Triumph Motorcycles drives in updated Bonneville bike range

New Delhi, Apr 01 (PTI): British premium motorcycle maker Triumph Motorcycles on Thursday said it has launched an updated range of Bonneville bikes in India, priced between Rs 7.95 lakh and Rs 11.75 lakh (ex-showroom).
The new Street Twin is priced at Rs 7.95 lakh, Street Twin Gold Line is tagged at Rs 8.25 lakh, Bonneville T120 and Bonneville T120 Black at Rs 10.65 lakh each, Bonneville T100 at Rs 9.29 lakh while Bonneville Speedmaster at Rs 11.75 lakh. All the models in the 2021 Bonneville range are BS-VI compliant.
“The modern classics (Bonneville range) are very important to our portfolio as they contribute around 50 per cent of our overall sales. We launch the first set of 2021 Bonneville’s in India and we have plans to further strengthen the range in the coming days,” Triumph Motorcycles India Business Head Shoeb Farooq said in a statement. Also, for the first time the company is bringing a special edition within the modern classic range to India with the Street Twin Gold Line Edition, he added.
“Only 30 Street Twin Gold Line Edition bikes will be available in India out of the 1,000 being produced globally. This is one of the five special editions that we will be launching in India in 2021 across the range,” Farooq noted.
The 2021 Bonneville T100 that has received small, yet significant updates. Chief among these updates is a Euro 5 (BS6) compliant engine, new suspension and new wheels. The 900cc twin-cylinder engine makes 10hp more than its predecessor and that translates to 65hp at 7,400rpm. Peak torque is 80Nm at 3,750rpm only, but more importantly, 80 percent of it is available from 2,000rpm, and all the way up to 7,000rpm.
On the Speedmaster, Triumph has also worked towards making the 1,200cc twin-cylinder engine more responsive. It also runs a higher specification fork for 2021, which is said to have improved the comfort. Lastly, the bike can also be had in new colour options.
Triumph has also introduced the Bonneville Street Twin in a new Gold Line trim that is limited to 1,000 units globally. Out of these, 30 units will make it to our shores. While the motorcycle is mechanically identical to the standard 2021 Street Twin, the ‘Gold Line’ features a unique Matt Sapphire Black paint scheme with the knee recesses on the tank area painted in a contrasting white. It also gets a new side panel which includes a custom Street Twin logo, a Triumph heritage logo and hand-painted gold lining. You’ll see a similar gold pin stripe on the machined wheels as well.
