2014 Triumph America, 2014 Triumph America This bike isn t just built to look a certain way, it s built to feel a certain way. The America is engineered around a unique engine so you get a truly authentic ride. One that connects you to Triumph s long and rich cruiser heritage. We re talking about its distinctive, air-cooled parallel-twin that gives you the riding experience you expect from this class but with a very individual British flavour. Taking classic cruiser appeal and blending it with Triumph reliability and everyday practicality. Standard Features May Include: Styling Pure cruiser with a British twist. With its eye-catching chromed and polished instruments, headlight bowl, shrouded front forks, twin rear shocks and engine covers. From the moment you see the America, and every second you ride, it feels every bit as authentic as it looks. Engine Built to be ridden, not just to look good. The America s 865cc parallel-twin puts out a healthy 61PS with strong torque at low revs, peaking at 72Nm at just 3300rpm. Ideal for urban cruising at low revs but with enough muscle for serious long distances at motorway speeds, even with a passenger or luggage on board. This vertical twin is a true original. Drawing on our heritage from fifties and sixties parallel twins and coupling that with modern technology and build standards, the engine in the America has a laid-back riding character that s unique to the cruiser world. An engine like this is about more than just the numbers. It s about the way it feels. It responds to the throttle obediently, allowing you to accelerate confidently. And we ve carefully modulated its vibration levels to allow you to connect with the ride without it becoming intrusive on long trips. Then there s the off-beat 270-degree firing interval and mellow soundtrack that gives substance to the America s cruiser styling for a bike that sounds, looks and, above all, feels amazing. Suspension With forks raked out at a shallow angle and feature polished shrouding and silver legs that match the chrome springs and covers of the laid-down, twin rear shocks. The America s suspension works hard to provide laid-back comfort and road feedback in true cruiser style. Handling Long, low and stable like a cruiser should be.Everything about the America s chassis is focussed on balance and we ve matched each component carefully to maintain that steady, intuitive feel.As a result, it s agile enough for an exciting ride when the road gets interesting and is more capable through the corners than most of its rivals.It s so well-balanced that it is ideal for inexperienced riders as well as a satisfying cruise for those with a lot of miles behind them. Brakes Never too sharp or intimidating,
