2015 TRIUMPH Thunderbird Commander ABS, A strong, willing engine, refined chassis, powerful looks and broad riding position give our new Thunderbird Commander the power and presence to dominate any road. Based on our original Thunderbird, the Commander easily impresses riders and onlookers with its classic cruiser style, premium feel and the world’s largest capacity parallel-twin engine. And being a Triumph, it’s a cruiser that also gives you day-long comfort, practicality, character and, on top of all that, superb handling. There’s no compromise here.Chassis Features• Overview: There’s no handling compromise when you choose a Triumph cruiser and the Thunderbird Commander is no exception. Engineered to be responsive, agile, and deceptively easy to turn, even at low speeds. The Commander marries tuned geometry with a low center of gravity to make it steer as beautifully as it looks. • Frame: A dynamic engine with dynamic styling demands an equally dynamic chassis; one which reflects our belief that every bike, whatever its style, should be agile yet stable, have predictable, neutral steering and superior suspension and brakes. The Thunderbird Commander is no exception to that rule. • Wheels and Tires: Fat-section 140/75 17 in. front and 200/50 17 in. rear tires running on diamond-turned cast wheels. • Suspension: The Commander’s handling is further enhanced by a chassis specification worthy of sportier bikes. It features shrouded 47 mm Showa forks, twin 5-way preload adjustable Showa rear shocks, with optimized dual-rate springs, keeping you isolated from bumps but in touch with the road. • Brakes: Dual 4-piston Nissin calipers on 310 mm floating discs up front and a single Brembo caliper and 310 mm disc at the rear. • Handling: From the moment you roll forward on the Thunderbird Commander, you’ll notice that handling control is a priority, not an afterthought. Light, neutral steering belies the width of the tires, giving the rider form and function in one package. The parallel-twin engine’s compact weight distribution means the center of gravity is focused in front and below your knees, giving the Commander a gentle, even tilt into turns. • Footboards: The Thunderbird Commander gives you high quality footboards made from chromed high-pressure die cast aluminum, featuring replaceable skid plates and an adjustable heel / toe gear lever. • Seat: Rider and pillion seat foam is a double-layer, dual-density material, soft and receptive on first fee
