Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350X, 500X with ABS spotted

Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350X and 500X equipped with ABS have started reaching dealerships. According to a media report, the 350X ABS is priced at Rs. 1.62 lakh, while the 500X ABS costs Rs. 2.13 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

The Thunderbird 350X and 500X were launched in February 2018. At launch, both bikes were offered with front and rear disc brakes but neither of them got ABS. The updated models also get an ABS logo on the front forks. Reports suggest that dual-channel ABS will now be available on both models. 

Apart from the addition of ABS, no other mechanical changes are expected. Powering the 350X is a 346cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that produces 19.8 BHP @ 5,250 rpm and 28 Nm of torque @ 4,000 rpm. The 500X is powered by a 499 cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine with electronic fuel injection that makes 27.2 BHP @ 5,250 rpm and 41.3 Nm @ 4,000 rpm. Both bikes come equipped with a 5-speed gearbox.
