The 2010 Thunderbird places itself exactly in the market where Harley-Davidson rules. The Thunderbird now finds itself in Big Twin country and every effort has been made to ensure it stays there where others end up in the Badlands. Triumph had the Speedmaster, America and Rocket IIIs, but there was a major gap in between the 865cc parallel twins and the 2300cc triple. The Triumph Thunderbird closes that gap with its 1700cc parallel twin powertrain.
The 2010 Triumph Thunderbird is a stripped down cruiser that can be taken to the exact same places as the extensive H-D Softail range.
The seat is at a low 700mm height and it’s instantly comfortable. The low seat height enables the forward mounted footpegs to give a comfortable cruising position.
The front brake setup is a double 310mm disc with Nissin 4-pot calipers, and a single 310mm disc at the rear with a 2-pot Brembo caliper.
