TRIUMPH Thunderbird (2014-2015) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2014, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Thunderbird, a cruiser motorcycle that debuted in 2009. The bike was manufactured at the Hinckley factory in Leicestershire, England.

Over its production years from 2009, the bike retained the same technical, aesthetic, and performance specifications without any significant modifications, except for color alterations and a tank-mounted instrument cluster.

In the visual department, the 2014 Thunderbird had fitted standard features, such as a round headlight, a teardrop-style fuel tank, a to-piece dual seat, side-mounted shock absorbers on the rear, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and five-spoke alloy wheels.

The bike's suspension system was retained from previous models, with a 47 mm Showa Telescopic fork on the front that offered 120 mm wheel travel and five-position adjustable twin shock absorbers on the rear with 95 mm wheel travel.

The braking power was handled by two 310 mm floating discs coupled to four-piston Nissin calipers on the front wheel and a 310 mm disc with a dual-piston Brembo caliper on the rear wheel, offering excellent stopping power.

As for the power figures, the 2014 Triumph Thunderbird had installed between the wheels a 1,597cc four-stroke two-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by a fuel injection system, boasting 86 hp with maximum strength at 4,850 rpm and 146 Nm (108 lb-ft) torque at 2,750 rpm.
