THUNDERBIRD

Fuses design and engineering perfection.

OVERVIEW

The new Triumph Thunderbird fuses design and engineering perfection.

Fitting that a bike which tells you more about the road also tells you more about your journey, with class-leading functionality. The tank has a large speedo, integrated tacho, two trip meters and fuel gauge, set in a chromed nacelle and proudly bearing the unique Thunderbird logo.

The new Triumph Thunderbird, powered by an all new parallel twin 1600cc/98 inch water cooled engine, beats a rhythm of primal appeal.

Each gear change feels – positive, smooth and satisfying. And with a sixth to slip into you can enjoy those soothing, deep, booming low-rev tones to their full even at higher speeds.

All that ‘go’ is balanced out with a whole world of ‘stop’. Dual front discs deliver the message from hand to wheel so smoothly and progressively that braking feels more intuitive than responsive.
