Bonneville T100

900cc High Torque Engine

Offering all the quality, performance, capability and comfort expected of the modern Bonneville family, the T100 is powered by the critically acclaimed Bonneville 900cc, ‘High Torque’ 8-valve, parallel twin engine that offers more torque, better fuel economy and a richer, deeper exhaust note than the previous air-cooled generation. Specifically tuned to achieve high torque low down, it produces a peak torque figure of 59 LB-FT at 3,200 rpm – an increase of 18% on the previous air-cooled generation Bonneville T100 for a more thrilling and engaging ride.

With enhanced throttle response from Triumph’s ride-by-wire fuel injection and a slick five-speed gearbox the T100 is engineered to deliver a 270° firing interval for a smooth, linear power delivery. A cutting-edge liquid cooling system, carefully integrated into the distinctive character of the Bonneville, reduces fuel emissions and significantly improves fuel efficiency by up to 29%. This, combined with an extended service interval of 10,000 miles (16,000 kilometers) dramatically reduces the overall cost of ownership.

The T100 distinctive twin peashooter silencers are crafted in a classic style and come with the Bonneville’s ingenious twin skin design for a superb finish and clean line, delivering a unique rich exhaust note for the unmistakeable sound of a British Twin.

Modern Capability

The Bonneville T100 Bud Ekins Edition shares all of the standard T100s high quality detailing, finish, matched by its modern capabilities, which includes a host of rider-focused technology for maximum control and safety, including:

Ride-by-Wire Delivering enhanced rideability, feel, safety and control from a single throttle body.

ABS The latest generation anti-lock braking system – introducing a new level of safety and control yet remaining unobtrusive and with minimal visual impact.

Traction Control Switchable traction control via the instrument menu helps to maximize rider safety and comfort.

Torque Assist Clutch Designed to reduce clutch lever effort for the rider, bringing a lighter touch and feel to the clutch and making it easier to ride, and for longer.

LED Rear Light Built into the classically inspired tail set-up, bringing a distinctive rear light pattern and power efficiency, with an integrated number plate light.

USB Charge Socket Mounted underneath the seat for convenient charging of essential devices.

Stylish Twin Clocks Feature-packed clocks (speedo and rev counter) cleverly incorporating a digital menu system for fingertip control while riding, including: – Gear position indicator – Odometer – Two trip settings – Service indicator – Range to empty – Fuel level – Average and current fuel consumption – Clock – Traction control settings

From the extensive optional accessory range, cruise control and heated grips are available.

Great Accessibility

One of the key highlights of the T100 is the chassis and suspension set-up designed with a low seat height for advanced comfort levels for the rider, giving a great overall riding experience whether for long distance journeys, every day use or with a pillion.

The T100 features a unique longer rear suspension unit and cartridge front forks which work together to offer the rider an engaging yet easy-going riding experience.

The T100 is lighter than the T120 and also has a shorter wheelbase, rake and trail than the previous generation T100. This combined with the low seat height and relaxed riding position, make it more accessible and easier to ride than ever before for every rider.

To further enhance the superior handling of the T100, the bikes is fitted as standard with custom developed Pirelli Phantom Sportscomp tires, designed especially by Pirelli for the Bonneville family with stiffness and profile changes to the front tire, and deeper tread on the rear for secure handling and improved durability.

Inspired Styling

Inspired by the legendary 1959 Bonneville and styled to incorporate more of the iconic design, silhouette and character of the original, the T100 has its own distinctive character, enhanced by the premium finishes and signature touches of a genuine motorcycle icon.
