With real pedigree, presence and performance, the authentic and classy Bonneville T120 and mean and moody T120 Black are evolutions of a timeless icon.
New 1200cc ‘high torque’ engine
The authentic character of the Bonneville T120 comes to life through the all-new
1200cc ‘high torque’ 8 valve, parallel twin engine. Built specifically for the modern classic riding style, with immediate power delivery, it produces a peak torque figure of 105Nm at a low 3100 rpm – 54% more than the previous generation.
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 1200 Bonneville engine is engineered with a charismatic tone and 270° firing interval for a smooth, linear power delivery.
The engine profile has been crafted to incorporate key heritage styling cues from the 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, with bronze detailing, on the T120, and black engine covers with machined aluminium detailing on the T120 Black.
