After several teaser images and spy shots surfaced across social media, the arrival of the updated 2025 Royal Enfield Meteor 350 seems imminent.
The visuals of the new bike give us a fair idea of what to expect from the new Meteor 350. The entry-level cruiser bike has not undergone any major updates since its launch in November 2020.
The good news for fans and customers is the fact that even after getting major updates, the Meteor 350 will now be a lot more accessible in terms of price, due to the new GST reforms. Here are 5 updates that can be expected in the 2025 Meteor 350 cruiser.
1. Meteor 350 LED Headlamp Update:
The updated Meteor 350 will see the addition of the latest LED headlamp unit, which we have seen in the latest-generation Classic 350. Similarly, it will also feature the LED indicators like the Classic.
2. Slipper Clutch In 2025 Meteor 350:
Perhaps the biggest update indicated for the 2025 Meteor 350 is the addition of a slipper clutch. If Royal Enfield does offer this update, it would increase the entry-level cruiser’s value proposition and also enhance the riding experience of the bike.
3. Blacked-out Theme For Meteor 350 Facelift:
Another change that would keep fans interested is the availability of the blacked-out theme for the exhaust and engine casing in the Meteor 350. This would give a fresh look to variants that sit above the base Fireball trim and would also make maintenance easy for riders.
4. Big Drop In Meteor 350 Price Under GST 2.0:
Another big change in the Meteor 350 update would be its price tag. This would be good news for customers as they would now get higher-quality features at a reduced price under the uniform 18 percent GST on bikes below 350cc. It is estimated that prices for the Meteor 350 could drop by Rs 20,000 to Rs 22,000 post September 22.
5. New Colour Schemes In 2025 Meteor 350:
Last but not least, the Meteor 350 would also see the addition of some new colour options for the 2025 model. One of the teaser images spotted showed a dual-tone colour that would remind you of the ‘Dr Mayhem’ colour scheme that had first launched in the Continental GT 650.
While Royal Enfield has not confirmed the launch date for the 2025 Meteor 350, it could make its debut on September 15, based on a dealer invite shared on social media. Apart from the speculation of a slipper-clutch, mechanically, the Meteor 350 is expected to remain the same.
