TRIUMPH America (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2012, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph America, a cruiser machine that debuted in 2002, designed and manufactured at the Hinckley factory in Leicestershire, England.

From 2002 to 2006, the bike was powered by a 790cc carbureted engine until 2007, when it received a displacement increase from 790cc to 865cc. In 2008, the UK-spec version of the Triumph America was updated with a new fuel injection system as well as the American version, but later, in 2009.

The 2012 cruiser motorcycle benefited from the latest updates brought to the machine in 2011, taking a more classic theme, enhancing its ergonomics, and placing the rider closer to the controls.

The 2012 Triumph America rolled on 16-inch front and 15-inch rear wheels with high-wall tires, complementing the profoundly valanced front mudguard. The handlebar was pulled back, and feet-forward controls were added for a more traditional look and a laid-back riding experience.

At its core, the 2012 Triumph America had the same 865cc four-stroke twin-cylinder air-cooled engine as previous models, fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, delivering an output power of 61 hp with maximum strength at 6,800 rpm and 72 Nm (53 lb-ft) torque at 3,300 rpm.

In addition, the bike was available with a host of Genuine Triumph Accessories, including quick detachable windscreens, sissy bars, leather panniers, and many more.
