Royal Enfield Meteor is one of the most anticipated motorcycles from the brand that is expected to launch in India as a successor to the very famous Royal Enfield Thunderbird. The upcoming motorcycle has been spotted testing multiple times on the Indian roads while the first-ever rendering of its final design has been recently realised by SRK Designs.
Taking a first glance at the rendering, the motorcycle offers a Thunderbird-inspired outlook. The overall cruiser design language with a low slung split seat setup and teardrop fuel tank design accentuates its overall profile while the addition of relaxed footpegs position, as well as the blacked-out body panels, makes it resemble the present-gen Thunderbird variant in all its glory.
The Royal Enfield emblem on the fuel tank has been redesigned when compared to the one present on the Thunderbird cruiser while the side panels have been adorned with Meteor branding. In addition to this, the Royal Enfield Meteor rendering features a revised handlebar unit which is now slightly lower when compared to its predecessor and offers a sporty riding experience though equally comfortable.
To accentuate the sportier outlook of the cruiser further, the motorcycle has been equipped with a shorter front fender while the turn signals, as well as the tail light setup, has also been revised a bit. The tail light is a round unit that has been positioned just below the rear seat while the exhaust system has been adorned with an all-black colour scheme with chrome detailing at the heat shield.
The Royal Enfield Meteor rendering has been further equipped with a single-pod digital instrument console while the alloys have been offered an all-black outlook. If the final variant of the motorcycle features the same look as shown in the rendering, one can expect a whole new fan craze for the upcoming product. The Thunderbird successor is expected to be launched in India by the mid-2020 while one can expect it to be priced around INR 1.80-2.0 lakh (ex-showroom).
