Triumph’s 1200cc neo-retros see small but helpful improvements

Bonneville T120

You’d be forgiven for not noticing the subtle tweaks Triumph has made to the Bonneville T120. After all, the big ‘Bonnie’s’ big draw has always been its fastidious commitment to looking like its ancestor from 1959. Triumph hasn’t strayed too far from the brief and instead peppered it with small feature enhancements. The most obvious visual difference is the new full-LED headlight which now has a very recognizable LED DRL shared with other neo-retro Triumph models, including the smaller, single-cylinder Bajaj-made offerings.

Like all 2026 Bonneville models, the T120 too receives discreetly integrated new rider aids, including lean-sensitive cornering ABS and traction control courtesy of an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), cruise control and a USB-C charging port. Like before, two very easy on the eyes digi-analogue dials show the rider the pertinent information.

Underneath all that, the Bonneville T120 retains the same mechanicals as it had a decade ago - we’re not complaining here. The 1,200cc, liquid-cooled, 270-crank parallel-twin motor makes the same 80hp at 6,550rpm and 105Nm of torque at 3,500rpm and continues to send power to the rear wheel via a 6-speed gearbox and a chain final drive. A dual-cradle frame nestles this big, torquey motor and suspension is handled by a right way up telescopic fork and twin shock absorbers. Aside from preload adjustment for the shocks, there’s no suspension adjustability here. Brembo supplies the braking hardware, as before and dual-channel ABS is standard. In true neo-retro fashion, the T120 continues to run on 18/17-in (F/R) wire-spoke rims shod with tubed tyres. While it has a low 790mm seat height, it weighs a substantial 233kg with its 14.5 litre fuel tank brimmed.

The change that’s realistically going to affect a prospective buyer of the big Bonnie is actually its higher price. Rs 12.17 lakh is what the Stone grey colour costs. If you’d like the dual-tone Cranberry Red or Aegean Blue options - like this author would - you’ll have to shell out an additional Rs 50,000. Triumph also has an extensive - and pricey - accessory catalogue with everything ranging from aesthetic to functional parts.

Like before, there is also a T120 Black on sale - priced at the same Rs 12.17 lakh - which has blacked-out finishes all over and comes in a shade of black or a dual-tone black/silver option, which will cost you Rs 50,000 on top of that. In comparison, the outgoing Bonneville T120’s prices ranged between Rs Rs 11.85 - 12.65 lakh.

Bobber and Speedmaster

In comparison to the Bonneville T120, updates to the Bonneville Bobber and Speedmaster are much more comprehensive. Both bikes have been given a larger 14-litre fuel tank (up from the previous 12 litre unit), tweaked bodywork and lighter aluminium rims (although Triumph doesn’t specify by how much exactly). The Bobber’s solo seat is now wider and features better padding, claims Triumph. Meanwhile, the Speedmaster uses broader seats for both the rider and pillion as well as a straighter handlebar. Both bikes now feature cruise control as well as the aforementioned IMU-assisted rider aids as standard.

The 1,200cc motor makes slightly different peak output on the Bobber and Speedmaster than on the T120 and these bikes also have different chassis components, most noteworthy are the fat tyres shod on 16-inch rims. Both bikes continue to use the single-pod digi-analogue dash and switchgear as before.

Both the Bobber and Speedmaster now cost Rs 13.52 lakh, which makes them both dearer by Rs 65,000 when compared to the earlier Rs 12.87 lakh starting price. These bikes also come standard with a simple black colour and if you want dual-tone paint, you’ll likely have to shell out a similiar amount to the T120’s colours, although Triumph’s India website doesn’t currently specify by how much.
