Royal Enfield Thunderbird Twinspark Review

Royal Enfield launched its new bike the Thunderbird Twinspark in 2008. But it was under some serious scrutiny by Bajaj Auto Ltd because of the name and the twin spark technology. Bajaj patents the twin spark technology and it had previously filed a suit against TVS motors for the same reason. But according to Royal Enfield they have not breached the patent copyrights as it holds good for 75 and 250 cc engine bikes whereas the Thunderbird is of a 350 cc version and they plan to incorporate the same technology in their future series of bikes too.

Looks
In terms of design and style the new bike has nothing new to offer, it remains the same as the previous model. There are only few things that add to the bike's 'new look'- two badges are adhered to the side flanks and the twinspark decal on the rear side. The bike's engine is mainly engineered by Royal Enfield and the European design experts have tested the internal combustion and NVH of the engine. The bike on the whole has a macho look and is quite appealing. It has shifted the chain drive to the right, bears new stickers, seat and a rear splashboard. The instrument panel can be easily read even during bright sunlight. The bike also sports new Halogen lamps for longevity and the rear brake wire is move to the right side of the bike.

Thunderbird TwinSpark

Engine
The new Thunderbird has a 350 cc UCE (Unit Construction Engine) that requires minimum manual interference and improves the efficiency of the engine. The engine sticks to the Euro III norms and is made to look compressed and better. But the kick-start lever does not look great. To add power to the engine they have a new trichoidal high flow pump, hydraulic tappets, better-devised clutch and the twinspark technology. The engine reduces the vibrations but remember once you cross 80 kmph it does vibrate. The engine can be easily activated with the automatic decompressor that initiates at 250 rpm. On the inner side of the UCE there is the electric motor to avoid any clutch related problems.

Handling
The new bike has an integrated gearbox that produces only 10% more power and torque compared to the previous Bullets. So, there is not much to rejoice. It generates a maximum power of 20 bhp and the maximum torque is 28Nm. For an instant halt the bike requires 150/280mm brakes. And the fuel efficiency ranges anywhere between 45-50 kmpl. The shifting of the rear brake has become easier. The suspension is not satisfactory; it is slightly stiffer but gets better with a pillion rider. Stability on straight lanes remains good but riding into curves isn't any great. The front tyre seems to skid while breaking that causes some kind of discomfort. The bike is recommended for city riding and for a rare long drive too.

Price
The Royal Enfield Thunderbird Twinspark is available in three colours: Silver, Black and Red and is handsomely priced at Rs 103000.

Popularity Rating of Royal Enfield Thunderbird Twinspark In India

The new Thunderbird Twinspark will not have a mad following like we see for Pulsars or Karizmas but is liked by people who already own a bullet and those who do not have one but have a liking for the brand. You might not see 100s and 1000s of these on roads, but one on road and it is a head turner.

Hi guys,
I have a desire to own a thunderbird, but my height is 5 feet 4 inches, therefore i am a bit hesitant of it. can anyone advice, if i would be able to drive it, my feet would touch ground, when seated. i own a cbz presently.
By Dk on 01-02-2012
The price of TBTS may vary from town to town, city to city. It should be inbetween 1,12,000-1,18,000/-. Fuel efficiency differs from person to person. If a person rides the bike in a normal way then its very likely to provide 38-45kmpl+
By Sudipto Nandi on 06-12-2011
Ajit, congratulations on your purchase of a legend. The engine refinement issue that you are facing will certainly go off with a couple of servicing. Thunderbird Twinspark is not a sports bike, so if someone thinks that on the very first day he will hit 100kmph+ speed then its a very wrong notion. The engine will mature with time and kilometres that you will cover. Till the first servicing is done one must not push the bike beyond 50kmph, if its done then the person is going to face engine vibration problems. After the second servicing is done the bike can be pushed to 60-70kmph. This way one can get rid of engine vibration problems. Its better to change our riding style rather than to blame the company for this and that. Anyways ride safely and nicely, love your TBTS and she will never turn you down. Keep biking!

By Deepak Warade on 04-12-2011
Aamir Shaikh, you have taken a great decision by planning to buy a Royal Enfield Thunderbird Twinspark. The RE TBTS looks great both in black and silver. The black looks glamorous but the silver looks stunning with only the seat in black. However colour dosnt matter all that matters is the quality of the monster! Had i been rich I would have purchased both! Anywys my choice would be silver, but i would also give the black a second thought!
By Sudipto Nandi on 06-12-2011
Royal Enfield Thunderbirb Twinspark will provide 38kmpl(approx.) in city and 45kmpl on the highways.
By Sudipto Nandi on 06-12-2011
Hi friends, very soon I will join the Royal Enfield owners family as I have booked a Royal Enfield Thunderbird Twinspark. From childhood I had been a fan of Royal Enfield motocycles, the thumping sound, chrome, majestic looks, and of course the machoness and glamour of the bike are good enough reasons for anyone to fall in love with Royal Enfield. As far as the Thunderbird Twinspark is concerned its a bike that will instanly attract anyone and everyone on the streets. Royal Enfield has done a great job by introducing this bike in the Indian market, as there isn't any bike that can match its looks and power on Indian streets. Highway cruising, not a big deal for this bike; the extra comfortable seats, passenger backrest, powerful 350cc engine and ofcourse good mileage truly puts this bike apart from other kinds of bikes that are plying on Indian streets currently. Many have different opinions about this bike, but for me its a champion. For a 350cc motorbike, a mileage of 38-45+kmpl is simply great. Bikes that have the latest 200-250cc engines in general dont match Thunderbird's fuel economy. Maintenance may be an issue or this bike but owners of Royal Enfields never think about maintenance costs or buying costs; for example by spending 1,00,000+ one can get a modern fast bike, but a few more thousand rupees will fetch a bike thats not only big and powerful but also a legend. So friend think twice before buying a bike thats costly because for the amount you can get something thats legendary, powerful, big and long lasting motorcycle that will be a prized possession for ages. Royal Enfield rules!

By Shekhar on 10-02-2011
best ride i've had so far. only advise is if buying in pune, DONT. go to mumbai instead, its less hassel than buying it from market yard dealer here. i was promised bike in 2 months and it took excruciating 5 months and hassel with unapologetic dealer who has less commitment and high arrogance (because he knows he's only one dealer in pune, and buyers have nowhere else to go). i'll recommend going to mumbai and transfer registration to ur address here. its less painful to deal with RTO than showroom guys :) believe me. u never get a straigh answer, only u have to commit by paying on time and this commitment is not reciprocated by even intimating you with any delays or price changes, etc

OK - so I want to use my RE around town but I also plan a major trip or two (one to Spiti Valley in Himachal). Advice please: 1. Is 350 cc adequate (even with pillion) or should I really be looking at 500cc 2. Do I need to avoid fuel injection and the like because out in remote areas mechanics won't be able to service if something goes wrong - so better to stick to something like the Machismo?? 3. Which model is really best suited to touring in addition to around town?

one important thing - never ask an advise from anyone if you wish to buy a ROYAL ENFIELD bike,

comments will come like higher price,lesser mileage,oil leakage,
but still no other bike could compete RE.

ITS AN ASSET which you could drive,your off springs could also drive.

I own a Thunderbird and having done around 4.5K Kms in less than 2 months, i would say the bull will beat any other bike. Its simply amazing. Had some minor probs intially. Above 85+ there is vibration, u wont feel it but objects in mirror will be fuzzy. Driven it @ 110+ no problmes, smooth and under control. Did a trip from Banglore to Kanyakumari and back, it is such a pleasure to drive. I am no more able to ride my old bike, Passion Plus, feels like a play kit. One problem i observed is the front tyre skids while applying brake in corners and is a problem from me as i am short. I normally ride @ 85+ and it just stops where u ask for, amazing braking power.

For a previous question, no problem with self start, even on very cold days in bangalore. Once the oil gets heated the bull will roar.

Guys go for it, u will never turn back.

Hi Friends,

My name is Manik and i am a working professional.
I read a number of mixed reviews regarding this bike and was confused at one point of time. Not only reviews, but most of the people i took suggestion from also had some mixed kind of views regarding the bike.

I was thinking to buy this bike for the last couple of years, even before the TBTS was launched. but every time i plan to buy the bike someone changed my mind and my program was delayed.

I even testdrove the bike and even i feel that there a re a number of limitations in the bike, like the kind of vibration it has is annoying.
Also i noticed one thing which i did not see in any of teh reviews. The black colour of the bike fades very soon (may be in a year or 2).

As mentioned by one of the friends above, if you want to buy a RE, never ask for suggestion. You will always get the answer as overprice, maintainance, oil leakage, gear shift problem etc etc...
So now i believe that if you want to own a RE, you have to have a passion for that. i agree it is a big investment for a bike, but trust me it is a asset for life.

Finally i am going to book the bike today. I hope it will fulfill my expectations.

cheers

Really cool bike...
By Navdeep on 28-12-2009
both bikes are equally good.the difference is that the thunderbird is equiped with uce(unit construction engine) which reduces the vibration and friction so it gives a milenge of about 50kmpl.it is also a very comfortable bike to ride about.
By J.srikant on 20-12-2009
I bought tbts its amazing riding pleasure, good feel like real cruzer mini harley, quite stable but the only thing that lacking is service problem in orissa from where i bought because the outlet is far away from my place. its in bbsr, otherwise go ahead no problem suzuki samurai no no sorry its thunder bird.
