The British Legend - Triumph have launched 7 bikes for the Indian market at the Auto Expo 2012.

• Triumph's Indian model range will start from INR 5,50,000.
• A few of the models will be assembled in India via CKD resulting in duty savings to be passed on to the consumers.
• The brand is looking at establishing 3-4 dealerships this year with a plan to set up 10-12 dealerships within next three years.
• At present, two years unlimited mileage warranty is included as standard.
• All pricing announced today was guideline pricing, however, it should be fairly indicative of the final price.

Bonneville
INR 5,50,000 (ex-showroom)

• This is, for many people, the most iconic Triumph of all time.
• Powered by an air-cooled, DOHC, 865cc parallel twin engine.
• In this age of digital instrumentation, the analogue speedometer adds to the classic character.
• It generates maximum power of 67 BHP @ 7500 rpm and maximum torque of 68 Nm @ 5800 rpm.

Thanks to jalsa777 for all the pictures

Street Triple
INR 5,75,000 (ex-showroom)

• This is a naked sports bike powered by a liquid cooled, in-line 3 Cylinder 675cc engine.
• The Street Triple has been extremely successful in the middleweight naked sports bike class ever since it was introduced in 2008.
• Delivers 105 BHP @ 11700 rpm and 68 Nm @ 9200 rpm.
• It has a Daytona 675-derived sports chassis

Daytona
INR 7,00,000 (ex-showroom)

• The Daytona has a liquid cooled, 12 valve, in-line 3-cylinder 675cc engine, mated to a 6-speed box.
• It churns out 124 BHP of power @ 12600 rpm and 72 Nm of torque @ 11700 rpm.
• Fully-adjustable 41 mm inverted front forks and rear mono-shock
• Wide range of performance accessories available
• The twin headlamps and a air-vent in between gives a very sporty feel from the front end. Also the under-seat exhaust is very good to look at from the rear.

Tiger 800XC
INR 11,40,000 (ex-showroom)

• The Tiger has a smooth long stroke 3-cylinder engine
• The 21" front wheel and long suspension emphasizes on its off-road abilities.
• Powered by a 799cc in-line 3-cylinder engine.
• Power output is 94 BHP and 79 Nm of torque.
• The ride height might discourage shorter riders, since the seat is placed quite high, as it is more suitable for off-roading.
• This one being a true off-roader from Triumph's end, it gets spoked wheels and not alloys.

Speed Triple
INR 8,00,000 (ex-showroom)

• Has a all new chassis for this generation
• It is 3 kgs lighter than the previous generation Speed Triple.
• The New Speed Triple also has the latest generation ECU software and modified exhaust system.
• 1050cc in-line 3-cylinder liquid cooled engine.
• Produces 133 BHP of power and 111 Nm of torque.
• The Diablo Red colour on display gathered much more attention than the other bikes.
• An ABS option has made its appearance for the first time on the Speed Triple

Rocket III Roadster
INR 22,00,000 (ex-showroom)

• The Rocket III has always been known as the world’s largest engined mass production motorcycle, with a 2.3 litre three-cylinder engine!
• With 221 Nm of torque at just 2750 rpm, this one sure is a hardcore cruiser bike.
• The 2.3 Litre engine also generates 146 BHP of power @ 5750 rpm.
• It was the eye-candy at the Triumph stall, since it had a massive presence amongst all the other bikes.
• The Rocket III has a shaft drive.
• When fired up, this sounds like a super sports bike - unlike the usual cruisers which have a *thumping* exhaust note.

Storm
INR 17,00,000 (ex-showroom)

• Its T-16 engine produces 97 BHP of power and 159 Nm of torque.
• Unlike the Bonneville's 360 degree firing interval, the Storm with its liquid cooled, DOHC parallel-twin engine has a 270 degree firing interval.
• The Storm is driven by a Toothed Belt.
• It has four-piston brakes with optional ABS
• The tank mounted speedo includes a clock, two trip meters and fuel gauge, in addition to a small and stylish tachometer.
• A range of almost 100 accessories are available for the Storm, giving owners the chance to personalise their bikes to meet their own needs and tastes.

Oh Wow! Can't stop drooling and wait for the official prices to be announced. Then I can sigh and start saving to buy one of these beauties in a couple of years time!

Oh god a 2.3 litre 3 cylinder engine. That is massive. Love its looks but god forbid, what happens if the stand slips and falls on the side. Someone's leg is bound to break plus it will be very difficult to pick it up.

All the bikes look great. Everyone knows Harley so Harley has a sales advantage due to its visibility among many people. Unless a person is a hardcore bike enthusiast, he will not know Tirumph motorcycles and thats where the problem lies. Would be interesting to see their marketing strategy here in India

I don't see how the daytona is priced at ONLY 7 lakhs !!!

Thanks parrys for the beautiful pictures. Awesome coverage!

Beats me too! I keep pinching myself you know :D

Triumph now has a great advantage in the supersport category. The Japs, if and whenever they launch their supersport steeds now have something to factor in. Not to forget the first mover advantage.

I truly wish Triumph the best of luck. They deserve to gain a market share for their awesome line up.

Parrys , you are the man. Awesome job putting all the info together. Coming to the bikes , a Bonneville for 5.5 lakhs. I am booking one right away. Will compliment my busa perfectly. What classic British lines on that thing. The rest of the lineup looks promising too. I really hope these guys do well in our country.

Heyy, even i am very excited to see a Bonneville on the road.
All bikes from the Triumph stable would be out by September as per the sources.

If i had the money, I would surely buy a Bonneville for its Classic cult design and how it still manages to get riders all intrested in it.

Pictures were actually clicked by Jalsa777.
And yes about the Japs, Honda / Yamaha / Suzuki have to think twice before pricing their 600cc bikes in India.
Because if Triumph with its reputation has managed to break through at such a appealing price, these guys should not be too optimistic and price it way too optimistically.
I hope they atleast start planning to bring in the CBR600 RR / R6 / GSX-R 600

One look and I am in love with Bonneville. Yes this bike does pull the strings.
Sadly I cannot afford it.

OT: Sometimes I cannot but wonder how we have been enjoying the look-a-likes of classics without even knowing it.
I never knew that Tata Sumo was so influenced by the Legend, Mercedes G Wagen.
And now I see that we already had Rajdoots and Yezdi having similar lines as Bonneville.
