Royal Enfield saw a need in the market for an urban cruiser, and this is the result: the Thunderbird 350X. It gets a similar driveline as the regular Thunderbird 350, but there are a few changes. One, it is available in bright, single-tone colours in the same vein as the Classic Redditch series. The 350X is available in red or white. The handlebar is a flatter, wider one, which should help with manoeuverability in the city. It gets all-black treatment, which extends to the alloy wheels. This is the first time a Royal Enfield has been shipped with alloy wheels and tubeless tyres from the factory. It gets the same 346cc carburetted single-cylinder air-cooled engine from the Thunderbird 350. It generates 19.8bhp and 28Nm and transmits it via a five-speed gearbox. The wheels are a 19-inch front and an 18-inch rear. There are disc brakes at both ends, with a 280mm front disc and a 240mm rear one. ABS is now an option that makes the 350X Rs 6000 dearer. The seat of the Thunderbird 350X has been changed – it is a more modern-looking one. The rider’s seat is wider, and the pillion seat is smaller.
The Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350X competes with the likes of the Bajaj Dominar 400 directly. Bikes like the Yamaha Fazer 25 also cater to a similar audience, although it is a different format of motorcycle.
The average of the Thunderbird 350X is 35 kmpl, as per the owners of the bike.

Powerful machine with worst quality

Riding experience is good, comfort for long rides. But pillion ride comfort is a nightmare, small seat not comfort for pillion rider and is very danger because it doesn't have any support for the pillion rider. Looks are good and stylish, red color is quite attractive.. Sometimes vibrations makes your hand painful.. Service maintenance makes your pocket empty :1. Every six months you have to change clamp of your odometer.. 2. Once meter console stopped, and it requires around 10k to change it.3.Chain is getting loosen even if we lubricate for every 2weeks.. 4.Rust is the main issue, even there is sound from the silencer, because of the rusted shells inside the silencer. Build quality is very poor. 5. Nowadays petrol overflow through carburetor is a common issue, even servicemen don't know how to handle those issues 6. Highway mileage is impressive (above 40kpl) while mileage for city ride is around 20-25 km/l7. Better to avoid services from authorized dealers, they are looting us by charging unwanted things, better to consult local repairing workshops which are familiar to us...

Bike that stands out of the crowd
2 years ago
Jathin
My buying experience was great. I have ridden 25000kms in 2-2½ years and it is running smoothly. The only thing is that it should serviced periodically and maintain it properly. Braking is great and dual channel abs works brilliant. Performance could be better but the torque is at par, 125-130 is the top speed. It is a capable long distance cruiser bike. Can cruise at 80kmph without much vibration and it is absolutely stable. Feature rich when compared the classic 350. Riding feel is something different, very mature and that royal enfield feel for which most of the royal enfield owner buy them.This bike has a great road presence, everyone Turns their heads and see the bike, like it's a rare sports bike. Looks of this bike stands out of the crowd. Especially i own the red colored one which looks like a beast. It looks like a sporty bikeServicing is good but costumer service could be better. Every paid service costs approx.Rs2250Lights are excellent. Front lights, indicators, instrument cluster illumination, rear led light- look very good. Light spread is good.It is a heavy bike (200kg). But extremely stable at 90kmph above that there is vibration from the engine. Rides like it owns the road. Riding feel is very impressive. Comfortable for long distance ridingPros- looks, features, safety, capable cruiser, comfortable, lights are brilliant.Cons- could have more top speed and more punch after 105kmph according the price and 350cc

1) Buying experience : ultimate - bought from Velavan motors, porur chennai - Most loved delivery with songs, pops and enjoyed a lot. 2) service - average - (service center in tambaram and sivakasi) for this I reduce 1 star. 3) looks performance - every one on the road see me while riding - performance- am a type of person who cruises at 80kmph - Till date I dont feel any power loss - body pain anything king of 80 kmph cruiser. 4) riding experience - chennai to sivakasi multiple times I travel on this bike - Experience sitting on sofa and enjoyed scenaries. 5) pros - seat, handle bar position, stablility, torque. Cons - mileage, service cost, small back seat, quality less spare, no proper wiring works.

The worst bike I have used in my life, I started with a yamaha rxg 1999-2014 moved to tvs-fiero then tbts .Royal Enfield is the worst manufacturer of the 3, with constant failures, and replacement of parts.I am from a mech background and can understand the grade of steel hardness etc. Royal Enfield is the worst quality part in terms of material. Be it chassis engine electricals forks/shocks every department.I don't know how many times the center stand has been welded. Changed wiring harness once battery once in 3 yrs tank once fork seals more than 5 times so its a piece of cheap quality junk parts which works well at the beginning.

Tips for other riders
make quality parts don't compromise in places where it's essential, the choices of grades of steel very import can you believe disc caliper pistons rust, front fork chrome plating peels off, center stand breaks and falls off.

I lover very much interested in this 350X bcoz previously I used Bullet Electra.I have been using this bike last 3 years, regularly facing vibration issues, and the speedometer fuel gauge not working properly Even 2times service attended at the RE service center still has not settled this above-listed problem.So I am not suggesting this bike.
