Royal Enfield Thunderbird 500 X Overview

The new Royal Enfield Thunderbird 500X looks vibrant and modern yet very classy bike. The bright colored fuel tank complements the otherwise dominating black color which is spread out all across the bike. The alloy wheels come with fuel tank color paint stripping which gives the bike a classic touch.

The exhaust pipe is also black colored and gels with the bobber styled short rear fender. The seat of the new Thunderbird 500X is changed to a single unit opposite to the dual split seats featured on the regular Thunderbird motorcycles. There are black colored grab rails present on the bike nicely tucked in between the rear fender and seat. The Thunderbird 500X also comes featured with a little short handlebar for better ergonomics. The bike comes in two color options- Getaway Orange and Drifter Blue. The RE Thunderbird 500 with all black theme was launched in 2013 by Royal Enfield India. The bike even had the 500cc UCE engine blacked out which was a novelty for that time. The Thunderbird 500 was having split seat with removable rear seat which is very helpful to carry extra luggage while touring. Both front and rear wheel comes with disc brakes. The Thunderbird 500 comes with projector headlamp for bright and precise light in the night journey. Priced at Rs. 1,57,300 (ex-showroom, Delhi) when launched.

Extended Warranty On Royal Enfield Motorcycles? Are They Finally Getting Any Better In Quality?

Jan 31, 2015
Recently it took me to surprise when I came to know that the iconic brand Royal Enfield has offered an option of extended warranty of 2 years or 70000 Kms to their prospective customers. In a World of modern technology where the manufactures have more commend on the quality control system and are having confidence in their products, Royal Enfield is still offering one year standard warranty, shows the lack of confidence in their own creation.
