== Overview ==
Triumph Thunderbird
Nightstorm















The Thunderbird Nightstorm Special Edition is a fully-specified, blacked-out
power cruiser for riders who demand a harder edge along with their laid-back
ride. Based on the successful Thunderbird Storm and powered by the big-bore
1699cc (104ci) version of Triumphs acclaimed parallel-twin engine, the
Nightstorm adds a host of styling touches to provide a darker, moodier and more
menacing presence.

Thunderbird Range


Style, performance and control. Its a classy combination, but it only takes
one look at the Triumph Thunderbird Range to instantly know theyve got the
lot. From making big miles disappear to dominating the urban landscape;
whichever you choose, the worlds largest parallel twin engine has every
answer.
Thunderbird and Thunderbird Storm
Be different, Be bold, Be in control
The Triumph Thunderbird and Thunderbird Storm share an
underlying chassis, but theyre two very different breeds of muscle cruiser.
The Triumph Thunderbird is the original, laid-back, relaxed, chromed-up
cruiser bike using a torque-rich parallel twin engine to sweep you off your
feet and get you where you want to be in life, every time. The Triumph
Thunderbird Storm, on the other hand, is blacked-out, mean-streets cruiser
that uses its enlarged motor to hammer out even more gut-wrenching
bottom-end performance.
Thunderbird Commander and Thunderbird LT
The Triumph Thunderbird Commander and Thunderbird LT share
an underlying chassis and are powered by the same massively torquey 1699cc
parallel twin engine, but theyre two very different breeds of muscle
cruiser. The Thunderbird Commander has the essential power-cruiser style and
broad, dynamic riding stance to utterly dominate any road and ride.
Meanwhile the Triumph Thunderbird LT is loaded with the easy-going,
laid-back vibe of a premium classic touring cruiser, as well as a host of
long-distance accessories.
Engine
The Triumph Thunderbird engines look every cubic inch a
classic cruiser motor, designed with Triumphs unique, big-bore parallel
twin twist. But dont be fooled by the air-cooling fins. Because inside is a
modern, high-performance, water-cooled power plant with sophisticated
electronic fuel injection and engine management, built with Triumphs
cutting-edge quality and durability.
Configuration
With forged pistons the size of saucers, the Thunderbirds
1597cc, Thunderbird Storm, Commander and Thunderbird LTs 1699cc,
eight-valve, water-cooled parallel twin is engineered with a 270° firing
interval for a chunky, charismatic power delivery. Twin balance shafts
soothe low frequency vibes, allowing the Thunderbirds pulsating torque to
be felt across the rev range.
Performance
At a colossal 1699cc, the worlds largest parallel twin
engine powering the Triumph Thunderbird Commander and Thunderbird LT packs a
mighty big punch, pounding out a remarkable 94PS and truly staggering 151Nm
at 3550rpm. This barn-storming low down performance makes it the perfect
engine for anything from effortlessly relaxed cruising across entire
continents on the Thunderbird LT to cutting a domineering dash along todays
roads on the Thunderbird Commander. But with phenomenal overtaking power
always on tap whichever gear youre in, your Thunderbird is never found
wanting.


The 1597cc Triumph Thunderbird motor thumps out a fulsome
86PS, but the real story is a whopping 146Nm of peak torque at a mere
2750rpm. Meanwhile the 1699cc Thunderbird Storm engine raises the bar even
higher to 98PS and a simply colossal 156Nm of torque. It means both
Thunderbird and Thunderbird Storms low down power deliveries are
specifically engineered to suit their chilled-out cruising vibe, but both
bikes also come fully armed with serious performance under the tank to lay
down the law when action is called for.
Gearbox-Transmission
The Triumph Thunderbirds smooth, six-speed gear ratios
deliver every ounce of the engines torque-rich performance, from the
intense thrust of first gear right the way to an overdrive top gear for
relaxed cruising and exceptional fuel efficiency. But with phenomenal
overtaking power always on tap whichever gear youre in, the Thunderbird is
never found wanting.
Belt Drive
The Triumph Thunderbird belt drive, with carbon fibre in the
belt and a tungsten carbide treatment on the rear pulley, has a higher
tensile strength than steel and ensures snatch-free transmission with high
durability and almost no maintenance compared to chain-drive. And it doesnt
need oiling.



Riding Position
The Thunderbird Commander instantly lives up to its name as
soon as you get on. Wide, swept-back bars brace you against the world,
forward-placed running boards and a low, deeply padded seat with
double-layer, triple-density seat foam, settle you into a tough, yet
laid-back, groove. If feels like youre ready to take on the world  and
win. The Thunderbird LT has the same footboards and deeply padded seat, but
its high, pulled-back cow horn bars give a more steady, touring feel to its
riding position. It feels like youre ready to ride round the world  and
win.
Being in control and being seen to be in control are what
counts on the Triumph Thunderbird and Thunderbird Storm. With forward
footrests, double-foam low seat, and wide, pulled-back bars for a spacious
riding position, theyre perfect for a quick Sunday spin, or comfortable on
long trips, even two-up.
Chassis
Overview
The Triumph Thunderbirds dynamic engine demands an equally
dynamic chassis with handling developed as a priority, not an afterthought.
As a result, all Thunderbirds can supply relatively high levels of agility,
control and precision usually unheard of in a cruiser, with plenty of ground
clearance for when the ride gets interesting.
Suspension
Stylish on the outside, modern on the inside. The Triumph
Thunderbirds feature chunky 47mm Showa forks with 120mm of travel. set-up
and carefully matched to a pair of five-way preload adjustable shocks at the
rear, with 109mm (LT & Commander) and 95mm (Thunderbird & Thunderbird Storm)
of travel giving the right dynamic for everything from spirited solo riding
to two up touring.
Wheels and Tyres
To match the Triumph Thunderbird Commanders dominant
presence on the road, yet retain its agile, user-friendly handling
characteristics, a dramatic, fat-section 140/75 17in front tyre is fitted
with a 200/50 17in at the rear, running on lightweight diamond-turned cast
wheels. Meanwhile the Thunderbird LT features the worlds first white-walled
radial tyres, developed exclusively for Triumph by British tyre manufacturer
Avon. With a fat-section 150/80 16in front and 180/70 16in rear on stunning
56-spoke wire rims, theyre the ultimate in laid-back cruiser cool.
Handling
The Triumph Thunderbird delivers awesome engine performance.
Thats why outstanding handling, in all situations and for all riders, is
called for. The bikes are carefully developed to bring Triumphs trademark
light, neutral steering, easy low speed agility, and high stability and
user-friendliness to the big cruiser class. High performance braking is also
of prime importance, using twin Nissin four-piston calipers on 310mm discs
at the front and a Brembo caliper and 310mm disc at the rear, backed up by
sophisticated ABS.
Styling
Style matters, which is why the Triumph Thunderbirds stir
emotions visually as well as on the road. From mechanical highlights like
machined cooling fins, chrome covers and careful exhaust routing, to the
aesthetics of diamond-turned cast wheels or wire spokes, deep fenders,
hand-painted coach lines and lustrous body-colours, each Thunderbird is
built with the quality and detailing youd expect of a prestige Triumph
cruiser. So whether you prefer the LTs classic touring cruiser stance or
the clean, elegant style of the Thunderbird Commander, you know your bike
looks as good to everyone else as it does to you.

benefit from a pair of sumptuous, genuine leather, top-loading panniers with
ample 52-litre capacity. Includes chrome plated, Triumph-branded buckles and
hidden snap clips for ease of use.
