Royal Enfield Hunter 350: can the new, softer suspension be installed on older bikes?

I bought a Royal Enfield Hunter 350 last year, and I am wondering if I can install the new rear suspension and slipper clutch from the 2025 model on my bike. If so, how much will it cost?

Autocar India says: The RE Hunter 350’s stiff rear suspension and heavy clutch were two of the few issues in an otherwise very appealing motorcycle at a great price. The suspension, in particular, was a significant drawback, which is why the Hunter was not the winner when we compared it with a similarly priced rival that you can read about here. 

Royal Enfield has now addressed these concerns with the 2025 Hunter 350, and to see how much of a difference they have made, you can read our review. To answer your questions, yes, both items are retrofittable on the existing RE Hunter models. However, since the bike is quite new, prices for these components aren’t yet available, so you’ll have to check with your local dealer.
