2016 Triumph America, 2016 Triumph America This bike isn t just built to look a certain way, it s built to feel a certain way. The America is engineered around a unique engine so you get a truly authentic ride. One that connects you to Triumph s long and rich cruiser heritage. We re talking about its distinctive, air-cooled parallel-twin that gives you the riding experience you expect from this class but with a very individual British flavour. Taking classic cruiser appeal and blending it with Triumph reliability and everyday practicality. Features may include: The Look Pure cruiser with a British twist. With its eye-catching chromed and polished instruments, headlight bowl, shrouded front forks, twin rear shocks and engine covers. From the moment you see the America, and every second you ride, it feels every bit as authentic as it looks.

It responds to the throttle obediently, allowing you to accelerate confidently. And we ve carefully modulated its vibration levels to allow you to connect with the ride without it becoming intrusive on long trips. Then there s the off-beat 270-degree firing interval and mellow soundtrack that gives substance to the America s cruiser styling for a bike that sounds, looks and, above all, feels amazing. 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 America s 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 America s
