So, it still has a light throttle, the gear shifts are reasonably precise, and it still feels happiest when ridden between 2,000-3,500rpm. The new Thunderbird X is almost identical to ride as the regular Thunderbird, which isn't a surprise given that it's the same mechanically. Bikes like the KTM 250 Duke and TVS Apache RR310 are priced similarly, although their target audience is a very different one. The Royal Enfield Thunderbird 500X competes with the likes of the Bajaj Dominar 400 ABS and UM Renegade Sports S directly. The pricing of the Tbird 500X makes it the most expensive single-cylinder Royal Enfield on sale today. The pillion backrest has also been left out. The rider’s seat is wider, and the pillion seat is smaller. The seat of the Thunderbird 500X has been changed – it is a more modern-looking one.
There are disc brakes at both ends, with a 280mm front disc and a 240mm rear one. The wheels are a 19-inch front and an 18-inch rear. It generates 27.2bhp and 41Nm and transmits it via a five-speed gearbox. It gets the same 499cc fuel-injected single-cylinder air-cooled engine from the Thunderbird 500. This is the first time a Royal Enfield has been shipped with alloy wheels and tubeless tyres from the factory. It gets all-black treatment, which extends to the alloy wheels. The handlebar is a flatter, wider one, which helps with manoeuverability in the city. The 500X is available in light blue or bright orange.
One, it is available in bright, single-tone colours in the same vein as the Classic Redditch series. It gets a driveline similar to the regular Thunderbird 500, but there are a few changes. Royal Enfield saw a need in the market for an urban cruiser, and this is the result: the Thunderbird 500X.
