2014 Triumph America LTFrom a cross-town hop to an intercontinental tour, he America LT will take you there in style. Based on the engine, hassis and legendary styling of our America, he LT adds a layer of touring capability and an enviable range of factory fitted extras designed to make those longer distances a breeze. All the while maintaining the traditional deep chrome and polished detailing demanded of a classic cruiser, f course.Standard Features May Include:EngineBuilt to be ridden, ot just to look good. The America’s 865cc parallel-twin puts out a healthy 61PS with strong torque at low revs, eaking at 72Nm at just 3300rpm. Ideal for urban cruising at low revs but with enough muscle for serious long distances at motorway speeds, ven with a passenger or luggage on board.This vertical twin is a true original. Drawing on our heritage from fifties and sixties parallel twins and coupling that with modern technology and build standards, he engine in the America has a laid-back riding character that’s unique to the cruiser world.Straight away people notice the America’s unmistakably British style. Its pair of cylinders stand upright and proud and make a powerful statement. And, eing air-cooled there’s no radiator to spoil the view.SuspensionWith forks raked out at a shallow angle and feature polished shrouding and silver legs that match the chrome springs and covers of the laid-down, win rear shocks. The America’s suspension works hard to provide laid-back comfort and road feedback in true cruiser style.HandlingLong, ow and stable like a cruiser should be.Everything about the America’s chassis is focussed on balance and we’ve matched each component carefully to maintain that steady, ntuitive feel.As a result, t’s agile enough for an exciting ride when the road gets interesting and is more capable through the corners than most of its rivals.It’s so well-balanced that it is ideal for inexperienced riders as well as a satisfying cruise for those with a lot of miles behind them.BrakesNever too sharp or intimidating, raking is looked after by single discs front and rear to provide plenty of stopping force, hilst maintaining the overall balance of the chassis so every moment of your ride is confident and controlled.Wheels and TiresThe cast aluminium wheels are small in diameter. 16 and 15 inches front and rear and fitted with chunky, eep sidewall tires for a classic cruiser look and a more comfortable cushioned ride.Seat HeightA seat height of just 690mm makes the America easy to control when gliding through traffic or parking. In fact, he set-up suits many riders that find other bikes too tall. Whatever your height though, asy positioning of the bars, eat and footrests means you’ll quickly find your most relaxed and comfortable cruising posture.Riding PositionAs a pure unadulterated cruiser, our riding position should be upright, laid back and spacious. But never at the expense of comfort and sheer riding pleasure. So the America’s bars hang high and wide but are also pulled back so that the controls are closer to you. And we’ve set the footrests far enough forward for comfort, ithout being too much of a stretch. Putting you in firm, onfident control of your bike during busy urban riding or long-distance travel.FootboardsHigh-quality aluminium foot-boards and removable skid plates come with a classic heel/toe gear shift, ositioning the rider’s feet for maximum comfort and control.SaddlebagsAt the back, he America LT’s generous leather panniers are showerproof and come with metal buckles over durable, asy-to-use plastic clips.
