The five-speed gearbox is in place for handling the transmission duties. Under the skin, the Thunderbird 350X gets the same motor as the stock one, single-cylinder, 4-stroke, air-cooled 346cc engine that’s capable of churning out a max power of 19.8PS at 5,250rpm and 28Nm of peak torque at 4,000rpm. The twin-pod setup on the semi-digital console is garnished in chrome that looks pleasing to eyes. The components like headlamp (with LED DRLs), exhaust, engine, instrument cluster, alloys and forks at the front get the blacked-out look which is far too irresistible for petrol heads out there. The bike sports a single-seat unit as opposed to the split seat configuration on the stock Thunderbird models. This is the first time that Royal Enfield bikes come fitted with tubeless tyres. The steel rims have been ditched for the new stylish-looking 9-spoke black alloy wheels with tubeless tyres (90/90 R19 at front and 120/80 R18 at rear). The wide handlebars as seen on the standard Thunderbird have been replaced by a more compact unit. Aesthetics of the bike has been improved in order to attract the younger section of the audience. The Royal Enfield Thunderbird X 350 is now up for grab in the Indian market at a price of Rs 1.56 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) which makes it pricier than the standard Thunderbird 350 model by around Rs 6,000.
