How many variants does the Hunter 350 have?
The Hunter 350 comes in two variants - Retro and Metro. The main difference between the two is that the Retro gets spoke wheels with tube-type tyres, a 153mm rear drum brake with single-channel ABS and a slightly simpler-looking semi-digital single-pod instrument cluster. The Metro, on the other hand, gets alloy wheels with tubeless tyres, a 270mm rear disc brake with dual-channel ABS and a smarter-looking semi-digital single-pod instrument cluster that displays more information such as gear position and a clock. The switchgear on the Retro variant is also more basic while the Metro gets the fancier old-school rotary switches.
Which is the best variant of the Hunter 350 to buy?
We would always recommend you get the Metro variant of the Hunter 350 for the added safety of dual-channel ABS on slippery road conditions and the convenience of tubeless tyres, which are more puncture-resistant and also make puncture repairs easier. Plus, you get many more colour options in the Metro variant.
What are the colour options available for the Hunter 350?

On the Metro variant, the Dapper Orange, Dapper Green, Dapper White and Dapper Grey colours are priced at Rs 1,69,656, while the Rebel Black, Rebel Blue and Rebel Red are priced at Rs 1,74,655 (all prices ex-showroom Chennai).
Our favourite colour option for the Hunter 350:
The Dapper Green on the Metro variant of the Hunter 350 is a particularly good-looking colour as it reminds us of the British Racing Green shade. Our other favourite is Rebel Blue (also on the Metro variant), which looks great thanks to its contrasting white and dark blue paint scheme.
