Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 Summary

Although Royal Enfield has been selling the Thunderbird in India since the year 2000, it was only by 2009 that the brand updated the motorcycle comprehensively by introducing the 346 cc unit construction engine (UCE) that now powers all their 350cc models.

In October 2012, Royal Enfield launched a facelifted version of the Thunderbird 350, featuring a teardrop shaped fuel tank, digital instruments and fuel gauge and a projector headlamp. Additionally, the motorcycle gets an LED tail light and a few other cosmetic enhancements.

The Thunderbird 350 uses a single cylinder, 4 stroke, Twinspark engine 19.8 bhp of power at 5,250rpm and 28Nm of torque at 4,000rpm. This air cooled unit is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. It has recently been updated with the option of ABS for a very small premium over the standard model.

The Thunderbird 350 is available in five different colours and competes with the Jawa range, UM range, and to some extent, the Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220.

Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 Review

  • Good Things

    • Comfortable for long rides
    • Good service reach
    • Has a powerful brand image
  • Could be Better

    • 350cc engine has a lot of vibrations
    • Feels heavy to manage
    • Brakes could be better

BikeWale's Take

The Thunderbird 350, like other Royal Enfield bikes, has an impressive low-end torque. Moreover, it is also benefitted by the comfortable ergonomics which make it an ideal tourer. Not to forget the strong identity it holds amongst the riders in India.

      Very good superbike, with amazing features, a riding experience, and service support very good. If you ride for a long drive with just awesome, already took for the long drive from Agra to Jaipur, Jaipur to Delhi so many times, daily good experience, you have to care for this bike because maintenance cost is a little bit more in comparison with others.

      Strong Bike for a Strong Man

      24 weeks ago


      Venkat Reddy

      Owned it for about 7 years, and had many amazing experiences and memories with it. I previously owned a Bajaj Avenger and a Yamaha rx100. After a while, I wanted a stronger and more reliable bike. Only took it to service twice and that too only for minor issues. Other than that, it accelerates very well and sounds like a beast.

      Thunder...Certainly not a bird!

      50 weeks ago


      Girish Dedhe

      Cool to ride. The braking could have been better! puncture of the rear tyre though not frequent is a big headache! skids if brakes are applied urgently. Good for daily commutes as well as long rides. Doesn't heat up too much in traffic. Very comfortable riding position. Not very expensive for maintenance. Overall a good bike to own!

      Thunderbird 350 ownership review

      1 year ago


      Ambuj

      1. Buying experience:- had to wait 1.5 months.. Frustrating
      2. Riding experience:- when I bought it 7 yrs ago, it was clearly a great machine, but as of now, many other bikes are available for long and comfortable cruising
      3. Looks:- look is a subjective thing... Everyone has different tastes. Me, I still love its looks.
      4. Performance and maintenance:- performance is great, but royal enfield demands great care and frequent service and repairs as its company-suggested service interval is every 3000kms or 3 months (whichever is earlier)
      5. Pros:- great tourer, ultimate riding comfort, great mileage (mine is 35-42 in the city and 40-45 on the highway)
      Cons:- needs frequent service and repairs but parts are easily available everywhere, too much vibration when compared to other bikes.

      Change engine oil every 3000 kms, use shell advance synthetic oil instead for Better performance. Clean the chain regularly (Every 400-500kms) for healthy chain sprockets.

      Named thunderbird but its elephant

      It's huge!!!
      If you are huge :) so this is for you.
      It's a great bike for touring and showcasing.
      I don't recommend it for a daily commute and not useful for frequent rides in the city, also you will be frustrated while riding in traffic due to its weight and slow movement of the traffic.
      And keep in mind that it requires regular servicing.

      Maintenance is very costly

      1 year ago


      Lakshmipathi Reddy

      1. Buying experience is good
      2. Riding experience is ok
      3. Bike looks very good, but performance is very bad
      4. This is a very fraud service which gives all authorized royal service centers, simply they will charge this I have checked all most all bangalore service centers, and most frequently I am facing puncture people are not available anywhere, generally other bikes everywhere we can get it ready immediately but for this bike people not even ready to take this bikes for a puncture, and each and every part very costly, we can easily maintain one car for this expenses, so people beware of this royal Enfield bikes.
      5. Above I have mentioned everything
      No good in this vehicle.
