Triumph America

+ Updated model for 2011

+ Lower seat height and improved ergonomics for easier ride

+ All-new styling for classic cruiser look

+ Traditionally British 865cc parallel-twin powerplant

+ Wide range of official accessories available to create an individual look

+ Standard two-year unlimited mileage warranty

.Heavily updated for 2011, the 865cc Triumph America offers an even more accessible entry point into Triumph’s cruiser range, delivering an authentic cruising experience but with a distinctive Triumph twist.

The America’s completely new styling has taken on a more classic theme for 2011, with the 16” front and 15” rear cast alloy wheels sporting high walled tyres to complement the deeply valenced front mudguard, pulled back handlebars and feet forward controls for a traditional low and laid back cruiser look. For 2011 the rider has also been placed even closer to the controls, creating greater harmony between rider and machine and making the 2011 Triumph America even easier to ride.

Low means a 690mm seat height and an easy to manage 250kg wet weight, fully fuelled and ready to ride. Triumph’s engineers have deliberately designed the 2011 America to appeal to a wide range of riders. In addition to the low seat and light weight, neat touches such as the easily accessible sidestand and friendly ergonomics mean that it’s no wonder the America appeals to a wide variety of riders looking for a cool looking yet fun and easy to ride motorcycle.

.Metallic Phantom Black or two-tone Eclipse Blue with Crystal White paint schemes give the America a timeless appeal and understated style. Liberal lashings of high quality chrome further enhance the America’s appeal and help deliver a beautifully balanced design.

And the twist? Triumph’s classic parallel-twin power plant provides a unique proposition in a sea of ‘me too’ V-twins. This quintessentially British configuration sets the America apart from the competition and delivers a unique look and riding experience.

With a 270-degree firing order, the America delivers a healthy 61PS with a mellow soundtrack and connected feeling. And the air-cooled engine is totally modern too, with fuel injection for clean running and low maintenance.

A full range of genuine Triumph accessories are available for the America and include items such as quick release screens and sissy bars, panniers, a low seat option and a number of leather and chrome items for riders who want to cosmetically tune their cruiser.

Triumph Speedmaster

+ Comprehensively updated for 2011

+ All-new styling with traditional stripped custom look

+ Low seat, light weight and revised ergonomics for even easier riding experience

+ 19” cast front wheel with single disc enhance aggressive design

+ Authentic British parallel-twin brings unique experience to cruiser sector

+ Two-year unlimited mileage warranty as standard

.The new-for-2011 Triumph Speedmaster features a host of updates to deliver an improved riding experience and an even more aggressive appearance.

The stripped down sports cruiser now features a new 19” cast aluminium front wheel with single disc brake and ‘skinny’ tyre for the classic chopped hot rod look and a whole host of other updates to give the Speedmaster more attitude and improved accessibility.

At the heart of the Speedmaster is Triumph’s revered 865cc parallel twin engine, a classic configuration favoured by custom builders around the world. With its 270-degree firing order and twin slash cut pipes, the fuel-injected unit delivers a peppy 61PS and 72Nm of torque with a satisfying growl befitting the sporting looks.

.Ergonomics have been improved for the 2011 model year, with a low 690mm seat height married to new and wider handlebars that deliver a new riding position that feels substantially different to the previous model and which will appeal to a wide variety of riders.

To complete the back to basics street rod look, the 2011 Speedmaster sports blacked out engine cases, a carefully crafted teardrop tank, minimalist mudguards, a 15” cast rear wheel with high profile tyre and a new front headlight design.

Two colour options are available for the 2011 Triumph Speedmaster: classic metallic Phantom Black and Cranberry Red, a new colour which is debuting on the Speedmaster.

A full range of genuine Triumph accessories are available to accompany the Speedmaster, including a range of saddlebags, screens and alternative seats to meet the preferences of the individual rider.

Triumph Thunderbird Storm

+ New model for 2011

+ Powerful 1700cc version of Triumph’s award-winning T-16 engine developing 98PS and 156Nm of torque

+ Aggressive blacked-out look with twin streetfighter headlights

+ Low, 700mm seat height for classic look and easy riding

+ Powerful four-piston brakes with optional ABS

+ Two year unlimited mileage warranty as standard

.New for 2011 is a power cruiser for riders who expect a harder-edge to their ride: the Triumph Thunderbird Storm.

Powered by a big bore, 1700cc, version of Triumph’s acclaimed T-16 parallel twin engine, the Thunderbird Storm’s massive 107mm pistons pump out a muscular 98PS, with a meaty 156Nm of torque at just 2950rpm.

The Thunderbird Storm utilises the chassis of Triumph’s award-winning Thunderbird, a cruiser renowned for its outstanding poise and precision, but is wrapped up in a pared down, punked up look.

Triumph’s iconic twin headlights, made famous on the Rocket III and Speed Triple models, and drag bars perfectly fit this street rod’s aggressive nature and are complemented by the deep metallic Phantom Black or dark Matt Black paint options, and the matching blacked out engine cases.

.The low 700mm seat height provides a sumptuous laid back riding, while handling will provide a pleasant surprise to cruiser and non-cruiser riders alike. Triumph is renowned for its ability to make fine handling motorcycles and the Thunderbird Storm provides no exception. With 47mm forks up front and five-way adjustable twin shocks at the rear, the Triumph delivers a compliant and accurate
ride in all conditions, while well appointed twin 310mm floating discs up front are grabbed by powerful four-piston brakes for progressive stopping power, with optional ABS for increased rider security.

Sporting Metezeler Marathon tyres, developed especially for the Thunderbird range, adorn five-spoke cast alloy wheels and inspire confidence while cornering.

And while the look may be minimalist, the Thunderbird Storm’s specification sheet certainly isn’t.

This power cruiser oozes quality, from the premium components to the neat attention to detail and a distinctive new Triumph script on the tank, this is a machine for the discerning rider looking for a distinctive alternative to the mainstream offerings.

The tank mounted speedo includes a comprehensive on-board computer which includes a clock, two trip meters and fuel gauge, in addition to a small and stylish tachometer. A range of almost 100 accessories are available for the Thunderbird Storm, giving owners the chance to personalise their bikes to meet their own needs and tastes.
