The Triumph America mixes classic British
engineering with style straight from the US highways, with wide bars, forward
set pegs and relaxed, parallel twin power. Freedom and individuality define the
essence of cruising and the America encapsulates both. The simple addition of
genuine Triumph accessories designed specifically for the America, such as
luggage options or chrome parts, allows you to mark out your personal identity.
As the open road beckons, the America is just waiting to be ridden providing an
enjoyable passport to two-wheeled freedom.
The Cruiser Range - Performance and looks – no compromise. Triumph cruisers
deliver performance with a balance that revels in every sweeping curve. Powered
by torquey twin and triple engines that feel and sound like no other. Individual
bikes for riders with an individual spirit - covered in chrome and infused with
Triumph’s original and authentic styling, they are ready for you to customize
with Genuine Triumph Accessories.
FEATURES:
Engine
The America’s 865cc, air-cooled, DOHC, twin cylinder engine shares its basic
architecture with the Bonnie, but the 270º firing angle provides a loping
exhaust note and smooth power delivery that’s big on easy-going drive and full
of character.
Fueling
CVK36 Keihin Carburettors with throttle position sensor and float bowl heaters.
Fuel Tank
The America’s new seamless, teardrop-shaped tank holds more fuel as well as
looking great with its chromed badges and hand painted coach lines.
Chassis
Both new and experienced riders will appreciate the sure-footed ability of the
chassis and the confidence-inspiring handling. The riding position is relaxed
for both rider and passenger and offers a supremely comfortable ride, thanks to
the large, low 28 inch seat, forward set pegs and raked handlebars.
Wheels
The cast, aluminum alloy 15 inch rear rim is crowned with a fat, 170/80-section
rear tire while the front, an 18 inch cast wheel, wears a 110/90 tire. Durable,
wide-set telescopic forks add substance and a solid look to the America’s raked
front end, while twin-piston calipers and front and rear disc brakes take care
of stopping duties.
Exhaust System
The America’s engine fires out through a pair of deep-chrome reverse silencers.
