Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Sundowner Orange Edition: What is new?
Royal Enfield continues to strengthen its cruiser portfolio with the unveiling of the stunning new Meteor 350 ‘Sundowner Orange’ Special Edition. Launched amidst the high energy of Motoverse 2025 in Goa, this new variant serves as a tribute to the massive community of Meteor riders globally.
Priced at INR 2,18,882 (ex-showroom, Chennai), the motorcycle is positioned as a premium offering that blends the classic cruiser aesthetic with modern functionality. Bookings for this model opened on November 22, 2025.
If you are considering a new cruiser, here are 5 compelling reasons and new features that make the Meteor 350 Sundowner Edition a standout choice.
1. Exclusive Sundowner Orange Paint Scheme and Badging
The most immediate visual differentiator of this special edition is its unique colorway. The ‘Sundowner Orange’ paint scheme is designed to capture the essence of warm sunsets and endless skies. Unlike the standard color options, this variant radiates a distinct spirit of pure cruising. Adding to its exclusivity, the motorcycle carries a special commemorative badge, making it a collector’s item for enthusiasts who value unique styling and limited-run aesthetics.
2. Premium Tubeless Spoke Wheels
One of the most significant functional upgrades in this edition is the inclusion of premium aluminium tubeless spoke wheels. For years, riders had to choose between the classic look of spoked wheels and the convenience of tubeless tyres. This feature offers the best of both worlds: the rugged, vintage appeal of spokes combined with the peace of mind that comes with tubeless technology, making puncture repairs significantly easier during long rides.
3. Comprehensive Factory-Fitted Touring Kit
The Sundowner Edition is designed to be “road-ready” straight from the showroom floor. Royal Enfield has equipped this model with a suite of factory-fitted touring accessories that are usually purchased separately. The package includes:
- Deluxe Touring Seat: For enhanced comfort during long hours in the saddle.
- Flyscreen: To reduce wind blast at highway speeds.
- Passenger Backrest: Ensuring the pillion rider is as comfortable as the rider.
4. Enhanced Technology and Visibility
Modernizing the retro-cruiser experience, the Sundowner Edition comes equipped with LED headlamps, offering superior illumination and visibility compared to standard halogen setups. Furthermore, it features the Tripper Navigation pod as standard equipment. This turn-by-turn navigation system, powered by Google Maps, is an essential tool for riders who love to explore new routes without the hassle of mounting a phone on the handlebars.
5. Superior Ergonomics and Control
To ensure a seamless mix of comfort and control, Royal Enfield has upgraded the control interfaces on this special edition. It features adjustable levers, allowing riders to fine-tune the reach of the brake and clutch levers to their hand size and preference. Additionally, the inclusion of a slip-and-assist clutch reduces the effort required to pull the clutch lever, significantly reducing hand fatigue during stop-and-go city traffic or frequent gear changes on winding roads.
