TRIUMPH America Classic Touring (2011) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2011, in addition to the standard model, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph America Classic Touring, a machine that featured $3,000 worth of touring accessories at $1,000 over the MSRP.

In addition to its standard features, the maker installed a Roadster windscreen for better protection, side-mounted leather saddlebags for more storage, a passenger backrest for more comfort, and chromed wheels for a killer look.

Besides that, the Triumph America Classic Touring was identical to the base model, packing the same technical, aesthetic, and performance specifications without any significant modifications whatsoever.

In the suspension department, the bike packed a 41 mm Kayaba telescopic fork on the front with 120 mm wheel travel and dual-side-mounted Kayaba shock absorbers on the rear with 96 mm wheel travel.

As for the braking performance, the bike's wheels were fitted with a 310 mm disc coupled to a dual-piston Nissin caliper on the front and a 285 mm disc with a two-piston Nissin caliper on the rear, offering optimum stopping power.

In the performance department, the 2011 Triumph America Classic Touring had installed underneath its fuel tank an 865cc four-stroke twin-cylinder air-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, delivering 60 hp at 6,800 rpm and 72 Nm (53 lb-ft) torque at 3,300 rpm.

The engine power was sent to a five-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch, spinning the rear wheel through a final X-ring chain drive.
