Triumph Motorcycles India, which has sold 864 units between April-December 2015, and a total of 1,135 units in CY2015, today revealed three new motorcycles, powered by an all-new Bonneville engine family. According to the company, each new model gets a dedicated chassis and suspension package and a carefully integrated package of rider-focused technology for enhanced confidence, control and performance.

Speaking at the product reveal, Vimal Sumbly, managing director, Triumph Motorcycles India, said: "Our classics already enjoy a huge fan following here in India with people from all walks of life enjoying these iconic motorcycles. Modern classics are becoming more and more popular since people today are looking for character, style and fun. For us here in India, this is the perfect timing since this market is fast expanding. We’re extremely excited about the three new Bonnevilles unveiled today. The models selected for India are a result of the feedback we received directly from our customers and are very sure of their success within the India market.’

The Street Twin is Triumph’s most contemporary Bonneville, powered by an all-new high torque 900cc engine. It comes with unique character, distinctive sound, stripped-back styling and a dynamic riding experience.

The Bonneville T120, which is inspired by the legendary 1959 Bonneville, is powered by the all-new Bonneville 1200cc high torque engine. Triumph says the Bonneville T120 features a wealth of original detailing and a new level of standard equipment, including deep chrome multi-piece badges, grab rail and wheel rims, centre stand, heated grips and innovative twin skinned chrome exhaust headers and peashooter style silencers – developed specifically to minimise heat discoloration and deliver that authentic ‘straight through’ pipe run.

The third motorcycle revealed is the new 1200cc Thruxton R. With genuine poise, power and performance, it is the ultimate modern classic café racer. With sporting ergonomics, clip-on bars, fully adjustable suspension and 17-inch front wheel, for stunning handling and agility, combined with Triumph’s signature ride dynamic of neutrality, agility and stability, the new Thruxton R is claimed to deliver a truly engaged and thrilling ride.

Triumph Motorcycles currently sells 15 International models here in India and has already sold over 2500 units in last 2 years.
