Triumph Bonneville – Reborn.
The timeless style and iconic character of the original Bonneville is reborn in the Bonneville T120 and T120 Black. Crafted with the highest standard of detailing, quality and finish, powered by the all-new 1200cc ‘high torque’ Bonneville engine, and fed by beautiful authentically styled twin throttle bodies, the T120 and T120 Black are built to deliver more torque lower down and across the rev range. Authentic peashooter exhausts deliver the unmistakeable sound of a British twin.
Both feature all-new chassis and suspension, developed for refined all day riding with or without a passenger, and combine Triumph’s signature ride dynamic of neutrality, agility and stability with advanced levels of capability and comfort.
The Bonneville T120 and T120 Black are two of the five exciting motorcycles in the new Bonneville family – all with 100% authentic Bonneville character, truly modern capability and performance.
New 1200cc ‘high torque’ engine
Built specifically for the modern classic riding style, with immediate and exciting power delivery, it produces a peak torque figure of 105Nm at a low 3100 rpm – an amazing 54% more than the previous generation. With the pinpoint accuracy and instant throttle response of Triumph’s next generation ride-by-wire fuel-injection and engine management system, the six-speed 1200 Bonneville engine is engineered with a charismatic tone and 270° firing interval for a smooth, linear power delivery.
The engine profile has been crafted to incorporate key heritage styling cues from 60’s Bonneville bikes, incorporating contemporary components to maintain the iconic engine silhouette. The finish is of universally high standard, with brushed aluminium engine covers with bronze detailing on the T120, and black engine covers with machined aluminium detailing on the T120 Black.
A cutting-edge liquid cooling system is carefully integrated to minimise visual impact whilst achieving cleaner emissions and enhancing fuel efficiency. All-new elegant peashooter style exhausts follow a clean ‘straight line run’ – achieved through an ingenious twin skin design that covers the pipe run through the cat box and out again – and deliver the true sound of a British twin, with a deep and rich exhaust note that matches the T120’s character.
