With the new 350cc single-cylinder engine Royal EnfieldA new era of refinement came to the concept of the ‘S Stable’ ol’ Classic 350 Thunderbird 350 found a new life as Meteor 350. And if you remember, there used to be a Thunderbird 350X, a variant of the cruiser meant to be sportier with a stripped-down appeal. As per a report by Zigwheels, the Chennai-based manufacturer is now expected to roll out a similar variant for the Meteor 350, and will likely call it the Meteor 350X.
Likely to be launched early next month, the Royal Enfield ‘Meteor 350X’ will come with 18-inch alloy wheels and 17-inch wheels at the rear. It can get a single-piece seat and a flatter handlebar giving a sportier stance. The engine and underpinnings will be blackened for a more dramatic effect and RE will in all likelihood offer brighter color options.
