Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Sundowner Edition
Royal Enfield has expanded its 350cc cruiser lineup with the launch of the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Sundowner Edition, priced at ₹2.18 lakh (ex-showroom). Targeted specifically toward touring enthusiasts, this new variant enhances long-distance comfort with premium factory-fitted accessories, cosmetic additions and a refreshed colour theme.
The Meteor 350 has been one of Royal Enfield’s best-selling modern cruisers, and the Sundowner Edition builds further on its touring DNA — making it even more suitable for highway cruising and multi-day road trips.
What’s New on the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Sundowner Edition?
While it retains the same engine and core chassis, the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Sundowner Edition gets multiple updates meant to improve practicality and comfort. Key additions include:
🟢 Large Touring Windscreen
This new taller windscreen significantly improves wind deflection at high speeds, reducing fatigue during long rides.
🟢 Premium Touring Seat With Cushioning
The Sundowner-branded seat offers softer padding and enhanced lumbar support to ensure hours of comfortable saddle time.
🟢 Pillion Backrest (Factory-Fitted)
The addition of a wide backrest boosts pillion comfort and makes the Sundowner Edition more appealing for long-distance couples’ touring.
🟢 Blacked-Out Styling Package
Elements such as engine casing, crash protection panels and exhaust get blacked-out touches for a sportier, more modern look.
🟢 New Colour Scheme
The exclusive “Golden Hour” colourway combines dual-tone paint and premium graphics — visually separating the Sundowner Edition from standard variants.
Together, these additions make the Sundowner Edition one of the most factory tour-ready cruisers in the 350cc space.

Engine, Performance & Ride Experience
Although the Sundowner Edition doesn’t get mechanical changes, the proven performance focus remains intact:
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Engine | 349cc, air-oil cooled |
| Max Power | 20.2 bhp |
| Max Torque | 27 Nm |
| Transmission | 5-speed |
| Top Speed | ~120 km/h (approx.) |
| Real-World Mileage | 30–35 kmpl (riding style dependent) |
The Meteor platform has already earned praise for its refined engine, stable highway manners and plush suspension. With the added wind protection and premium seating, the ride experience goes up another level for touring lovers.
Price Comparison — Sundowner vs Standard Models
| Variant | Price (Ex-Showroom) |
|---|---|
| Fireball | ₹2.06 lakh |
| Stellar | ₹2.12 lakh |
| Supernova | ₹2.25 lakh |
| Sundowner Edition (New) | ₹2.18 lakh |
● Positioned just below the top-spec Supernova
● Makes excellent value considering factory-fitted touring accessories
If purchased separately, the windscreen, touring seat and backrest cost significantly more — making the Sundowner Edition a smart bundled package for highway riders.
Why the Meteor 350 Sundowner Edition Will Appeal to Indian Riders
The Indian touring culture is booming — and the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Sundowner Edition aligns perfectly with that trend. Riders who want a ready-to-tour bike straight from the showroom — without aftermarket upgrades — will appreciate:
✔ Better highway comfort
✔ Lower fatigue on long rides
✔ No accessory fitment worries
✔ Premium factory finish and warranty compliance
It is also ideal for first-time touring motorcycle buyers who want a relaxed, refined and stylish cruiser without the premium price of larger RE bikes.
Who Should Buy the Sundowner Edition?
You should consider this new variant if you:
-
Take frequent highway rides
-
Ride with a pillion often
-
Prefer factory-fitted accessories over aftermarket additions
-
Want a premium-looking cruiser without jumping to the 650cc segment
If most of your riding is inside the city and not on highways, the Fireball or Stellar variants may still offer better value.
Final Verdict
The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Sundowner Edition adds meaningful touring upgrades at a well-justified price point. It enhances comfort, practicality and style without altering the beloved Meteor cruising essence. For the growing community of touring riders across India, this launch feels like a thoughtful and timely move from Royal Enfield.
