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.
