Talking about the updates, both the motorcycles feature blacked out headlamp with LED DRLs, new 9-spoke alloy black alloy wheel, shorter handlebars and a new single seat (instead of split unit). In addition, the Thunderbird 500X gets the tubeless tyres, which is a first from the Chennai-based bikemaker.

The matte black treatment on the exhaust and the forks up front and the dual shock absorbers at the rear adds more to their new sporty look.
