Positioned in the classic motorcycle category, the Thunderbird 350 stands out with its iconic design and rugged charm. Designed for the riders who appreciate both nostalgia and adventure, this bike is a perfect companion for long rides and urban commuting alike. With its unmistakable silhouette and attention to detail, it pays homage to the rich heritage of Royal Enfield while catering to the contemporary rider's needs. At the heart of the Thunderbird 350 lies a robust 346 cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that churns out a solid 19.8 HP at 5250 RPM and a torque of 28 Nm at 4000 RPM. This powertrain, combined with a 5-speed gearbox, delivers smooth acceleration and a top speed of 120 km/h (74.6 mph), providing an exhilarating ride on both open highways and winding roads. The air-cooled engine with a compression ratio of 7.3:1 is designed for longevity, while the CV carburettor ensures reliable fuel delivery.

The Thunderbird 350 is not just about power; it’s packed with features that enhance the riding experience. With a fuel capacity of 20 liters (5.28 gallons), long-distance journeys become a breeze, while the electric and kick starter options add versatility. The bike is available in striking color options like Flicker, Marine, and Stone, appealing to a variety of personal styles. Safety is paramount, with a dual-disc braking system—280 mm at the front and 240 mm at the rear—ensuring confident stops under any riding conditions.
