About

The Triumph Thunderbird, specifically the Storm and LT variants, is a cruiser designed for long-distance riding and comfort. The bike features a powerful 1699cc parallel twin engine, known for its linear torque spread and addictive power delivery. The Thunderbird Storm is distinguished by its unique twin headlights, massive 22-litre fuel tank, and a traditional cruiser design with ample chrome accents. The LT variant adds touring capabilities with leather saddle bags, a backrest for the pillion, and ABS as standard. The riding position is relaxed, with high handlebars and forward-set foot pegs, making it suitable for taller riders. The bike also boasts excellent braking performance with twin 310mm discs at the front and a 310mm disc at the rear, along with ABS.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Triumph Thunderbird, particularly the Storm and LT variants, is a formidable cruiser that stands out in the Indian market for its blend of power, comfort, and styling. While it is undoubtedly a big and heavy bike, it manages to feel surprisingly manageable for average-sized riders. However, the riding experience can be intimidating, especially in city traffic due to its size and weight. The Thunderbird excels in long-distance riding, offering a plush ride quality and ample comfort for both the rider and pillion. The engine, a 1699cc parallel twin, delivers relentless power and a distinctive soundtrack that cruiser enthusiasts will love. Despite its many strengths, the Thunderbird falls short in terms of specialness and brand appeal compared to its Harley-Davidson competitors, which might be a consideration for buyers seeking that exclusive cruiser experience.

Price

The Triumph Thunderbird Storm is priced at around Rs 13 lakh ex-showroom in Delhi. When you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other taxes, the price can escalate to approximately Rs 16-17 lakh. The Thunderbird LT, with its additional touring features, is priced slightly higher at around Rs 16.40 lakh ex-showroom. While these prices are significant, they reflect the bikes premium build quality, powerful engine, and the array of features that come with it. For those who value the unique blend of power and comfort that the Thunderbird offers, the price may be justified, but its certainly a consideration for buyers on a budget.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 07:35 PM The mileage of the Triumph Thunderbird is reasonable given its size and power output. With a 22-litre fuel tank, you can expect a tank range of around 400 kilometres, depending on riding conditions. This translates to a mileage of about 18-20 kml, which is decent for a cruiser of this caliber. While it may not be the most fuel-efficient option, the Thunderbirds mileage is manageable, especially if youre planning long-distance tours where the bikes comfort and performance shine.
