 | ₹12,920 | ₹1,96,203 |
| Bengaluru | ₹1,52,235 | ₹31,916 | ₹11,250 | ₹13,420 | ₹2,08,821 |
As you can see, Bengaluru is the costliest city to buy a Hunter 350, mainly because Karnataka charges the highest road tax. In contrast, Delhi is among the cheapest.
EMI: BikeDekho estimates an EMI of about ₹5,032 per month for the Base and about ₹5,528 per month for the Base Premium. Both assume a 36-month loan at 9.7% with a down payment of roughly ₹17,000–₹19,000. Your bank’s rate may differ.
Offers: Royal Enfield has not announced official discounts on the Hunter 350 this month. However, dealers may offer festive deals, exchange bonuses or finance schemes, so ask your nearest showroom.
Tip: Ask your dealer to remove the accessories kit if you don’t need it. That alone can save you around ₹13,000. An extended warranty (about ₹5,999) is optional and not included in these prices.
Tokyo Black, Tarmac Black and the other colours
Hunter 350 Tokyo Black is a Top-variant colour. The current official colour grouping is Factory Black for Base; Tarmac Black for Base Premium; Rio White, Dapper Grey and Graphite Grey for Mid; and Tokyo Black, London Red, Rebel Blue, Mumbai Yellow and Moonshot White for Top.
Buying Tips: See the paint in daylight before booking. Photographs, showroom lighting and screen settings can change how a finish looks. Ask about stock, manufacturing month and delivery timing for your chosen colour, and get the agreed variant written on the booking receipt.
Hunter 350 Mileage and Fuel Budget
Royal Enfield states that 36.2km/l can be expected under ideal road and environmental conditions. Separately, BikeWale’s mileage page lists an owner-reported average of 35km/l. That is a portal’s user-reported figure, not a controlled EV Insight Hub test or a promise for your commute.
For budgeting, use a sensitivity check. At an assumed petrol price of ₹100/litre, riding 1,000km costs about ₹2,857 at 35km/l or ₹3,333 at an assumed 30km/l. The second figure is a conservative calculation scenario, not a measured result. Substitute your local fuel price and actual consumption; servicing, tyres, insurance and finance are extra.
If running cost is your main reason for buying, broaden the comparison beyond retro motorcycles.

Hunter 350 vs Rivals: Which Is Better?
You can check here the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 vs TVS Ronin vs Jawa 42 FJ vs Honda CB350RS comparison of engine, power, torque, weight and price.

- Hunter 350 vs TVS Ronin: The Ronin is lighter and about ₹7,000 cheaper. However, the Hunter offers much more torque and the Royal Enfield thump.
- Hunter 350 vs Jawa 42 FJ: The Jawa is far more powerful thanks to its liquid-cooled engine, but it costs over ₹60,000 more.
- Hunter 350 vs Honda CB350RS: The Honda has slightly more torque and refinement. Still, the Hunter’s base price undercuts it by about ₹60,000.

Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Most affordable Royal Enfield 350 | Base variant has a rear drum brake |
| Strong low-end torque for city riding | Base variant uses tubed tyres |
| Light, agile handling for a Royal Enfield | Ride feels stiff over sharp bumps |

| 10 colour options and a huge accessory range | Feels stretched above 95 kmph |
What to check on your test ride
A specification sheet cannot establish comfort on your route. Use a familiar mix of slow traffic and uneven surfaces, within the dealer’s permitted test-ride conditions. Pay attention to the following:
- Low-speed control: clutch reach, smooth starts and turning space.
- Fit: reach to the ground, handlebar position and knee room.
- Ride comfort: the surfaces you actually cross, not just smooth showroom roads.
- Pillion use: seating, footrest reach and room with the passenger you normally carry.
- Everyday equipment: mirror view, lighting, charging connection and navigation fitment.
- Ownership support: the current service schedule, written warranty terms and local workshop access.
For another retro-roadster option, read our Jawa 42 FJ buying guide. Compare both motorcycles on the same route and with similarly itemised quotations. If your main use is predictable urban commuting with dependable charging access, our Revolt RV400 guide provides an electric alternative to investigate, rather than a like-for-like performance replacement.
Conclusion :The buying decision
The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 deserves a shortlist if you want a compact Royal Enfield roadster and are comfortable with its weight and riding position. The most useful decision is whether the Mid’s equipment fits your budget; choosing Top is then largely a question of preferred colour and finish.
Before paying, keep three things together: the named variant, an itemised on-road quotation and notes from your test ride. Save this guide or share the quotation checklist with someone comparing dealers. A clearly explained price is more useful than an attractive headline figure.
Frequently Asked Questions

BikeDekho’s reviewed New Delhi listing shows ₹2,11,820 for Top, including a ₹12,920 accessories kit. This is a portal estimate, not a guaranteed dealer price. Check selected extras and insurance before comparing quotes.
The reviewed BikeDekho Gurgaon estimates run from ₹1,71,058 for Base to ₹2,08,536 for Top, including the listed accessories kit. The final total depends on the applicable registration, insurance and items you select.
Yes. Royal Enfield places Tokyo Black in Top and Tarmac Black in Base Premium. They are different colour-and-variant combinations, not interchangeable names for the same motorcycle.
No. The current official brochure specifies single-channel ABS for Base and Base Premium, and dual-channel ABS for Mid and Top. Check the exact variant instead of assuming that a generic model-page feature applies across the range.
Royal Enfield quotes 36.2km/l under ideal conditions; BikeWale reports a 35km/l owner average. Your result can differ. Build a fuel budget with your local petrol price and a lower-efficiency scenario, then revise it using your own tank-to-tank records.
