== Overview ==

Triumph America LT





















From a cross-town hop to an intercontinental tour, the America LT will take you
there in style. Based on the engine, chassis and legendary styling of our
America, the LT adds a layer of touring capability and an enviable range of
factory fitted extras designed to make those longer distances a breeze. All the
while maintaining the traditional deep chrome and polished detailing demanded of
a classic cruiser, of course.
The America LT adds a layer of touring capability to the
America via a range of carefully selected factory fitted extras
designed to make long distance riding even more comfortable and
convenient.
Comfortable all day riding position with a sumptuous,
scalloped seat, wide footboards, pulled back handlebars, and
excellent wind protection.

Detachable high level tour wind shield for weather
protection
Stylish showerproof leather panniers
Pillion back rest / Sissy Bar

Styling
Striking machined fins pick out the distinctive parallel twin
shape, while chrome engine covers are offset against jet-black
barrels and crankcases. A pair of wide, dramatically splayed
exhaust pipes dominate the LTs front three-quarter profile with
their classic header-run following a straight line from the
throttle bodies through to the headers. Our parallel twin
heritage for all to see and admire.
Chassis
Swept-back classic styling, characterised by details such as
the dramatic slab top yoke, centre-mounted white-faced speedo,
large single headlight, chrome tank console housing and filler
cap, and hand-painted tank and mudguard coachlines.
Performance
Built to be ridden, not just to look good. The Americas
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 thats unique to
the cruiser world.


Configuration
Straight away people notice the Americas unmistakably
British style. Its pair of cylinders stand upright and proud and
make a powerful statement. And, being air-cooled theres no
radiator to spoil the view.
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 Americas
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 Americas chassis is focussed on balance
and weve matched each component carefully to maintain that
steady, intuitive feel.
As a result, its agile enough for an exciting ride when the
road gets interesting and is more capable through the corners
than most of its rivals.
Its 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, braking is looked after by
single discs front and rear to provide plenty of stopping force,
whilst maintaining the overall balance of the chassis so every
moment of your ride is confident and controlled.
Wheels and Tyres
The cast aluminum wheels are small in diameter. 16 and 15
inches front and rear and fitted with chunky, deep sidewall
tires for a classic cruiser look and a more comfortable
cushioned ride.
Seat Height
A seat height of just 690mm makes the America easy to control
when gliding through traffic or parking. In fact, the set-up
suits many riders that find other bikes too tall. Whatever your
height though, easy positioning of the bars, seat and footrests
means youll quickly find your most relaxed and comfortable
cruising posture.


Riding Position
As a pure unadulterated cruiser, your riding position should
be upright, laid back and spacious. But never at the expense of
comfort and sheer riding pleasure. So the Americas bars hang
high and wide but are also pulled back so that the controls are
closer to you. And weve set the footrests far enough forward
for comfort, without being too much of a stretch. Putting you in
firm, confident control of your bike during busy urban riding or
long-distance travel.
Footboards
High-quality aluminum foot-boards and removable skid plates
come with a classic heel/toe gear shift, positioning the riders
feet for maximum comfort and control.
Saddlebags
At the back, the America LTs generous leather panniers are
showerproof and come with metal buckles over durable,
easy-to-use plastic clips.
Windshield
The tall wind-shield deflects the worst of the weather and is
easily detachable (via a pair of spring-loaded levers at each
side of the screen) to achieve a completely alternative look.
Back Rest - Sissy Bar
We added a pillion backrest to add all day comfort for your
passenger too.
