Interestingly, the description along with alloy wheel listing says it is meant for ABS models only. Royal Thunderbird X series is not offered with ABS and hence the description does not make sense. It is a typo or Royal Enfield has plans to update the Thunderbird 350X and 500X with ABS soon?
Royal Enfield Thunderbird X
The eye-catching colours are the USP of Thunderbird X series that perfectly contrasts against the blacked out cycle parts. There are four colours on offer - Getaway Orange and Drifter Blue on the 500X, and Whimsical White and Roving Red on the 350X.
Royal Enfield has also worked on the ergonomics to make the Thunderbird X more user-friendly for urban riders. These include new flat handlebar, single piece seat unit and an integrated grab-rail. The motorcycle gets digital-analogue twin-pod instrument cluster. The black colour treatment is applied to the silencer, front forks, side covers, headlamp cover and indicators as well.
