With its strong, muscular lines the Thunderbird oozes cruise from every angle.

But there is more to the Thunderbird than meets the eye. This critically acclaimed motorcycle, voted ‘Cruiser of the Year’ by top U.S. magazine Cycle World, rewrites the rules on the way that cruisers should perform, bringing Triumph’s reputation for handling and engineering excellence to the mainstream cruiser market for the first time.

Thunderbird devours curves and laughs in the face of those who say cruisers don’t handle. From the very first corner you take, the Thunderbird will pay you the ultimate complement, flattering the rider with its impeccable handling and dynamic qualities in acceleration, handling, and braking. An ABS braking option has been offered as an option too, offering additional security in all conditions.

Powered by the all-new 1,600 cubic-centimeter T-16 parallel-twin engine, the Thunderbird delivers class leading power, torque, and fuel economy figures, with a refinement previously unheard of in the mainstream cruiser class. And if the 85 boiler-horsepower and 108 foot-pounds for the standard bike is not enough, Triumph is also offering a 1,700 cubic-centimeter dealer-fit big bore kit to boost power to 100 boiler-horsepower and torque to 118 foot-pounds for a truly memorable experience.
