2021 Triumph T100 scores 20 per cent more power

2021 Triumph T100

Triumph have undertaken a major revision of the entire Bonneville line-up with engine updates to help meet Euro5 emissions legislation and a 20 per cent power boost thrown in to the bargain for the 900 cc machines.

2021 Bonneville T100 boasts increased power and torque all the way up to a 500 rpm higher red-line

Power jumps from 54 to 64 horsepower. That peak power arrives at 7400 rpm, 1500 rpm higher than before, while the unchanged torque figure of 80 Nm peaks at 3750 rpm, 550 rpm higher than before. 80 per cent of the peak torque is available from as low as 2000 rpm.

2021 Bonneville T100 has been enhanced by the 4kg weight reduction, notably improving the bike’s agility.

The red-line is increased by 500 rpm in what should prove a much more willing performer than before with lower inertia throughout the engine with a lighter crank and balancer shafts. Helping save weight is a thinner clutch cover and new magnesium cam cover.

New higher specification cartridge front forks, combined with the twin rear shocks and the 32-spoke classically styled wheels

The improvements don’t stop there with new cartridge forks and a higher specification Brembo brake for the T100 models. The T100 is also 4 kg lighter than before and now has riding modes.

All Triumph motorcycles feature 16,000 km service intervals and the 2021 Bonneville range is expected to start arriving in Australia from the second quarter of 2021. Pricing is yet to be announced.

2021 Triumph T100 has a low 790 mm seat height
