There’s something about a Royal Enfield that just speaks to the heart. I’ve seen bikers pause mid-ride to admire one, and I’ve felt that little rush when a new variant is unveiled. This time, the Hunter 350 is stealing glances again—not with a louder exhaust note or a radical redesign, but with a color that’s subtle, modern, and downright irresistible: the Graphite Grey.
The New Color That Turns Heads
Royal Enfield has introduced the Graphite Grey shade as the first-ever matte finish option for the Hunter 350, and it’s a beauty to look at. It’s got this understated elegance that feels effortlessly cool, almost like that biker who doesn’t have to try hard to look stylish. What makes it pop, though, are those neon yellow accents on the alloy wheels – inspired by street graffiti art – adding just the right dose of youthful energy.
I’ve seen bikes where matte shades look too flat, but here, the finish plays perfectly with the Hunter’s muscular tank lines and compact form. The black mudguards and headlight cowl remain, keeping that rugged touch intact.
Features That Keep the Ride Modern
Looks aside, Royal Enfield hasn’t forgotten to keep the Hunter 350 updated. The Graphite Grey variant gets all the functional upgrades introduced earlier this year – from the LED headlamp that lights up the road like a dream to the tripper pod that guides you turn-by-turn without a fuss. There’s also a USB Type-C charging port, because let’s be honest, who isn’t riding with a phone these days?
One thing I personally appreciate is the increased ground clearance – up by 10 mm—which means fewer heart-in-the-mouth moments over speed breakers. The rear twin shock absorbers are more progressive now, making the ride more forgiving on bumpy patches.
Engine That’s Built for the City and Beyond
Under the tank, the Hunter 350 Graphite Grey carries Royal Enfield’s trusted 349cc, air/oil-cooled J-series engine. It’s the same motor we know – 20.2 bhp of peak power and 27 Nm of torque—paired with a 5-speed gearbox. The slip and assist clutch makes gear shifts smoother, especially in city traffic, while still giving that solid pull on open roads.
If you’ve ridden it before, you know it’s not about hitting crazy top speeds—it’s about that steady, thumping rhythm that makes you want to take the long way home.
Price and Availability in India
The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Graphite Grey is priced at ₹1,76,750 (ex-showroom), slotting neatly in the mid variant alongside Rio White and Dapper Grey. Bookings are open at Royal Enfield dealerships across India, through the Royal Enfield App, and on the official website.
With seven colour options now on offer, the Hunter 350 gives you plenty of ways to match your ride to your personality – but honestly, this Graphite Grey feels like the one that’ll age the best, still turning heads years from now.
