The much-awaited Royal Enfield Hunter 350 has been finally launched in three variants – Retro, Metro and Metro Rebel with prices starting from Rs 1,49,900 (ex-showroom). Here’s a close-up look of all the differences between the three variants:
The base Retro variant is exclusive to the Indian market and sports wire-spoked rims with tubed tyres. The 100/80 - 17 and 120/80 -17 tyres are slimmer than the ones seen on the Metro and the Metro Rebel variants which come with 110/70-section and 140/80-section tubeless units wrapped around 17-inch alloy wheels.
Furthermore, while the entry-level Retro variant features a drum brake at the rear and single-channel ABS, the other two variants have dual-channel ABS.
The base variant of the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 gets a simpler semi-digital instrument console with a smaller LCD inset compared to the one seen on the ‘Metro’ and ‘Metro Rebel’ variants. For the top variant, Royal Enfield is also offering the Tripper navigation assist as an optional extra.
Royal Enfield has equipped the base variant with a different set of switchgear which has been borrowed from its older models. But, the Metro and Metro Rebel variants feature the same, but old school, rotary dials that we have seen on the new Classic 350 and Meteor 350.
The most obvious change here between the base variant and the other two variants are the different indicators. For the base model, Enfield seems to have used the units from the Himalayan. Then there are some differences in the headlight and taillight as well.
The headlight on the base model doesn’t get a pilot lamp, unlike the one on the mid and top models. And, while the Metro and the Metro Rebel use a LED taillight, the base variant gets a halogen unit.
Royal Enfield has used a ribbed seat for its top two variants, whereas the base model features a simpler design for the saddle.

- royal enfield hunter 350 my reviewIt's a really good bike to ride in the city. Really good torque and also has amazing exhaust. Note even with stock however the rear suspension is a bit hard. Not a bad bike at all if you are looking for daily commuting along with a good amount of power. Eyecatching and people have even stopped me to ask about the bike and overall the bike is really good.Read More10 19

- Royal enfield the build machineMy first preference is short height bike because it's easy to handle it plus maintenance was so reliable. As per compare to the other with the same segment Hunter is far better then others. I really love to ride royal enfield bikes. For the city riding you love it like handling was very amazing plus throttle response is very amazing. For the lobby route you can adjust your seat or add some cusion over the seat or buy the new seat. For the city purpose you can buy this bike only. As I have a classic 350 and metor. l really like to ride hunter only because that machine is more powerfull as compared to other RE machine like the engine sound and silencer sound without changing any parts it shows the old version one.Read More26 7
