The run has been nothing less than brilliant with 8 functional dealerships successfully selling over 835 motorcycles (Bookings and Retails). The excitement and enthusiasm we have seen for Triumph has been inspiring to say the least! The launch of Thunderbird LT stems from the kind of response we get from our patrons and brand enthusiasts via dealers or social networks.

We have realized that there is an inherent need for premium cruisers among the Indian audience, they are looking to travel and explore the lovely country side and that’s where Thunderbird LT fits in. It is classic cruiser with great looks, superb performance, handling, and class leading comfort.. With an attractive price it is sure to take the country by ‘Storm’!
