Powered by 900cc high torque engine from Triumph Street Twin.
The updated 2017 model-year Triumph Bonneville T100 has reached the Indian market just few week after its global debut at the Intermot 2016, Germany. One of the most affordable and lighter Bonneville ever, the T100 brings out a simple-yet-elegant, less intimidating retro styling with shorter wheelbase than the T120 model. Visually, the new chrome-finish mirrors and mudguard stays, LED tail, and muscular handlebar grabs one's attention with ease.
Heralded as the most-user friendly Bonneville, the T100 features low seating with relaxed and more upright riding position. The chassis is also new, while the rear suspension is a bit longer, thereby influencing ride handling and comfort levels. Available in three paint options namely Aegean Blue-White, Intense Orange-White, and Jet Black, the coach lines are exclusively hand painted as well. Buyers can also opt for over 150 accessories including tank bags, heated grips, leather seat, leather canvas mix panniers, a grab rail and a centre stand.
