Triumph's first mainstream cruiser, built around a new 1597 cc liquid-cooled parallel twin with a 270-degree crank and balance shafts, driving the rear wheel by belt through a six-speed gearbox. It pairs a low seat and long, chrome-heavy cruiser styling with strong brakes and lighter-than-expected handling. ABS was optional and a large accessory range was offered. For 2011 a 1700 cc Storm variant with twin headlamps and mostly black parts was added to the range.
