Royal Enfield has finally announced the launch date for its much-anticipated Thunderbird X models, which now set to go on sale in India on February 28.
The new custom-inspired Thunderbird X models will be available in both 350 cc and 500 cc options and come with new styling, paint scheme and a few new features, but there are no changes to the power plant.
A lot of features are first-of-its-kind on a Royal Enfield like – new matte black alloy wheels instead of wire-spoked wheels, tubeless tyres, and a matte black silencer.
The bikes also come with a new handlebar, black casing for the projector headlamps and LED taillamps and a new one-piece seat instead of the split seats from the standard Thunderbird.
The bikes come with a dual tone paint scheme, somewhat similar to the Classic 350 Redditch Edition. While the majority of the bikes’ body get an all-black treatment, the fuel tank has been painted in contrast vibrant colour, with some matching styling elements like the reflector strips on the wheels
