Triumph Motorcycles has launched the new Bonneville Street Twin in Mumbai at INR 7,21,710. According to Triumph, this is the British marque’s most contemporary new Bonneville; built to slot straight into today’s rider’s lifestyle. It’s built for fun, built to ride with a smile, and built for owners to customise.
Vimal Sumbly, MD, Triumph Motorcycles, India, said, ‘Modern classics are becoming more and more popular since people today are looking for character, style and fun. We are extremely thrilled to launch the motorcycles in the Mumbai market as it is one of the most mature cities for riders and biking enthusiasts. We have some of the most committed riding patrons from Mumbai who never fall short of exhibiting their loyalty of the brand Triumph. This is more motivating for us to give only the best to our customers. The Street Twin selected for India are a result of the feedback we received directly from our customers and are very sure of its success within the Mumbai market.’
Amar Seth, Dealer Principal, Shaman Triumph, said, ‘The Street Twin will definitely do great in Mumbai with its lethal combination of powerful performance and dynamic handling. With great weekend destinations around Mumbai, the city has no dearth of passionate riders and biking communities. The all-rounder Street Twin would be an instant favourite among the riders here.’
Powering the new Street Twin is an all-new 900cc ‘high torque’ 8 valve, parallel twin Bonneville engine. The engine churns out a peak torque figure of 80Nm at a low 3200 rpm, which is a bump of 18% compared to its predecessor. The engine also benefits from Triumph’s next generation ride-by-wire fuel-injection and engine management system, which promises smooth delivery through the five-speed gearbox.
The 900cc block also gets a liquid cooling system, carefully integrated to minimise its visual impact whilst achieving cleaner emissions and enhancing fuel efficiency – an amazing 36% better than the previous generation Bonneville.
The new Bonneville Street Twin includes following safety and comfort features:
- ABS
- Traction control
- Slip assist clutch
- Ride-by-wire
- LED rear light
- USB charge socket
- Engine immobiliser
The Street Twin comes in five exciting colour schemes:
