Triumph Motorcycles is a very successful British brand with over 100 years of history. Since its inception, Triumph has always had its own distinctive appeal and a history of creating bikes that become design classics and record holders, chosen by famous motorcyclists of the past for legendary handling, style, and character.
The new Bonneville model line up
The new generation of Bonneville was a four-year project that started from the ground up, calling on an unprecedented scale of design, engineering and manufacturing skills. The Street Twin is Triumph Motorcycles' most contemporary, fun and accessible model, powered by an all-new high torque 900cc engine. With its unique character, distinctive sound, stripped-back styling and dynamic riding experience, the new Street Twin is the perfect Bonneville for today's rider and the perfect starting point for personalisation. Its 900cc high torque engine delivers a massive peak torque figure of 80Nm at a low 3200 rpm – which is an amazing 18% more than the previous generation, delivered low down and across the whole rev range.
The timeless style and iconic character of the original 1959 model is reborn in the classy and authentic Bonneville T120 and effortlessly cool Bonneville T120 Black. Both are crafted to the highest standard of detailing, quality and finish, and matched by the capability and performance of a truly modern classic. They are powered by the all-new Bonneville 1200cc high torque engine, enhanced by beautiful, authentically-styled, twin throttle bodies.
The new 1200cc Thruxton and Thruxton R are the real deal. With genuine poise, power and performance, they are the ultimate modern classic cafe racers. Both with beautifully imposing and authentic styling, they have the power, braking, performance and handling to live up to their legendary name.
More Beautiful and More Capable
The new motorcycles are more refined, sharper, tighter and crafted, applying styling cues faithfully taken from the classic Bonneville bikes, such the 1968 Bonneville and the 1959 original. The inclusion of rider-focused technology has been implemented with care to deliver an engaged and safer ride, without compromising the style or character of the bikes - this includes ABS, traction control, slip assist clutch, ride-by-wire throttle and rider modes (T120, T120 Black, Thruxton R and Thruxton), distinctive LED rear lights on all models and LED DRL headlights on all the 1200s (where legislation allows), USB charging socket and an engine immobiliser.
A completely new, ground up chassis design unique to each motorcycle, incorporates all-new suspension and geometry, so all of the new models deliver stunning handling, stability and neutrality tailored to the style and character of each motorcycle, making them easier to ride for longer. This is particularly true when combined with the light action of the new slip assist clutch.
More ways to make your own Bonneville yours
The new Bonneville custom accessories range is also being launched, with over 470 stylish, high- quality accessories. This includes new exhausts from Vance & Hines and a garage full of custom-inspired parts, from mudguard removal kits, to bench seats and beautiful compact bullet indicators, to name a few. To make it easier, a set of exciting 'inspiration' kits was created to use as the starting point for riders to create their own Bonneville custom, or to have fitted by their Triumph dealer.
