Just a day before launch, the brochures of the Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350X and 500X have been leaked online. Thanks to it, we now have a better idea of what to expect from the Chennai-based manufacturer tomorrow.
The brochure suggests that both the motorcycles in the Thunderbird range will feature changes like a shorter handlebar, LED DRLs, LED taillamps and single-piece saddles. The bikes will also feature 9-spoke alloy wheels shod with tubeless tyres (first for any Royal Enfield bike). In addition to all this, the bikes will feature a blacked-out exhaust muffler, fork tubes and centre panel, instead of chrome found on the standard bike.
Mechanically, both the motorcycles will continue using their existing powerplants. The Thunderbird 350X will continue to be powered by a 346cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine which makes 20PS of power and 28Nm of torque, while the Thunderbird 500X will feature the same 499cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine which produces 27.5PS of power and 41.3Nm of torque. Transmission duties will be handled by a 5-speed gearbox on both Thunderbird models.
Underpinnings will also remain unchanged. Suspension duties on the Thunderbird models will be handled by 41mm telescopic forks at the front and twin gas-charged shock absorber at the rear. Braking will also be done by the same setup of the stock bikes- 280mm disc at the front and a 240mm disc at the back.
You will get to choose between a total of four colours, which includes orange, blue, white and red. We are expecting a minor price bump of around Rs 10,000 over the existing models. Currently, the Thunderbird 350 is priced at Rs 1.49 lakh, while the Thunderbird 500 is priced at Rs 1.90 lakh (all prices ex-showroom Delhi).

Royal Enfield Meteor 350 (2020-2025) User Reviews
In term of riding the bike really good I've had many great riding experiences with it. The performance is excellent and fuel tank capacity is also good. So there's no worry on long rides. The service network is available in many places so that's not a concern either. Maintenance costs are also quite reasonable. Read More
Among all two-wheelers, the Royal Enfield Meteor offers the most comfortable ride, and its maintenance cost is also the lowest. It's a 350cc bike, yet it still delivers a mileage of 30–35 km/l on the road. For those who are passionate about two-wheeler riding, the best bike is the Royal Enfield Meteor.Read More

Dream bike for a middle class family, I purchased it in june 2021 with all my savings while working. It cost me 2.40 lacs in cash as I have ordered Glossy black which is non standard colour so I have to pay extra for it. Talking about my 4.5 years of experience with this bike so the max i go with it is 800 km (up+down) to Mussoorie UK. I like it.Read More
