Triumph America

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 270 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 is delivered at 6,750rpm with peak torque of 69Nm 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 comfortable ride, thanks to the large & low 28-inch seat, forward set pegs and raked handlebars. The slab-style top yoke, chromed shock absorbers and engine covers complete an appearance and dynamics package that allows the America to stand out from the rest of the cruiser market.
