Royal Enfield has turned up the heat at its Motoverse 2025 event in Goa with the launch of a vibrant and significant new model. The brand has introduced the Meteor 350 Sundowner Orange, a special edition created to honor the global Meteor community, which has now surpassed an impressive 500,000 riders. This isn’t just a simple paint job; it’s a loaded, commemorative machine that introduces a highly-requested feature to the lineup.
Priced at ₹2.19 lakh (ex-showroom Chennai), the Sundowner Orange edition sits just ₹3,000 above the standard top-tier Meteor variant, positioning it as a premium, value-packed offering for enthusiasts.
What Sets the Sundowner Orange Apart?
While the heart of the motorcycle—the familiar and torquey 349cc air-oil cooled engine—remains unchanged, Royal Enfield has focused on delivering a superior, tour-ready experience straight from the factory. The most notable technical upgrade is the introduction of aluminium tubeless-spoke wheels, a first for the Meteor 350 series. This design merges the classic, timeless look of spoked wheels with the modern practicality and safety of tubeless tyres, making roadside punctures far easier to manage on long rides.
Further enhancing the riding experience are several key features borrowed from the 2026 model year updates. These include a new slip-and-assist clutch, which reduces lever effort and prevents rear-wheel lock-up during aggressive downshifts, coupled with adjustable brake levers for improved ergonomics. An LED headlamp ensures better visibility after sundown, living up to the model’s “Sundowner” name.
Beyond the mechanical updates, this edition is designed for the open road. It comes with a comprehensive, factory-fitted touring pack that includes:
- A dedicated touring seat for enhanced comfort on long journeys.
- A sleek flyscreen to improve wind protection.
- A passenger backrest, making it a more considerate machine for two-up riding.
- The Tripper navigation pod, which provides turn-by-turn directions and is standard on this model.
As a final touch marking its exclusive status, each motorcycle will bear a special commemorative badge, a nod to its role in celebrating the half-a-million-strong community. For riders seeking a classic cruiser that’s ready for adventure right off the showroom floor, the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Sundowner Orange presents a compelling and thoughtfully equipped package.
