New for 2011, meet the Thunderbird’s punky cousin. Dechromed. Stripped down. More attitude than before. Distinctive twin headlights. Straight bars. Any colour you like, as long as it’s black. This is the Thunderbird Storm, the same great chassis as the award-winning Thunderbird, with more power as standard and a harder edged and more distinctive look.

Triumph Thunderbird Storm

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�fs 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�fs 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�fs specification sheet certainly isn�ft.

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.

Triumph Thunderbird Storm Features and Benefits

With the award-winning Thunderbird as its base, it’s no surprise that the Storm comes highly specified as standard.

The edgy, stripped down, styling is complemented perfectly by the iconic twin headlights, made famous on Triumph’s legendary Rocket III and Speed Triple models, give the Thunderbird Storm a street rod look straight from the box.

And while the look may be pared back, the spec sheet certainly isn’t. With a 1700cc parallel-twin at its heart the Thunderbird Storm is a power cruiser that packs a mighty punch. The tank mounted speedo includes a small built in tacho and on-board computer which includes clock, two trip meters and a fuel gauge. The low maintenance belt drive system delivers the torque smoothly and cleanly, while the cycle parts ooze class and quality. Anti-lock brakes are also an option for the Thunderbird Storm, offering extra security and safety to the rider and passenger.
