Quite discreet in, Triumph offers in Milan "only" deeply improved in terms of "real" new. A small understandable drop in speed after several years of major renewal, but two special series, the Rocket X and the Thunderbird Nightstorm, are also presented at EICMA, as well as produced in-house.
Rocket x
The Rocket X is a very limited version (500 copies) created by Triumph for the 10th anniversary of its production motorcycle, the 3-cylinder of which still offers the largest displacement in the world (2294 cc)..
The shiny black shade is crafted by custom paint specialist 8 Ball, who applies no less than 6 coats of lacquer and polishes twice to achieve a particularly neat smooth finish.
The exhaust, handlebars and mirrors are also dyed black, while silver piping is hand applied to the 5-spoke rims … black, of course !
The Rocket X also receives a number plate and a specific badge in aluminum cut in the mass, while a hollow saddle and a small windshield complete the dark look of this developing some 221 Nm of torque at 2750 rpm !
Thunderbird Nighstorm
Like the Rocket X, the Thunderbird Nightstorm is a special edition featuring black color, embellished with airbrushed gray flames on the tank.
The British "thunder bird" also sees most of its chrome covered with a black tint, like its handlebars, mirrors or even its turntables.
Finally, the Thunderbird Nightstorm inherits an embossed logo and a new saddle bringing "a touch of style and additional comfort", ensures Triumph which evokes an availability in spring 2015 for these two special series.
Discover below the promotional video of the Thunderbird Nightstorm, accompanied by a very "American" soundtrack, reminding those who have forgotten which flower beds Triumph intends to walk with its custom equipped with a twin cylinder parallel of 1597cc (read in particular our) !
