2014 Triumph Thunderbird ABS, 2014 Triumph Thunderbird ABS Laid back and relaxed, the Thunderbird is exactly the way a cruiser should be.But, on top of that, Triumph engineering has added superior performance and handling without ever diluting what the Thunderbird is all about.The engine itself is unique in its class, a classic Triumph parallel twin. And the styling is pure cruiser with sweeping lines, low seat and high bars.But like any Triumph it's highly practical too, and perfectly feasible as an everyday commuter. A long, low, fat-tyred, chromed up, everyday commuter. Standard Features May Include: Bodywork We made sure that the Thunderbird's authentic classic style lives on.

Coupled with well-dampened suspension this gives you a plush ride and exceptionally stable, easy handling for a bike in this class. Suspension With their 47mm diameter and 120mm of travel, the forks are carefully matched by our suspension specialists to the pair of chromed rear shocks. And, their 5-position adjustable spring preload allows you to adjust them to suit the way you want to ride.
