🏍️ Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Owners Can Now Enjoy a Softer Suspension Upgrade
Royal Enfield has introduced a factory-authorized suspension upgrade for its popular Hunter 350 motorcycle. Designed to improve ride quality and comfort, especially on rough roads, this softer suspension setup is now available across service centers in India.
The move comes in response to feedback from existing Hunter 350 owners, many of whom found the stock suspension slightly stiff for daily city and long-distance rides.
🔧 What's New in the Suspension Upgrade?
The upgrade includes:
Re-tuned rear shock absorbers with improved damping.
Optimized spring rates to handle city potholes better.
More comfortable ride ergonomics without altering seat height or overall dynamics.
The new setup is similar to what’s offered on the Royal Enfield Classic 350, known for its plush ride.
🛠️ How to Get the Upgrade?
Visit your nearest Royal Enfield Authorized Service Center.
The suspension kit can be retrofitted for existing Hunter 350 owners.
It’s available as a paid upgrade, costing approximately ₹3,500–₹4,000 depending on the region.
📌 Important Notes
The upgrade does not affect warranty if done via authorized service.
It is currently available for both Retro and Metro variants.
No software or ECU changes are needed.
⚙️ Why the Upgrade Matters
The Hunter 350’s stiff rear suspension, while sporty, was less forgiving on broken roads. This softer upgrade is aimed at:
Improving comfort for pillion riders
Reducing fatigue on long commutes
Enhancing overall ride feel without affecting handling
❓FAQs
Q1: Is the suspension upgrade covered under warranty?
No, it’s a paid optional upgrade. However, installing it through an authorized service center will not void your warranty.
Q2: Will it change the bike’s seat height or ride stance?
No. The ride height and geometry remain unchanged, only the damping characteristics are softened.
Q3: Can new buyers request the softer suspension at purchase?
Yes. New buyers can request the upgrade during PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection) at select dealerships.
Q4: Does this affect performance or cornering?
The upgrade is tuned for comfort, but everyday handling remains intact. Riders may notice slightly more dive under braking.
Q5: Is this upgrade worth it for highway riders?
Yes. The softer setup improves comfort during long-distance touring while maintaining stability at highway speeds.
🧠 Final Thoughts
This new upgrade shows that Royal Enfield is listening to customer feedback and committed to improving the riding experience. For Hunter 350 owners looking to enhance comfort without switching bikes, this is a smart and affordable upgrade that makes daily commutes and weekend rides noticeably better.
