Overview

Introducing the 2015 Enfield Thunderbird 350, a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of classic cruising while delivering modern reliability and comfort. Positioned in the heart of the classic motorcycle market, the Thunderbird 350 appeals to enthusiasts who cherish the retro aesthetic combined with the joys of contemporary engineering. With its iconic design and robust build quality, this bike is perfect for those who enjoy long rides, whether it’s a leisurely weekend jaunt or a daily commute through the urban jungle. At the heart of the Thunderbird 350 lies a potent 346cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, delivering a respectable 19.8 horsepower at 5600 RPM and 28 Nm of torque at 4000 RPM. This pairing provides a delightful blend of power and control, making city riding and country cruising equally enjoyable. With a top speed of 120 km/h (74.6 mph), riders can confidently tackle highways while the five-speed gearbox ensures smooth transitions between gears. The air-cooled engine, coupled with a wet multiplate clutch, offers a reliable performance profile that embodies the essence of Royal Enfield’s storied heritage. The Thunderbird 350 stands out not only for its performance but also for its thoughtful features and technology. The bike showcases a single downtube frame that uses the engine as a stressed member, enhancing stability and handling. Its front telescopic suspension with hydraulic damping provides a plush ride over uneven surfaces, while the rear swingarm with gas shock absorbers ensures comfort over longer journeys. Safety is paramount, with a robust braking system featuring a single disc at the front and rear, complemented by a two-piston caliper that delivers reliable stopping power. Plus, with a generous fuel capacity of 20 liters (5.28 gallons), riders can cover significant distances without frequent stops. **
