Royal Enfield is aggressively introducing more safety features on their models during this year's festive season. The Chennai-based company will soon come across stiff competition in the segment as Jawa Motorcycles is about to re-enter the Indian market.

The first products from Jawa will be a 300cc and 350cc model. The motorcycles have already been spied testing multiple times while unofficial bookings have already begun, ahead of its launch on 15th November.

Thoughts On The Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350X ABS

Royal Enfield has introduced ABS on the Thunderbird 350X in India. The introduction of ABS on the models is part of the new government rule mandating the safety feature for motorcycles above 125cc.

Royal Enfield also introduced the Bullet 350 with rear disc brakes. However, the Royal Enfield Bullet 350 with the rear discs, still misses out on ABS for now.
