Enfield's profilation of this bike |
We’ve all been taken by the Royal Enfield Thunderbird’s innate individuality. So with the X, an urban-geared rendition of the machine, we chose to play up this very quality - its distinctiveness. The result is probably the kind of Thunderbird you’d want to have ended up with at the end of your custom modification. Purposed for our cities, towns and beyond.
