The design of the new Bonneville T120 is inspired by the legendary ’59 Bonneville. The new T120 has been crafted to incorporate more of the original’s DNA and iconic styling cues, detailing and features. From the overall Bonneville silhouette, to the sculpted flowing lines of the fuel tank, the intricately detailed badges, lights and stunning twin clocks, the new T120 is a timeless icon, beautifully evolved.

Triumph Motorcycles also says that Bonneville T120 features a wealth of original detailing and a new level of standard equipment. The list of equipment include deep chrome multi-piece badges, grab rail and wheel rims, centre stand, heated grips and innovative twin skinned chrome exhaust headers and peashooter style silencers – developed specifically to minimise heat discoloration and deliver that authentic ‘straight through’ pipe run.

The new T120 comes equipped with a new 1200cc high torque, 8 valve parallel twin engine. The engine is said to deliver a 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 270° firing interval for a smooth, linear power delivery. The engine profile has been crafted to incorporate key heritage styling cues from the legendary 60’s Bonneville bikes. The finish has also been taken to a new high standard, with brushed aluminium engine covers, with bronze detailing, on the T120.

Behind the new 1200 engine’s stylish exterior sits the latest liquid cooling system, integrated to minimise its visual impact whilst achieving cleaner emissions and enhancing fuel efficiency. An all-new peashooter style exhausts, follow a clean ‘straight line run’ achieved through an twin skin design that covers the pipe run through the cat box and out again.
