Crafted in India, the Thunderbird is not just a motorcycle; it's a lifestyle choice for enthusiasts seeking adventure on two wheels. At the heart of the Thunderbird TwinSpark is a robust 346cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a respectable 19.8 horsepower at 5600 RPM and an impressive torque of 28 Nm at 4000 RPM.

Technologically, the Thunderbird TwinSpark stands out with its unique features and thoughtful engineering. The bike is equipped with electric and kick-start options, ensuring that you’re never left stranded. The single downtube frame, which utilizes the engine as a stressed member, contributes to its nimble handling qualities. The front suspension features telescopic forks with hydraulic damping for a smooth ride, while the rear swingarm is paired with gas shock absorbers for added comfort over bumpy terrains. The combination of front disc brakes and a rear drum brake provides a balanced braking system, ensuring the rider can stop confidently and safely. With a fuel capacity of 13.5 liters (3.57 gallons), the Thunderbird is ready for long rides, allowing you to explore the open road without frequent stops. **
