In 2016, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched a limited edition rum of the Triumph America and Triumph America LT cruisers. The bikes were made in 25 units each, numbered, and with the Triumph boss John Bloor's signature on the Certificate of Authenticity.
The bike's liveries were custom made by the 8 Ball shop, with the Americans wearing an eye-catching Tangerine and New England White, while the America LT featured a Sky Blue and New England White color scheme.
In the aesthetic department, the bike was fitted with standard features, such as a round headlight, a tall windscreen, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a one-piece dual seat, side-mounted rear shocks, and a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side.
The bike's suspension system comprised a 41 mm Kayaba telescopic fork on the front with 120 mm wheel travel and twin preload-adjustable shock absorbers on the rear with 96 mm wheel travel, offering excellent handling.
The braking performance was handled by a 310 mm disc with a dual-piston floating Nissin caliper on the front wheel and a 285 mm disc with a dual-piston Nissin caliper on the rear, providing excellent stopping power.
As for the power figures, the 2016 Triumph America LT Limited Edition had its soul brought to life by an 865cc four-stroke parallel-twin air-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 62 hp at 6,800 rpm and 72 Nm (53 lb-ft) torque at 3,300 rpm.
