2010 Triumph Thunderbird

Sixty years since the original Thunderbird, Triumph has once again combined intuitive handling, cool style and a rebellious attitude to create an immediate icon. The 2010 Thunderbird is an all new 1600cc twin cyclinder cruiser that delivers an authentic riding experience in a uniquely Triumph package.

Triumph has unveiled the all-new Thunderbird cruiser that will join the 2010 model line-up.

Triumph also unveiled the all-new Thunderbird at the Global Dealer Conference. The eagerly-anticipated cruiser is set to go on sale next summer and is an important addition to the company’s cruiser range.

Designed to take on the best in the cruiser category, combining sleek and modern custom styling with strong performance and great dynamics, the Thunderbird delivers an authentic cruiser experience in a uniquely Triumph package.

Triumph’s Thunderbird features an all-new 1599cc parallel twin-cylinder motor with six-speed gearbox and belt drive. The engine, with a bore and stroke of 103.8 x 94.3mm, will develop in excess of 75bhp in standard trim and produces more than 100 lb/ft of torque.

The Thunderbird will be offered with an extensive range of official accessories for riders who wish to tailor the bike to their individual needs. Whether they want a stripped-down and chromed-up hot rod with muscular performance or a fullydressed classic style custom-tourer for two-up touring, Triumph’s accessory range lets the rider customise the Thunderbird to their individual tastes. An ABS option will also be available.

Triumph will announce the confirmed price and specifications for this 2010 model to the press this month. However, you don’t have to wait to find out. You can bring home your new standard Thunderbird for an MSRP of only $12,999USD in the US or $15,399CAN in Canada. Or get the premium ABS model for an MSRP of only $13,799USD in the US and $16,399CAN in Canada.
