Benefitting from the pinpoint accuracy and instant throttle response of Triumph’s next generation ride-by-wire fuel-injection and engine management system, the Bonneville Street Twin is engineered with a charismatic 270° firing interval for an immaculately smooth, linear power delivery through the smooth five-speed gearbox.

The look of the new 900cc engine has also been beautifully crafted, with stylish black engine cases and a very high level of detailing. Incorporating contemporary engine components alongside signature features from the iconic Bonneville engine to enhance that authentic Bonneville silhouette.

The five new models – Street Twin, Bonneville T120, Bonneville T120 Black, Thruxton and Thruxton R – herald the next chapter in the iconic Bonneville story and have been the focus of global attention since being launched in London and then showcased for the first time at EICMA, Milan.

Heralded at launch as more powerful, more capable and more beautiful, all five new Bonneville models have been developed from the ground-up and are powered by a new range of three Bonneville engines – a 900cc High Torque variant in the Street Twin, a 1200cc High Torque variant in the Bonneville T120 and Bonneville T120 Black and a High Power ‘Thruxton spec’ version in the Thruxton and range-topping Thruxton R. These are the first Bonnevilles to feature ABS, ride-by-wire throttle, traction control, liquid cooling, and, on the 1200cc models, twin disc braking on the front and rider modes. The new bikes are accompanied by the introduction of a new range of over 470 parts and accessories, along with a selection of ready-made inspiration kits, designed to enable every rider to easily truly personalise their bike.

The Street Twin, which features the 900cc High Torque Bonneville engine, offers an entry into the new range, and is available in Jet Black for $8,700 and the remaining paint colors including Aluminum Silver, Cranberry Red, Matte Black and Phantom Black for $8,950. The Street Twin is the perfect base for personalisation with over 150 dedicated accessories and three stunning inspiration kits that transform the Street Twin into a stripped back Brat Tracker, a Scrambler for the street or a city-inspired Street Twin Urban.

The iconic style and character of the original 1959 model is reborn in the authentically detailed Bonneville T120 and given a twist of contemporary cool in the Bonneville T120 Black. Both crafted to combine the capability and performance of a truly modern classic. The Bonneville T120 and T120 Black will be available in Jet Black for $11,500. The Bonneville T120 also comes in Cinder Red for $11,750 plus Cranberry Red & Aluminum Silver and Jet Black & Pure White paint duotones priced at $12,000.
