The Thunderbird 350X is Royal Enfield’s attempt at attracting more urban buyers. While the standard Thunderbird gets oodles of chrome and classic styling, the Thunderbird 350X gets dark undertones to give it a sporty aura. Here is a photo gallery of the new Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350X –
The overall profile of the Thunderbird 350X is similar to the standard bike, but a slew of cosmetic upgrades give the bike a sporty appeal.
The teardrop-shaped fuel tank is finished in loud paint schemes, and can hold 20 litres of fuel. The offset fuel cap is a unique feature of the Thunderbird range.
It is the first Royal Enfield model to feature alloy wheels and tubeless tyres. The rim tapes are colour coordinated with the tank.
The flat handlebars offer a sporty riding stance. The twin-pod instrument cluster gets analogue dials along with a digital display.
The Thunderbird 350X gets a single-piece seat with a contrasting stitch in place of the split seats setup on the regular Thunderbird.
The suspension setup consists of 41mm telescopic front forks and dual gas-charged springs at the rear. The rear suspension can be adjusted for preload.
At the heart of the Thunderbird 350X is a 346cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine, and is mated to a five-speed transmission.
Unlike the 500X, the Thunderbird 350X’s engine gets a carburettor. It delivers 19.8bhp and 28Nm of torque.
The Thunderbird 350X rides on 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels. Brake setup consists of a 280mm front disc and a 240mm rear disc.
