2017 Triumph Bonneville T100
Triumph Motorcycles has reintroduced the Bonneville
T100 at the ongoing 2016 INTERMOT motorcycle trade show in Germany. The T100
will slot in the iconic Bonneville range offering a diverse selection to its
prospective buyers. Triumph has lifted the engine from the Street Twin and
bolted it onto the chassis of a Bonneville T120 to form the Bonneville T100.
The British bike manufacturer will be offering the
new T100 in two trim options - Standard and T100 Black. For the Black variant,
the T100 comes with black wheels, blacked-out engine covers, and black
signature exhaust mufflers. The black theme further splits offering an option
to choose between a Matte Black or Jet Black colour scheme.
The Bonneville T100 will be
powered by 900 cc twin-mill that does duty in the Street Twin. The parallel-twin
develops 55 PS of max power at 5900 rpm and 80 Nm of peak torque at 3230rpm. The
Bonneville T100 gets all the electronic gadgetry offered on the T120 which
includes the traction control, ride-by-wire throttle and engine immobiliser.
The bike features an LED tail light, while the saddle makes use of a deeper
foam that Triumph claims to provide better comfort on long journeys.
The T100 is available in three dual-tone colour
schemes wherein the coach lines on the tank are hand painted. Apart from the
equipment available on the T100, Triumph Motorcycles offers 150 official
accessories to customise the motorcycle as per the buyer’s needs. Expect the
T100 to arrive at Indian shores soon and make its place between the Bonneville
T120 and Street Twin.
