Both the Thunderbird 350X and the 500X have a more modern design appeal, thanks to the inclusion of black alloy wheels; sportier handlebars; round mirrors, and a single-piece seat. The motorcycles also get split grab handles, and are devoid of the cushioned pillion backrest. The powertrain, sideboxes, fenders, headlight casing and the instrument pods get black finish on both motorcycles. The fuel tank gets funky colours like White, Red, Yellow, and Blue. The rim stickers also match the colour of the tank.
