TRIUMPH America (2010-2011) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Triumph Bonneville America was a cruiser motorcycle manufactured by Triumph Motorcycles Ltd in Hinckley Leicestershire, England. Compared to the standard Bonneville, the Triumph America model had an extended wheelbase and a different riding style.

Compared to the base Bonneville America version, the Triumph America model had a lowered saddle, a smaller 18-inch wheel with the brake disc borrowed from the standard Bonneville, an increased rake angle, a smaller 15-inch rear wheel with a larger brake disc, and a larger fuel tank.

The bike underwent several performance modifications, including a displacement increase in 2007, from 790cc to 865cc, and the addition of a fuel injection system in 2007 on the UK-spec model and in 2009 on the American version.

In 2010, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph America, a machine that carried the same visual, technical, and performance specifications as the previous model without any significant modifications, except for new color schemes.

Underneath its fuel tank, the 2010 Triumph America had installed an 865cc four-stroke twin-cylinder air-cooled engine managed by a fuel injection system, delivering an output power of 60 hp at 6,800 rpm and 72 Nm (53 lb-ft) torque at 3,300 rpm.

The bike's power was handled by a five-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch, spinning the rear wheel through a final X-ring chain drive.

The 2010 model was available in Phantom Black at an MSRP of $8,700 and in a two-tone Pacific Blue with England White at $8,900.
