Triumph Thunderbird Commander 2017

Triumph Thunderbird Commander 2017

The Triumph Thunderbird Commander can't keep up with the performance of the Ducati Diavel, but it surprises even more than the Italian with its agile performance. It's amazing how quickly you can zip around the bends in comparative stability despite the dragging running boards. When the going gets really tight, the Diavel is no longer any fun. In terms of looks, it goes the classic route with all its chrome and holds the flag high for the typical cruiser. In any case, we wouldn't want to miss either the Ducati Diavel or the Triumph Thunderbird Commander in the wide-ranging motorbike world!

Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster 2018

Even though the beach bar handlebars, the seat height of only 705 mm and the torque-heavy engine of the Triumph Speedmaster invite you to relax and glide with the classic cruiser, there is more speed in the latest Bonneville bike than you would expect. A 310 mm double-disc brake, generous suspension travel, adjustable levers as well as two riding modes and a traction control that can be switched off guarantee a rather sporty performance. But you really feel comfortable when you sit back and enjoy the deep roar of the British parallel twin - and maybe even let the cruise control do the work.

Dual front disc

rich torque
