Royal
Enfield recently revealed Thunderbird 350X and 500X which is based on regular
Thunderbird models. The X model basically offers more customization options
along with a modern design. Most of the Royal Enfield customers prefer their
bikes to be customized compared to stock models which is why the company is
offering lots of official accessories for the customers.
The long list of accessories
include windshield kit, windshield embellisher kit, engine guard, oil filler
gap, brake reservoir lid, passenger back rest and more. The most expensive
accessory is wheel alloy cast which is priced at Rs. 9500 and it will take 105
minutes for the mechanic to fit it and the least expensive kit is brake
reservoir lid at Rs. 800.
Apart
from these accessories, Royal Enfield is also offering lots of merchandise like
T-Shirt, helmets, bandana, boots and riding jacket and so many other things.
Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350X is powered by 346 cc single cylinder engine
producing 19.8 bhp of power and 28 Nm of torque. This engine is mated to 5
speed gearbox. The Thunderbird 500X is powered by 499 cc single cylinder fuel
injected engine producing 27.2 bhp of power and 41.3 Nm of torque. This engine
is also mated to 5 speed gearbox. Even though aesthetically both these models
are completely different from the base Thunderbird models, the suspension and
chassis is same.
Royal
Enfield hasn’t made any mechanical changes for the X models and the engine
tunning is same as the regular models. The Thunderbird 350X and 500X get new
alloy wheels, new tyres, flat handlebar, short rear fenders and new grab rails
which gives these bikes a fresh feel and it will attract more youngsters to the
brand. But we were expecting Royal Enfield to make some mechanical changes also
as the ride quality and handling is not upto the level of its competitors. The
Indian manufacturer is planning to introduce Continental GT 650 and Interceptor
650 by the end of this year in India with all new 650 cc engine.
