Niche bike maker Royal Enfield today launched a new range of its popular model Thunderbird — Thunderbird 500X and Thunderbird 350X — priced at Rs 1,98,878 and Rs 1,56,849 (ex-showroom Delhi), respectively.<\/p>\n
Powered by a single cylinder, air cooled 499 cc engine, the Thunderbird 500X generates 41.3 Nm torque at 4000 rpm.<\/p>\n
Thunderbird 350X, on the other hand, comes with a single cylinder, air cooled, twinspark, 346cc engine which generates a maximum torque of 28 Nm at 4000 rpm.<\/p>\n
“The key selling point is that these are thunderbirds with a custom inspired look as a lot of people buy thunderbird and further customise it. We have now given an already customised bike to a certain level,” Royal Enfield President Rudratej Singh told PTI.<\/p>\n
He further said, the whole objective is to inject fresh thinking into the thunderbird range which has become a definite choice for some section of people.<\/p>\n
The two-wheeler division of Eicher Motors had launched Thunderbird in 2002 popularly known as highway cruiser and the new launches are factory-built customised bikes with a blacked out theme.<\/p>\n
“Specifically, we have a target with regard to how many test rides we give and how many people visit our stores for thunderbird,” Singh said.<\/p>\n
With regard to exports, he said the focus first will be in India and then these bikes will be made available wherever thunderbird is present across the world.<\/p>\n
“First we’ll make sure our distribution reach in India is full but very soon in a few months we will be splitting into places where thunderbird in other markets is available,” he said.<\/p>\n
Bookings have been opened from today at Royal Enfield stores across major cities.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
