A pair of wide, ramatically splayed exhaust pipes dominate the LT’s front three-quarter profile with their classic ‘header-run’ following a straight line from the throttle bodies through to the headers. Our parallel twin heritage for all to see and admire.

Engine

• Overview: The motive force at the heart of the new Thunderbird LT is the World’s largest parallel twin motorcycle engine, s found in the existing Thunderbird Storm and based on the original Thunderbird.
• Sound: To match the quality of its ride, he LT’s tapered tri-oval exhaust cans aren’t just built to look good, hey’re especially tuned to give a rewarding, ich sound.
• Belt Drive: The Thunderbird LT has a belt drive for low maintenance and long life.
• Performance: At 1699cc, he LT’s eight-valve DOHC motor produces 94PS at 5400rpm and a whopping 151Nm of torque at a lowly 3550rpm. The enormous thrust from its pair of saucer-sized forged pistons and uneven, ong-stroke 270° firing interval create a classic big-twin feel, erfect for propelling the you over long distances with a natural, asy-going groove.
• Configuration: Whether crossing continents or on a Sunday morning run, he LT’s awesome engine potential is harnessed by a progressive throttle, ighly accurate fuel mapping, utting-edge sequential fuel injectors, positive six-speed gearbox. The result, rom the top end of first gear to the bottom end of top gear, s an unrivalled ride in this class.

Chassis

• Riding Position: No matter what you’ve ridden before, ou’ll feel instantly at ease with the LT, ble to relax and enjoy the ride for many thousands of miles to come.
• Suspension: Shrouded 47mm Showa forks and twin 5-way preload adjustable Showa rear shocks provide excellent feedback with supple control to ensure a quality ride over the harshest surfaces.
• Brakes: ABS-enabled four-pot Nissin calipers on 310mm floating discs up front and a single Brembo caliper and 310mm disc at the rear give sensitive, et powerful, raking under all conditions.
• Handling: The Thunderbird LT remains true to our core value of outstanding handling in all situations. As the result of careful development work on its steering geometry, he LT is no exception and delivers light, eutral steering, ow speed agility, et maintains stability at all speeds and in all types of conditions. Combined with a great degree of manageability, t’s an easy bike to ride for any rider.
• Wheels and Tires: Our engineers turned to British tire manufacturer Avon with whom we jointly developed the World’s first and only white-wall radial for the dramatic look of fat-section 150/80 16-inch front and 180/70 16-inch rear tires on wire 56-spoked rims.
• Frame: A dynamic engine with dynamic styling demands an equally dynamic chassis; one which reflects our belief that every bike, hatever its style, hould be agile yet stable, ave predictable, eutral steering and superior suspension and brakes. The Thunderbird LT is no exception to that rule.
• Footboards: The high quality rider and pillion foot-boards are made from chrome-plated, igh-pressure die-cast aluminium, eaturing replaceable skid plates and an adjustable heel/toe gear lever for the rider.
• ABS: Triumph’s anti-lock brake system comes as standard. and the ABS-assisted brakes ensure stopping is quick and efficient.
• Seat: Rider and pillion seat foam is a double-layer, ual-density material, oft and receptive on first feel but compressing to give a firmer, upportive yet pliant ride. The rider’s seat has also been especially shaped with wide, lared sides and a lumbar support to provide maximum comfort even at the end of a long day’s ride. The cover material contains a degree of elasticity so that it ‘gives’ as the seat compresses, aintaining the ideal shape and reducing uncomfortable pressure points.
