There is a spirit of optimism in our halls
A new style is shaping our scene, and with it we are shaping a new language!
Harley’s Low Rider S has the 117cc engine, a whopping 1923 cubic centimeters of displacement. In there, 105 horses pound away and deliver a torque of 168 Newton meters at 3500 rpm. So much for the figures.
You should have ridden this chariot to agree with our boss Andreas, who simply calls it “a lot of powder”. It’s probably no coincidence that it also starts with “P”, as in performance, which stands for the current renaissance of club style, where it’s not just about having lots of power, but also a chassis that lets you dance over the asphalt.
Perfect basis for performance
Harley’s Dyna was once responsible for the club style with its classic two-sided swingarm and the two linked suspension struts. Since the company no longer has any Dynas in its range, the Low Rider S and Low Rider ST offer the perfect basis for club-style performance bikes.
It’s not just a question of taste as to whether you prefer the massive, frame-mounted FXRT-style fairing or the sporty handlebar shell of the Low Rider S. It’s also a question of your style. It’s also a question of your style. The version with a lightweight shell and without a case is of course the sportier one, and so we have designed the Low Rider S in our “TRP Pro” version to be even sportier.
Thundertalk with Lance David Arnold and Andreas Bergerforth about our new Racing Performance Clubstyle Performance Bikes.
Our “Pro Performance” swingarm has mounts for the lifting device. It is very easy to attach and allows the rear wheel to turn freely
What cannot be seen are the generous rear millings of the “Pro Performance” swingarm, which is therefore lighter than the original.
The upside-down fork is not only DLC-coated, which stands for “Diamond like Carbon” and certainly delivers the best gliding and response behavior currently available. It also has a larger axle clamp and, above all, accommodates the radial brakes for our 340 millimeter brake discs. They now decelerate a 21-inch GT wheel at the front.
The new fork base is adapted to the large radius of the “Floated Spoke” brake disc and, in combination with the Brembo Monoblock brake calipers, offers stable braking behavior.
Counterpoint to the sporty appearance
Incidentally, we also supply all milled chassis parts in anodized gold tones, the elegance of which provides a fascinating counterpoint to the sporty appearance. Chiko’s pinstriping in the paintwork has set the appropriate accents, which are not obtrusive, but still a real eye-catcher.
The triple clamps come from our “Pro Performance” line, as already mentioned in gold. Milled from the solid, of course. Above them are seven-inch “Clubstyle” risers, hollow for internal cable routing, and our new butted handlebars called “Club”. Everything for better handling, but also for a confident posture.
The step-up seat guarantees that you won’t fly off the saddle if you jump the clutch.

The highlight of the rear
And now to the highlight of the rear end: it is once again unmistakably our “Pro Performance” swingarm! Milled from a solid piece, and above all with deep rear milling on the inside – and therefore lighter than the original. This swingarm also has the brake anchor mounted under the axle for our large-format radial brakes. This may not seem so important at the rear, but it is. Andreas knows that Harley riders like to brake at the rear. Everything has to be just right there too, especially the performance.
We have a say in racing!
That’s what bikers want nowadays, says Andreas. Customers are asking for “performant things”, and the English term “performance” has quickly become a German term. We assume that it will remain in our language. Performance will not be a flash in the pan.
And when it comes to racing, we can have our say anyway. Here’s Andreas again in full: “A scene is developing that values performance. We are experiencing a demand for high-performance things. I have a bit of a history in racing and feel quite comfortable there.”
In all modesty: we proved that we are on the right track with our victory in the Dealer class in the first round of the European Clubstyle Contest at the Custombike Show in Bad Salzuflen. Andreas had not yet revealed what the letters of the name “TRP Pro” stand for during the award ceremony on stage. We reveal it now: “Thunderbike Racing Performance”. You’ll be reading the letters here more often.
