Put a little bit of yourself out there

Thunderbird X 500

We’ve all been taken by the Royal Enfield Thunderbird’s innate individuality. So with the X, an urban-geared rendition of the machine, we chose to play up this very quality - its distinctiveness. The result is probably the kind of Thunderbird you’d want to have ended up with at the end of your custom modification. Purposed for our cities, towns and beyond.

Comfortable stance

Newly positioned handlebars let you set in and be braced for anything the road chucks at you.

Urban styling

Stand-out shades. Our finishing touch to a rousing new all-black paint scheme. Both do bold things to the X’s kerbside appeal.

Uninterrupted riding

This is the first Royal Enfield equipped with tubeless tires and sturdy alloys. Everyday rides or fun neighborhood runs, you’re sorted.

Easy handling

Take in every nook, bend, corner or any challenge that springs up, effortlessly.

Innate dependability

Takes after the time tested reliability and strength of the legendary Thunderbird machines.
