Intro

The 2025 Royal Enfield Meteor 350 has been spotted in new spy shots, with visible updates like LED lighting and a standard Tripper pod, and a likely slipper clutch to make shifting easier and safer – why it matters: these updates modernise a popular cruiser without changing its core.

What’s new on the 2025 Meteor 350?

Recent dealer-yard images show a new LED headlamp and LED turn indicators, better night visibility and a premium look straight from the factory. A new blue colour has been spotted and the Stellar trim gets a blacked-out exhaust for a cleaner look. Based on the spy shots, the motorcycle retains the familiar overall silhouette and is expected to continue using the J-series twin downtube spine frame.

Updated features and design changes

The Tripper navigation pod, once an accessory, is now reported to be a standard feature on the new model based on the spy shots. USB Type-C charging port is visible and expected across variants, no more adapters and faster top-ups for your devices. A slipper clutch is also widely reported to be coming, which will reduce lever effort and help in downshifts. This is a key technical update suggested by many sources but not yet confirmed by Royal Enfield.

Engine and performance: what remains the same?

No mechanical changes to the 349cc, single-cylinder, air-oil cooled J-series engine which is expected to continue at 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm with a 5-speed gearbox. That tune has been good for tractable torque and calm cruising; performance figures for the updated model aren’t verified yet.

Expected price and launch details

The official launch date isn’t announced, but multiple reports published as recently as September 14, 2025, suggest a launch during the festive season in India. While the price for the updated model isn’t confirmed, recent GST policy-led reductions on the current 350-series models could influence the final pricing, potentially making the entry point more accessible.

Royal Enfield Meteor 350 vs rivals

Meteor 350 will continue to target city-to-highway cruisers like Honda H’ness CB350 and Jawa 42, both with single-cylinder punch but different gearbox and tuning options. Buyers will have to weigh Meteor’s relaxed ergonomics and new convenience tech against rival performance claims and feature sets when the prices are out.

Spy shots: a closer look at the facelifted cruiser

Uncovered dealer-yard images show the LED updates and Tripper pod in place, no more accessory packs needed. New blue shade and blacked-out exhaust on the Stellar trim looks fresh and stealthy for city riders.

Conclusion

If slipper clutch comes and Tripper and Type-C stays standard, 2025 Meteor 350 is a quality of life upgrade with the J-series engine intact.
