The recent GST 2.0 implementation has resulted in several price revisions. Bikes with engine capacities below 350cc have received a 10 percent tax cut, whereas those above 350cc have witnessed a tax hike. In this comparison, we’ve considered two rivals that fall on either side of this divide while competing closely in sales – the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and the Triumph Speed 400. Both models can serve as a rider’s first motorcycle or a step up into the higher-displacement segment. Here’s how their prices have changed and how they stack up against each other following the GST 2.0 rollout.
Royal Enfield Hunter 350 price after GST
The prices for the Hunter range have fallen by Rs 12,000 to Rs 15,000
The 2025 iteration of the Hunter 350 was launched earlier this year at a price ranging from Rs 1.50 lakh to Rs 1.82 lakh. With the recent GST cut, Royal Enfield has decided to pass on the entire benefit to customers. The Hunter is now priced between Rs 1.38 lakh and Rs 1.67 lakh, effectively offering a benefit of Rs 12,000 to Rs 15,000.
Earlier this year, the Hunter 350 received updates including an LED headlight, revised rear suspension, and a slipper clutch. It continues to be powered by a 349cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine producing 20.4hp and 27Nm, paired with a 5-speed gearbox.
Triumph Speed T4 price after GST
The Speed T4 is now priced at Rs 1.93 lakh
The Speed T4 features a larger-displacement engine than the Hunter, placing it in the 350cc-and-above price bracket. Earlier, the T4 was priced between Rs 1.99 lakh and Rs 2.07 lakh. However, Bajaj has chosen to absorb the tax hike and, in addition, has further reduced the T4’s price to Rs 1.93 lakh.
The Speed T4 shares its platform with the Speed 400 but employs more cost-effective components to keep prices in check. It runs on bias-ply tyres instead of the Speed 400’s radial units and misses out on traction control. Furthermore, the USD fork has been replaced with conventional telescopic forks. Powering the motorcycle is the same 399cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine as the Speed 400, albeit in a lower state of tune, producing 31hp and 36Nm.
Royal Enfield Hunter 350 vs Triumph Speed T4 price comparison
The Hunter 350 starts Rs 55,000 lower than the Speed T4.
The Triumph Speed T4 continues to command a higher price than the Hunter 350. However, it is worth noting that the T4 is powered by a larger engine and features sophisticated liquid-cooling technology. At current prices, the top-end Hunter 350 is Rs 26,000 more affordable, and this gap widens to Rs 55,000 when compared with the base Hunter 350. That said, the base variant offers very few features and even misses out on alloy wheels and tubeless tyres.
