Design
Starting with the basics, the Meteor 350 still looks every bit the laid-back cruiser it has always been. But when you look a little closer, you'll notice the differences. The 2025 update brings seven paint schemes: Fireball Orange & Fireball Grey, Stellar Matt Grey & Stellar Marine Blue, Aurora Retro Green & Aurora Red and Supernova Black, along with a darker alloy wheel finish. This gives the bike a modern appeal, leaving behind the retro chrome styling. Subtle tweaks in the graphics and detailing add a sense of freshness without taking away the familiar Meteor identity.
Features
The 2025 Meteor 350 is noticeably better equipped across the board. The LED headlamp and the Tripper navigation pod are now standard on every variant. Additionally, it gets LED indicators, a USB Type-C port, and an assist & slipper clutch, and the ride gets easier, especially in traffic. The premium trims like Aurora and Supernova go further, offering adjustable brake and clutch levers for a more tailored, comfortable feel. While the earlier model wasn't exactly offering features like the Tripper pod, USB charging, analog Plus LCD instrument cluster were there the new additions enhance daily usability, quicker charging, and rider convenience.
Powertrain
At the heart, the Meteor 350 remains the same, powered by the reliable 349cc, single cylinder, J series engine, which belts out 20.2 PS and 27 Nm of torque. Moreover, it comes paired with a 5-speed gearbox and remains true to its cruiser DNA.
Pricing
The earlier model was available in three trims: Fireball, Stellar and Supernova, which came at a starting price of Rs 2.05 lakh (ex-showroom). Meanwhile, the 2025 Meteor 350 is available in four trims: Fireball, Stellar, Aurora and Supernova, which is available at a starting price of Rs 1.95 lakh (ex-showroom) and goes up to Rs 2.15 lakh (ex-showroom) for the top trim.
