Rule The Road Rule the Highway

Royal Enfield Thunderbird Twinspark Review

The Thunderbird TwinSpark is an important launch for Royal Enfield as it signals the future of Royal Enfield bikes. Bullets till now used
to feature external clutch and gearbox this meant there were two oils,

one for the engine and the other for the gearbox. No wonder the older bullets used to leak oil frequently. All that has changed with the Thunderbird TwinSpark.

Twinspark plugs mean better combustion of fuel, which translates into better fuel economy, more pickup, more power and torque. The All-new aluminum engine is a delight to drive whether in the city or on the highways. It was developed with AVL of Austria. The bike feels better than the old model on all respects, most importantly less vibrations at high speeds and is much smoother.

The bike is a little troublesome to drive in the city roads due to the large turning radius near U turns and wide handlebars and 182 kg weight. This is something all bullet owners will get used to as the dimension of the bike is designed to give maximum comfort for the driver and pillion and is not a cause to complain.

The engine is 346cc all aluminum with lean burn technology and has 6 plate clutch and 18 watt magneto pole for better charging of the battery. Older models had 4 plate clutch and smaller magneto. The bike has an auto decompressor for easy kick starts.
