America

 

Updates for 2008:

  • New, larger fuel tank with new chromed badges

BRITISH ENGINEERED STYLE

The Triumph America mixes classic British engineering with style straight from the US highways, with its wide bars, forward set pegs and relaxed, parallel twin power.    

Using the iconic Triumph Bonneville as a base, the America builds on a fantastic package. Its 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. Peak power of 55PS (54bhp) is delivered at 6,750rpm with peak torque of 69Nm (51ft.lbf) arriving at 4,800rpm. 

The engine fires out through a pair of deep-chrome reverse silencers, spinning the cast 15 inch rear rims crowned with a fat, 170/80-section rear tyre through a five-speed gearbox. The durable, wide-set, polished telescopic forks add substance and a solid look to the America’s raked front end, enhanced by the 18 inch cast front wheel with its 110/90 tyre. The twin-piston calipers and front and rear disc brakes take care of stopping duties.  

The America is a true cruising bike built to cover the miles in style and comfort. 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 pillion and offers a supremely comfortable ride, thanks to the large, low 28 inch seat, forward set pegs and raked handlebars.  

The America is made to be admired with its slab-style top yoke, chromed shock absorbers and chromed engine covers. But the America also offers something a little different; a sense of its own style and heritage that allows it to stand out from the rest of the clone-like cruiser market. Above the redesigned teardrop shaped 19.3 litre (5.1 gal US) fuel tank sits a deep-chromed instrument console and matching classic style Triumph tank badges.  

For 2008, a brand new colour option, Pacific Blue and Aegean with a gold hand painted coach line, joins the existing Pacific Blue/New England White and Phantom Black colour options.  

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 the rider to further customise their bike and mark out their personal identity. 

The need to explore lies deep within the human soul. As the open road beckons, the America is just waiting to be ridden providing an enjoyable passport to two-wheeled freedom.
