BSA is ready to take on the adventure market with the reveal of the new BSA Thunderbolt. The brand’s fourth bike, set to hit the market mid-2026, will thrive on every kind of terrain, from city streets to gravel tracks, through rain, mud, and dust. The modern BSA Thunderbolt is for weekday commutes and weekend adventures, both near and far.

Featuring rugged aesthetics including a rally-style beak and rear rack, the newest model is geared up for full throttle escapades with premium traction control and three ABS modes (Rain, Road, Off-Road). Additionally it offers a preload adjustable mono shock rear suspension, slip and assist clutch, and an upswept exhaust for better water wading capabilities.

When standing on the pegs is the best way to tackle the terrain, the adjustable front windscreen and instrument console ensures no compromises. The low seat height, lightweight design and wide handlebars delivers class-leading manoeuvrability for all riders, with added assurance of high ground clearance, a reinforced bash plate, exoskeleton frame and knuckle guards for protection, if needed.

Promising power and efficiency, the high torque Euro 5+ compliant 334cc liquid-cooled DOHC single cylinder engine, provides compelling performance with a six-speed gearbox and a large fuel tank perfect for longer journeys. Whilst additional space allows for a pillion and luggage – encouraging riders to go further and explore for longer.
