Triumph Bonneville T100 has received an update for MY2021. The revised version of the British brand’s modern classic motorcycle has been launched in the Indian market. It is lighter and more powerful than its predecessor.
The new Triumph Bonneville T100’s biggest
update has to be the engine. Even though it is the same 900 cc, twin-cylinder
motor, it has been tinkered around to pump out more power and also comply with
the latest and stricter emission regulations. So, in its new BS6 version, this
engine produces 65 PS of max power at 7400 rpm which is 10 PS more than what it
used to churn out in its BS4 state of tune. As for the torque, we have 80 Nm
kicking in at 3750 rpm. Triumph Motorcycles say that 80% of this twisting force
is available from as low as 2000 rpm and remains intact till 7000 rpm.
Apart from making the engine of the 2021
Bonneville T100 cleaner and more powerful, Triumph Motorcycles have also used
new components to make the powerplant lighter. Thanks to the low inertia crankshaft,
lighter balancer shafts, thin-walled clutch cover and magnesium cam cover, the
engine of the new T100 is considerably lighter than that of the previous model,
thus, significantly contributing to the overall 4 kg weight reduction in the new
motorcycle. This also helps in improving the two-wheeler’s handling.
The 2021 Triumph Bonneville T100 also
features a new and higher-spec front suspension, wheels, and a Brembo braking
system at the front. In terms of electronics, the latest generation ABS and switchable
traction control is present. And for the cosmetics, we have a new instrument
dial face and other beautiful and authentic styling details throughout.
As for the pricing, the 2021 Triumph
Bonneville T100 retails at INR 9.29 lakh (ex-showroom). It is available in 3
colours - the Lucerne Blue and Fusion White scheme with hand-painted silver
coach lines, a sleek, single-tone Jet Black option, and Carnival Red and Fusion
White with hand-painted silver coach lines.
