New Dual-Tone Sundowner Orange Paintwork & Visual Changes
The Sundowner Edition of the RE Meteor 350 stands out with a fresh dual-tone orange-and-cream finish, giving the cruiser a more vibrant and distinctive look compared to the standard palette. Royal Enfield has leaned into classic retro elements with generous chrome accents and a colour theme designed to evoke long sunset rides, an aesthetic the brand hasn't tapped into with past Meteor variants.
The model also debuts tubeless-compatible cross-spoke wheels, something not offered on any other Meteor trim. These allow riders to retain the traditional spoke-rim look while enjoying the convenience of tubeless tyres, a notable improvement for touring and highway use.
Factory-Fitted Touring Kit Now Standard
Unlike other variants where accessories must be added separately, the Sundowner Edition comes equipped out of the box with features tailored for long-distance travel. The package includes a tall windscreen to reduce wind buffeting at higher speeds, a more supportive Deluxe Touring Seat, a pillion backrest, adjustable levers, LED lighting, and Royal Enfield's Tripper navigation pod for turn-by-turn guidance. A USB Type-C charging port comes standard as well, making the bike more practical for riders who rely on smartphones for navigation.

Engine & Hardware Remain Unchanged
Royal Enfield has retained the proven 349cc, single-cylinder J-series engine producing 20.2 hp and 27 Nm, paired with a 5-speed gearbox and slip-and-assist clutch. The chassis and suspension setup continues unchanged, using a dual-cradle frame, telescopic front forks, and twin rear shocks. The core riding triangle remains relaxed and upright, reinforcing the Meteor's identity as a highway-friendly cruiser rather than a performance-focused machine.
With the Sundowner Edition now sitting at the top of the Meteor range, the lineup spans from Rs. 1.95 lakh to Rs. 2.19 lakh (ex-showroom), depending on the trim, positioned as a more complete touring package rather than just a cosmetic edition.
Verdict
The Meteor 350 Sundowner Edition isn't a mechanical overhaul, but it adds thoughtful, practical upgrades aimed squarely at touring enthusiasts. The new colour scheme injects much-needed freshness into the lineup, while the factory-fitted touring gear and tubeless wire-spokes make it a more compelling option for highway riders straight from the showroom floor. If Royal Enfield wanted to give the Meteor wider appeal without changing its core formula, the Sundowner Edition lands right on target.
