Royal Enfield Hunter 350 VS Royal Enfield Classic 350 Spec Comparison: What's Different?

Royal Enfield has two popular motorcycles in the 350cc segment, the Hunter 350 and the Classic 350. While both share the same engine platform, they cater to very different riders. Here’s a closer look at how they stack up against each other in terms of specifications and features.

Both motorcycles are powered by the same 349cc, single-cylinder, 4-stroke, air-oil-cooled engine that puts out 20.2 bhp at 6,100 rpm and 27 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. Fuel is supplied via electronic fuel injection. The key difference lies not in output but in weight and ergonomics. At 181 kg, the Hunter 350 is lighter compared to the Classic 350’s 195 kg. This makes the Hunter slightly more agile in urban conditions, while the Classic feels more planted on highways.

Both bikes use Royal Enfield’s twin downtube spine frame. The Hunter is equipped with telescopic 41 mm front forks and twin rear shock absorbers, while the Classic gets telescopic 41 mm forks with 130 mm travel at the front and twin emulsion shock absorbers with 90 mm travel at the rear. Braking hardware is identical—300 mm front disc with twin-piston caliper and a 270 mm rear disc with single-piston caliper, supported by dual-channel ABS. Tyres differ slightly: the Hunter rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres (110/70 front and 140/70 rear), whereas the Classic uses larger 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels, available in both spoke (tube-type) and alloy (tubeless) setups.

The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 has a wheelbase of 1,370 mm, ground clearance of 160 mm, seat height of 790 mm and a kerb weight of 181 kg. On the contrary, the Classic 350 offers a longer wheelbase of 1,390 mm, slightly higher ground clearance at 170 mm, a taller seat at 805 mm and a heavier kerb weight of 195 kg. Both carry a 13-litre fuel tank, but the Classic’s size and ergonomics make it more suited for relaxed, long-distance riding, while the Hunter is tuned for city-friendly handling.

The 2025 Hunter 350 is priced between Rs 1.49 lakh and Rs 1.81 lakh (ex-showroom), depending on the variant and colour scheme. It is offered in three variants: Factory Black, Mid Variant with LED headlamp (Rio White, Dapper Grey, Graphite Grey) and the Top Variant (Tokyo Black, London Red, Rebel Blue). On the other hand, The Classic 350 starts higher, priced between Rs 1.97 lakh and Rs 2.35 lakh (ex-showroom). It comes in multiple colour options such as Redditch Red, Halcyon Black, Jodhpur Blue, Madras Red, Gun Grey, Stealth Black and Emerald.
