A strong, illing engine, efined chassis, owerful looks and broad riding position give our new Thunderbird Commander the power and presence to dominate any road. Based on our original Thunderbird, he Commander easily impresses riders and onlookers with its classic cruiser style, remium feel and the world’s largest capacity parallel twin engine. And being a Triumph, t’s a cruiser that also gives you day-long comfort, racticality, haracter and, n top of all that, uperb handling. There’s no compromise here.

Styling

• Engine: With machined engine fins and chrome covers contrasting against the deep black barrels and crankcases. Like the rest of the Commander, his engine was designed to have impact on the eye as well as the road.
• Chassis: The Thunderbird Commander is bold all over. We took the engine’s dominant styling and continued the theme across the entire bike with the quality and level of detailing you’d only expect from a Triumph cruiser. A massive polished top yoke and polished stainless steel fork shrouds, ignature Triumph twin headlamps, espoke Commander badges and Art Deco LED tail light and rear indicator assembly all combine for a powerful, ow, ean, leek custom cruiser look.

Engine

• Configuration: Being a Triumph, he Thunderbird Commander is packed full of modern engineering. We added double overhead camshafts and a crankshaft with 270 degree firing intervals, o give you an engine with authentic cruiser character. Whilst the fuelling is looked after by a sequential fuel injection system and progressive throttle linkage so your engine delivers its torque exactly the way you expect.
• Belt Drive: We gave the Commander a belt final drive for low maintenance and long life.
• Overview: The world’s largest capacity parallel twin motorcycle engine. As based on the original Thunderbird parallel twin. The beating heart of the new Commander generates an organic, orque-rich riding experience unmatched for sheer grunt and ease-of-use.
• Performance: a pair of saucer-sized forged pistons, he 1699cc eight-valve, OHC engine’s uneven 270° firing interval and long-stroke design produces a potent 94PS (93bhp) at 5400rpm and a huge 151Nm (111 lb.ft) of torque at a lowly 3550rpm, iving the Commander bags of twin-cylinder character.
• Transmission: Developed and refined by our engineers so that the Commander gives you performance through a seamless, natch-free transmission.

Chassis

• Overview: We used all of our engineering expertise in making the geometry just right, o the Thunderbird Commander steers as beautifully as it looks. Even at low speeds. And it has to be extremely stable when going faster, et amazingly agile when you ask it to change direction rapidly. So you get a bike that’s responsive, ven in the tight, ow speed man oeuvres. There’s no handling compromise when you choose a Triumph cruiser. We built the Thunderbird Commander to look mean and as well as put a smile on your face.
• 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 Commander is no exception to that rule.
• Wheels and Tires: Fat-section 140/75 17-inch front and 200/50 17-inch rear tires running on diamond-turned cast wheels.
• Suspension: The Commander’s handling is further enhanced by a chassis specification worthy of sportier bikes. It features shrouded 47mm Showa forks, win 5-way preload adjustable Showa rear shocks, ith optimized dual-rate springs, eeping you isolated from bumps but in touch with the road.
• Brakes: Four-pot Nissin calipers on 310mm floating discs up front and a single Brembo caliper and 310mm disc at the rear.
• Handling: From the moment you roll forward on the Thunderbird Commander, ou’ll notice that handling control is a priority, ot an afterthought. Light, eutral steering belies the width of the tires, iving the rider form and function in one package. The parallel twin engine’s compact weight distribution means the centre of gravity is focused in front and below your knees, iving the Commander a gentle, ven tilt into turns.
• Footboards: The Thunderbird Commander gives you high quality foot-boards made from chromed high-pressure die-cast aluminium, eaturing replaceable skid plates and an adjustable heel/toe gear lever.
• 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.
• Tank: A massive 22 litres fuel tank with off-center filler cap.
• Instruments: Tank-mounted dash console including classic analogue-style speedometer, fuel gauge and an LCD with range-to-empty, win trips, dometer and clock functions, onveniently scrollable via a handlebar-mounted button.
• Silencer: Twin, traight-cut drainpipe silencers so wherever you ride you’ll be accompanied by the Commander’s stirring exhaust note, pecially tuned for pitch perfect progress.
