Royal Enfield has launched a new avatar of its the Thunderbird X. The new version is available in both 350cc and 500cc variants, priced at Rs 1.57 lakh and Rs 1.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) respectively, and will be sold alongside that standard Thunderbird. The new variant has some visual changes starting with the new vibrant colour options including red and white for the Thunderbird 350X while blue and orange for the 500X. The lower body of both the variants has been finished in matte black along with the front forks, headlamp and indicator covers, and the rear grab rail.
The new version is focused on urban cruising so a few design changes have been accommodated to provide the bike with better street handling capabilities. The bike also comes with round headlamp with LED daytime running light and the large fuel tank remains unchanged, the Thunderbird X receives a new seat which is not in the split pattern like the standard version. A new flat handlebar has been dropped to give a committed riding stance for the streets and the urban cruiser also gets a sporty rear grab-rail.
