Triumph entered the Indian market riding in on its Bonneville range. Later on, it brought in other products as well, after scrutinizing the market. The Bonneville range consists of retro-styled motorcycles with a touch of modern elements. The phrase ‘Retro is the new cool’ stands true even when it comes to modern motorcycles. Not just ‘old school’ veteran motorcyclists are fond of modern retro motorcycles but the millennial lot is also loving the idea of retro charm fused with modern technology. And in the premium motorcycle segment, the Triumph Bonneville leads the charge.
