2018 Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350X and Thunderbird 500X versions were finally launched in India today. These are basically the custom versions of the regular Thunderbird, and thus have received several cosmetic changes. Besides two new colours on each version - Red & white for the 350X and Yellow & Blue for 500X, black treatment across the body, new 9-spoke alloy wheels make both stand out from their regular counterparts. Also, these two have become the first Royal Enfield motorcycles to receive tubeless tyres. Also, front & rear disc brakes are standard on these though ABS is still missing. While there are some significant design changes, engines still remain the same. This means the 350X still has the same 346cc engine and the Thunderbird 500X features the 499cc engine. Coming to the price, while the Thunderbird 350X has gone on sale at Rs 1.56 lakh, the Thunderbird 500X costs Rs 1.98 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) thus making these custom versions around Rs 6,000 - Rs 7,000 pricier than their regular models.
