Thunderbird Storm Rs. 12,499.00PRODUCT INFORMATION

OVERVIEWLess chrome, more power and more attitude. The Thunderbird Storm comes with a 1700cc engine and hard­edgedstyle.Based on our original Thunderbird, the Storm keeps the pure Triumph twinned headlights but adds a low, blackedout look that's mean and minimalist for massive street presence backed up by huge torque and confident handling.We squeezed 102cc more from the muscle­bound parallel twin engine so that it packs an even bigger punch. Stilllaid­back but underpinned by serious power and the best handling in the class. This is a cruiser with a dark side.

ENGINEPerformanceWe took the 1597cc parallel twin from the Thunderbird and boosted its capacity to 1699cc with 3.3mm biggerpistons in huge, 107.1mm bores. So the Thunderbird Storm does have a classic­looking engine that packs a mightypunch, but that power is delivered smoothly thanks to twin balance shafts.The result of the Thunderbird Storm’s bigger engine is more power at 98PS. And an even higher peak torque at115lb.ft right down at 2,950rpm with more torque across the rev range. So it delivers instant thrust when you twistthe throttle, even at very low rpm.

ConfigurationDespite the air­cooled appearance, the Thunderbird Storm engine is liquid­cooled. We placed its radiatorunobtrusively between the frame downtubes and the fat, twin exhaust headers.And there's plenty more 21st century technology tucked away too, like our highly accurate sequential fuel injectionsystem with its progressive throttle linkage so you get power predictably and smoothly.We added double overhead camshafts and a crankshaft with 270 degree firing intervals, to give you an engine withauthentic cruiser character. Whilst the fuelling is looked after by a sequential fuel injection system and progressivethrottle linkage so your engine delivers its torque exactly the way you expect.

Blacked OutThe Thunderbird Storm has a big black engine with upright cylinders and machined cooling fin edges to helpdefine its imposing shape.Many other parts of the Thunderbird Storm are black. Including the rear springs and headlight bowls.

Belt DriveThe final drive is an inverted tooth belt with carbon fibre strands to give it a higher tensile strength than steel.While the pulleys have a patented ultra­hard coating that minimises wear so that the whole belt drive system needsvery little attention. It's really quiet and clean too.

6 Speed Gear BoxThe transmission uses a six­speed gearbox with a tall top ratio for relaxed highway cruising and exceptional fuelefficiency.

Fuel efficiencyWe gave the Thunderbird Storm double overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder, along with a very tall topratio in the six­speed transmission for a great ride and to help the fuel economy. Even at 75mph you get almost50mpg, as good as some commuter bikes.

CHASSISSuspensionWe gave the Thunderbird Storm fat 47mm diameter forks with plenty of travel at 120mm. And the rear shocks areadjustable for spring preload so you can set the bike up to suit your load or riding style.

HandlingWe used all of our engineering expertise in making the geometry just right, so the Thunderbird Storm steers asgreat as it looks. Even at low speeds. And it has to be extremely stable when going faster, yet amazingly agilewhen you ask it to change direction rapidly. So you get a bike that’s responsive, even in the tight, low speedmanoeuvres that some cruisers make hard work of.

BrakesWe wanted plenty of stopping power to match the engine on the Thunderbird Storm. So you get a pair of four­piston callipers at the front to scrub off speed in an instant and give great feedback, backed up by ABS as standard.

Riding PositionYou get a feeling of control on the Thunderbird Storm, with forward­sited footrests and controls and wide, pulled­back bars for a spacious, comfortable riding position. Comfortable enough for much more than a quick trip intotown or a Sunday spin.And, even though the passenger seat detaches to enhance the lean looks of the bike when riding solo, it's stillcomfortable and relaxed enough for a pillion. The high quality suspension being more than enough to keep theride plush and stable even when there are two people on board.

FrameWe built the twin spine, steel tube frame of the Thunderbird Storm to be exceptionally stiff. Then we reinforced itwith the engine itself, making it a stressed component of the chassis for even more agility.

Wheels and TyresWe’ve fitted Metzeler tyres to five­spoke cast aluminium wheels that, not only look the part in their black finish, butare light for sharper handling.Tyres are fat with a wide 200 section dominating the rear view and are mounted on modern five­spoke alloywheels ­ black finished, of course.

Seat HeightWith a seat just 700mm from the ground, you’ll find the Thunderbird Storm very accessible for such a big bike.
