The Hunter 350 is already the most affordable Royal Enfield bike in India, and it could soon become even more accessible once the new GST rates are enforced on September 22, 2025. If you’re planning to buy the Hunter, we’d suggest you wait until then so that you can save up to around Rs 14,000, depending on the variant.
As for the best Hunter 350 variant to buy, our choice is the mid-spec Rio White / Dapper Grey / Graphite Grey variants. The mid-spec version comes with all the necessary features (semi-digital instrument console with turn-by-turn navigation) and updates for 2025 (read revised seat and suspension for better comfort, LED headlight) - making it the best value-for-money Royal Enfield 350cc bike.
Reducing GST for bikes under 350cc will benefit Royal Enfield as the major chunk of the sales from the brand comes in from its 350cc range that also includes the Royal Enfield Classic 350, Royal Enfield Bullet 350, Meteor 350, and the Goan Classic 350.
That said, the higher capacity offerings from the brand such as the Himalayan 450 might get costlier. This is something which customers who were looking to upgrade to a more powerful Royal Enfield may not like. However, if you’re planning to buy a bigger Royal Enfield bike, now would be the right time to buy - before the new GST kicks in from September 22. Do note that you’ll be able to save if you manage to get your bike delivered before the deadline for the new GST implementation.
