The new bikes will be available in dealer showrooms at the end of April, so the wait is not too long. In the meantime, we’ll be letting you know our testers thoughts on the new bikes as soon as they have got off the bikes and had a chance to gather their thoughts.

Here’s the full spec and the official release from Triumph:

Like the iconic original Bonneville T120, which enjoyed global success thanks to its heart-stopping looks and game-changing performance, the new Bonneville T120 and T120 Black are perfectly in tune with today’s desire for authenticity, character and capability.

With real pedigree, presence and performance, the authentic and classy Bonneville T120 and mean and moody T120 Black are beautiful evolutions of a timeless icon.

New 1,200cc ‘high torque’ engine 
The authentic character of the Bonneville T120 comes to life through the all-new
1,200cc ‘high torque’ 8 valve, parallel twin engine. 

Built specifically for the modern classic riding style, with immediate and exciting torque delivery, it produces a peak torque figure of 105Nm at a low 3,100 rpm – an amazing 54% more than the previous generation. With a power output of 80PS at 6,550rpm, 18% up on the previous engine, the new 1,200cc delivers much more power across the whole rev range, with 50% more power at 4,500rpm.

With the pinpoint accuracy and instant throttle response of Triumph’s next generation ride-by-wire fuel-injection and engine management system, the six-speed 1,200 Bonneville engine is engineered with a charismatic tone and 270° firing interval for a characterful,
linear power delivery.

The engine profile has been beautifully crafted to incorporate key heritage styling cues from the legendary 60’s Bonneville bikes, sensitively incorporating contemporary components to maintain that iconic engine silhouette. The finish has also been taken to a new high standard, with brushed aluminium engine covers, and elegant bronze detailing on the T120, and black engine covers with machined aluminium detailing on the T120 Black.

Behind the new engine’s stylish exterior sits a cutting-edge liquid cooling system, carefully integrated to minimise its visual impact whilst achieving cleaner emissions and enhancing fuel efficiency – a 13% improvement compared to the previous generation. This, combined with a new extended service interval of 10,000 miles (16,000km) dramatically reduces the overall cost of ownership.

Finally, all-new elegant peashooter style exhausts follow a clean ‘straight line run’ achieved through an ingenious twin skin design that covers the pipe run through the cat box and out again. Delivering the true sound of a British twin, with a deep and rich exhaust note that truly matches the T120’s character.
