Next-gen Triumph Bonneville family revealed

Triumph's iconic Bonneville range has received a refresh in the form of 5 new models, namely the Street Twin, Bonneville T120, Bonneville T120 Black, Thruxton and Thruxton R. Each new model gets a dedicated chassis and suspension package, and Triumph claims none of the components are shared with the current Bonneville range.

The depending on the model, the range also gets a host of new standard equipment, including a ride-by-wire throttle, ABS, traction control (which can be deactivated), a slipper clutch, an LED tail light, an LED headlight (in markets where it's allowed), an engine immobilizer and a USB charging socket. The headline though, would be the new range of liquid cooled engines powering the line-up.

Triumph hasn't revealed the complete specifications, but we do have the torque figures. The Street Twin gets Triumph's new 900cc "high torque" engine that delivers 80 Nm of torque @ 3,200 rpm, claimed to be 18% more than the outgoing generation Bonneville. The Bonneville T120 and T120 Black get a "high torque" 1,200cc engine that makes 105 Nm of torque @ 3,100 rpm, while the Thruxton makes the use of a "high power" 1,200cc mill that makes 112 Nm of torque @ 4,950 rpm.

Triumph has also added a new range of around 470 accessories including new Vance and Hines exhausts, mudguard removal kits, bench seats and compact "bullet" indicators. Triumph has manufacturing facilities in Hinckley, Leicestershire, and Thailand in addition to CKD facilities in India and Brazil. The brand manufactures around 54,500 units annually and has over 750 dealers worldwide.
