    RE Thunderbird 350x and 500x ready for launch in 2018?

    As per few sources (Overdrive & Autocar) it seems Royal Enfield will launch two new variants of its popular Thunderbird, the 350X and 500X in India by Jan 2018 or so.

    The new black scheme and alloy wheels (hopefully Tubeless as well) look smart, I just hope they launch smarter colours in this. Even Desert Storm colour will look great here. Looking forward to actual launch date announcement soon.

        Along with the colour schemes, I hope they launch the bikes better quality parts which hopefully helps the rider not to run to SC every other day.

          Re: RE Thunderbird 350x and 500x ready for launch in 2018?

          I visited to RE showroom here in my city yesterday to ask about these new launches, however salesman there told me that it is a hoax and these bikes are likely to be modified bikes. Not sure if I should trust him or ignore him as an uninformed dealer (which is not at all rare) - we need to wait for official announcement from RE.

          I am hoping it is true. It is hight time RE used tubeless and alloys for Thunderbird, better city handling due to changed handlebar is welcome as well. I don't like colour combinations though, dessert storm colour would look awesome with new black treatment. Hope RE listens...

            But then how will customers enjoy the authentically retro "charm" and "character" of a Royal Enfield bike?

            (Seriously, this is what even senior Royal Enfield people say when you point out their dodgy / non-existent quality control, I'm not even joking)

              RE Thunderbird 350x and 500x launching on 22 Feb 2018

              Finally, it is official. Thunderbird launching "X" models on 22nd Feb 2018. So what I was told 4 weeks ago at the RE showroom doesn't seem to be true, once again proving that they are not reliable sources of information.

                Royal Enfield is live telecasting this launch event on FB now interesting to see the prices they announce for these 'X' models. A dealer here also informed me that they would be available to see in the showroom by today evening. I like that - launch with immediate availability.
