In 2014, the America offered a little more custom. A series of elements to please more, that is not refused, even more when one is English with the American accent. Chrome? With pleasure, to adorn the battery cover as well as the chain and clutch housings. A little bit of machining on the cooling fins of the twin to notice it, new silencers to improve its singing. Let’s finish the owner’s tour by discovering rubber knee guards on the tank, the exchange of toe clips for footrests and the improvement of the foot controls: an enlarged brake pedal and a dual-branch selector..

In the Triumph cruiser range, the America is the first Englishman of the revival to have adopted a very American look. Since then, the Rocket III and the Thunderbird have broadened the horizon. As a result, America becomes the smallest, but also the cheapest and most accessible of Hinckley customs. A few changes are to its credit for 2011, just to refresh it a bit (it has only evolved mechanically since its release in 2001).

Ergonomically, the rider sits lower because the saddle drops to 690 mm. A more rearward handlebars and forward controls allow for a cooler riding position. The front rim goes from 18 “to 16” while adopting a wider tire. A few touches of cheerful look: a new headlight, a bus-shaped speedometer, elongated mirrors and indicators that move from the handlebars to the fork. Insensitive to the diplomatic V-Twin, the America (like the Speedmaster and the Thunderbird) entrusts its dynamic performance to a parallel-twin. Here, we find as on the previous generation the 865 cm3 and its 61 horses. Same engine and same weight … Driving should only change thanks to the new profile of the front rim. When the price, it slowly moves away from 9,000 euros.
