Royal Enfield Thunderbird
Royal Enfield's Thunderbird was the brand's first foray into the cruiser category — a long-wheelbase, low-seat design with a relaxed riding position built around the 350 cc unit construction engine. It appealed to a new generation of Indian riders seeking an alternative to Japanese cruiser styling.
