Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster [2018-2019]

<p>Triumph has launched the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/triumph/speed-triple-1200/">Speed Triple 1200 RX in India </a>at an ex-showroom price of Rs 23.07 lakh. To recall, the RX made its global debut in May this year, with production limited to 1,200 units worldwide. The bike has now arrived on our shores as a limited edition. However, the exact number of units for our market is currently undisclosed. The RX is based on the Speed Triple 1200 RS, but it has a few upgrades, which make it approximately Rs 1.31 lakh more expensive than the RS. If you are planning to get your hands on this eye-catching limited edition Triumph in India, here's all you need to know about its design and features.&nbsp;</p><p>

      </div>
    <p><br></p><h2><strong>Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RX: Key Highlights</strong></h2><p>Although the Speed Triple 1200 RX shares much of its electronic suite with the 1200 RS, including cruise control, cornering traction control, five riding modes, and independently adjustable wheelie control, it sets itself apart with key ergonomic upgrades. The RX features lower and more forward-set clip-on handlebars, which help create&nbsp;a noticeably sportier rider triangle.&nbsp;The footpegs have also been repositioned higher and further back to support a more aggressive riding posture. Additionally, the seat has been&nbsp;redesigned to offer more space. Cosmetically, the bike stands out with an appealing neon yellow and black paint scheme, accented by RX graphics.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/triumph-speed-400-speed-t4-get-price-cut-of-up-to-rs-16797-ahead-of-festive-season-121891/">Triumph Speed 400, Speed T4 Get Price Cut of Up to Rs 16,797 Ahead of Festive Season</a></p><p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/triumph/">Triumph</a> has enhanced the Speed Triple 1200 RX’s performance credentials by equipping it with an Akrapovic exhaust and carbon fibre accents as standard. Interestingly, despite these lightweight additions, the RX weighs in at 199 kg, which is 1 kg more than the RS.</p><p>

      </div>
    <p><br></p><p>The RX features&nbsp;Ohlins SmartEC 3.0 electronically adjustable suspension, with USD forks up front&nbsp;and a monoshock at the rear. It also has an Ohlins&nbsp;SD EC electronic steering damper. For braking, the bike&nbsp;uses dual front discs paired with Brembo Stylema monobloc callipers, and a single disc at the rear.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/triumph-400-range-prices-remain-unchanged-as-bajaj-absorbs-gst-hike-121821/">Triumph 400 Range Prices Remain Unchanged as Bajaj Absorbs GST Hike</a></p><p>Mechanically, the&nbsp;Speed Triple 1200 RX has a 1,160cc, inline triple engine that produces a maximum power of&nbsp;180.5bhp at 10,750rpm and 127Nm at 8,750rpm, and is mated to a six-speed gearbox, with a quickshifter.</p>

Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RX Launched in India at Rs 23.07 Lakh

Triumph has launched the Speed Triple 1200 RX in India at an ex-showroom price of Rs 23.07 lakh. The bike was first unveiled globally in May this year, with a global production run of just 1,200 units.

<p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/triumph/">Triumph Motorcycles</a> has announced a festive-season price reduction for its Speed 400 and Speed T4 models in India, making them more accessible to buyers during the peak sales period. The ex-showroom price of the Speed 400 has been reduced by up to Rs 16,797, bringing it down to Rs 2,33,754 from Rs 2,50,551, while the Speed T4 is available at Rs 1,92,539 from Rs 2,06,738. This move comes at a time when several motorcycle manufacturers have raised prices following the recent hike in Goods and Services Tax (GST) on bikes above 350cc. With the GST rate now at 40 per cent, many brands have adjusted their prices upward to offset added costs. Triumph, however, has chosen to absorb the increase, maintaining price stability and focusing on customer value.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/triumph-400-range-prices-remain-unchanged-as-bajaj-absorbs-gst-hike-121821/">Triumph 400 Range Prices Remain Unchanged as Bajaj Absorbs GST Hike</a></p><p>In partnership with <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/bajaj/">Bajaj Auto</a>, Triumph is focusing on delivering accessible ownership without compromising performance or brand appeal. The pricing update for the Speed 400 and Speed T4 comes as part of a broader effort to attract a wider customer base. With the festive season around the corner, this move could help Triumph strengthen its foothold and appeal to buyers seeking high-quality motorcycles within a competitive price range.</p><p>
      
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2024/09/Triumph-T4-web-4.jpg" alt="Triumph Speed T4 front design" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>Both the Speed 400 and Speed T4 play a critical role in Triumph’s India strategy, having significantly boosted the brand’s sales since their debut. Between FY2023 and FY2024, these models nearly doubled monthly sales figures, indicating strong demand in the mid-size premium motorcycle category.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/triumph-thruxton-400-vs-speed-400-spec-comparison-whats-different-121437/"> Triumph Thruxton 400 vs Speed 400 Spec Comparison: What's Different?</a></p><p>Through this latest price adjustment, Triumph aims to increase momentum for its 400cc range during the festive season. With the reduced pricing, Triumph is looking to attract both first-time premium buyers and brand enthusiasts who value British engineering paired with approachable ownership costs.</p>

Triumph Speed 400, Speed T4 Get Price Cut of Up to Rs 16,797 Ahead of Festive Season

Triumph cuts Speed 400 price by up to Rs 16,797 and lowers Speed T4 cost ahead of festive season to boost sales and strengthen its market position.

<p>Triumph Motorcycles has confirmed that it will keep prices of its 400cc range unchanged in India, despite the recent Goods and Services Tax (GST) hike on bikes above 350cc. The revised tax rate, which jumped from 28 per cent to 40 per cent, directly affects mid-capacity models. By absorbing the increase, the British manufacturer is ensuring customers are not burdened with higher costs for its popular 400cc offerings.</p><p>The move applies to all of Triumph’s new-generation models developed in collaboration with Bajaj Auto. This includes the Speed 400, Scrambler 400X, and the newly launched Thruxton 400. Prices remain steady at Rs 2.50 lakh for the Speed 400, Rs 2.68 lakh for the Scrambler 400X, and Rs 2.74 lakh for the Thruxton 400 (all ex-showroom).</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/triumph-thruxton-400-vs-speed-400-spec-comparison-whats-different-121437/">Triumph Thruxton 400 vs Speed 400 Spec Comparison: What's Different?</a></p><p>By holding prices, Triumph is positioning itself more competitively against rivals that have passed on the tax hike to buyers. For customers, it means continued access to motorcycles that combine international styling with locally optimised manufacturing costs.</p><p>

Local assembly enables the brand to manage expenses efficiently, maintain competitive ex-showroom pricing, and keep ownership costs practical for Indian riders.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/top-350cc-cruiser-motorcycle-to-consider-post-gst-revision-121806/">Top 350cc Cruiser Motorcycle to Consider Post GST Revision</a></p><p>This move will strengthen buyer confidence and draw more traffic to Triumph dealerships. Unlike some competitors who have increased prices following the GST revision, Triumph has chosen to maintain stable prices for its 400cc motorcycles in India. This approach reflects the company’s focus on keeping its products accessible to riders despite changes in taxation.</p>

Triumph 400 Range Prices Remain Unchanged as Bajaj Absorbs GST Hike

Triumph Motorcycles will retain ex-showroom prices for Speed 400, Scrambler 400X, and Thruxton 400 by absorbing the GST hike above 350cc in India for 2025.

<p>As a nation, we’ve always wanted more for less. And when we actually get it, what do we want next? That’s right – even more, preferably for less, or at least for about the same price.</p>

<p>We wanted an affordable 400cc, and we got one. We wanted a scrambler, and we got that too. Then we wanted it to be even more rugged, and now, we finally have it.
Say hello to the new Triumph Scrambler 400 XC. Is this the perfect 400cc do-it-all machine, or are we about to start asking for more again? There’s only one way to find out – spend some time with it, getting silly in the rain and mud. And that’s precisely what we did.</p><h2>Triumph Scrambler 400 XC Design - Does It Look &amp; Feel the Part?</h2>

      
    
      
    


<p>It certainly does. There are quite a few distinctions over the standard 400 X, but to be honest, this is what the 400 X should have been in the first place. You now have three new colour options to choose from – Storm Grey, Vanilla White, and Racing Yellow. I personally like the last one the most and requested it for our test. Unfortunately, Triumph could only spare one in Storm Grey, which, to be fair, grew on me more than I expected.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Triumph-Scrambler-400-XC-Stand-View-1755501950015.webp" alt="Triumph Scrambler 400 XC-Stand-View.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p>

<p>The added bits include a raised, body-coloured front fender, a new windscreen with body-colour-specific graphics, and, of course, tubeless spoked wheels. However, here’s the curious part – Triumph isn’t offering the spoked wheels as an accessory for the standard 400 X. In fact, fitting them yourself could void the warranty. Why? Simply because Triumph doesn’t want unauthorised individuals tampering with the brake lines or ABS wiring during the installation process.</p>

<p>In terms of hardware upgrades, the list isn’t quite as exciting as the visual tweaks. The engine guard and sump guard are now standard, and the Scrambler 400 XC also gets adjustable brake levers. Ergonomically, the seat height remains unchanged, but the bike does gain 5 kilograms. According to Triumph, that’s due to the added weight of the spoked wheels and the standard components.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Triumph-Scrambler-400-XC-rear-light-1755501938817.webp" alt="Triumph Scrambler 400 XC-rear-light.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>The only dimensional difference here is the added 20mm in overall height, thanks to the windscreen. The question, however, is – is there a difference in the riding experience?</p>

      
    
      
    


<h2>Triumph Scrambler 400 XC Engine - Similar Performance</h2>

<p>What remains entirely unchanged is the engine. So, if you’re expecting a radically different experience from the 400 X, you’re in for a disappointment. The XC uses the exact same 398cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine, producing an identical 39.5bhp and 37.5Nm of torque. However, it still remains an absolute peach. Swift off-the-line acceleration, healthy low-end grunt, linear power delivery and smooth throttle response. The Scrambler 400 has never been the best in the segment but one round on the 400 XC reminded me why it still has the best balance of immediate power delivery and relaxed cruising capability.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Triumph-Scrambler-400-XC-Motion2-1755501934189.webp" alt="Triumph Scrambler 400 XC-Motion2.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p>

<p>The real story, however, lies in the running gear. The most significant upgrade is the switch to tubeless cross-spoke wheels – a welcome addition for anyone serious about off-roading. They’re more durable and offer slightly better bump absorption than the cast alloys on the standard X.</p>

<p>Out on the road, the XC feels remarkably familiar. That said, some riders might notice a slightly heavier and lazier steering feel at higher speeds. At lower speeds, though, maneuverability and agility remain spot on.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Triumph-Scrambler-400-XC-Speedometer-1755501944852.webp" alt="Triumph Scrambler 400 XC-Speedometer.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p>

<p>Yes, it’s 5kg heavier, but that extra weight isn’t something you really feel whether you’re on the move or at a standstill. The suspension and brakes, however, are carried over unchanged from the 400 X. And truth be told, the brakes feel like a missed opportunity – this was the perfect chance to upgrade to sintered pads. It would have helped in performance and longetitivity, both a complaint from existing Scrambler 400 X owners.</p>

<h2>Triumph Scrambler 400 XC Review Conclusion - Should You Buy One?</h2>

<p>If you liked what the Triumph 400cc platform offered from the start – be it aesthetics, performance, or handling – the 400 XC will feel like a welcome evolution. It’s not a different beast; it’s simply better dressed. With more rugged aesthetics and crucial off-road upgrades, like the aluminium sump guard, now standard, the XC caters to riders who want the proven platform with added durability right off the showroom floor. At ₹2.93 lakh (ex-showroom), it asks for a little more, but it gives just enough back to justify it.</p><p>

Triumph Thruxton 400 Walkaround | More Than Just a Faired Speed 400? | autoX

Priced at ₹2.74 lakh (ex-showroom), the Thruxton 400 builds on the Speed 400 platform but gets key changes

<p>Triumph Motorcycles has revised the price of its Speed 400 in India, which now costs Rs 2.51 lakh (ex-showroom), up from the earlier Rs 2.46 lakh. This change comes shortly after the launch of the new Thruxton 400, another addition to Triumph’s 400 cc lineup.  Interestingly, despite the higher price, nothing has changed in the bike’s design or features. The Speed 400 comes in four colour choices: yellow with white, black with grey, white with grey, and red with white. Features like ride-by-wire and switchable traction control are still on offer, giving riders the same level of control and convenience as before.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/triumph-thruxton-400-launched-in-india-at-rs-274-lakh-121425/">Triumph Thruxton 400 Launched in India at Rs 2.74 Lakh</a></p><p>Underneath, the Speed 400 continues with the same suspension setup. It uses upside-down front forks and a rear monoshock for stability and comfort. Braking is handled by a 300 mm disc up front and a 230 mm disc at the rear, both with dual-channel ABS, giving riders added confidence on the road.</p><p>

It makes 39.5bhp at 8,000rpm and 37.5Nm at 6,500 rpm. The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch, which helps in smoother shifts and less effort while riding—whether it’s in the city or on open highways.</p><h2>Triumph Thruxton 400 Launched in India</h2><p>Triumph has introduced the new Thruxton 400 in India, priced at Rs 2.74 lakh (ex-showroom).

It now makes 41.42 bhp at 9,000 rpm, which is around 2 bhp more than the Speed 400. The torque figure stays the same at 37.5 Nm, but it kicks in at 7,500 rpm instead of 6,500 rpm. This change comes from a new camshaft and updated engine tuning. Power is delivered through a six-speed gearbox, making the Thruxton 400 ready for both city rides and weekend getaways.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/triumph-thruxton-400-vs-speed-400-spec-comparison-whats-different-121437/">Triumph Thruxton 400 vs Speed 400 Spec Comparison: What's Different?</a></p><p>With the Thruxton 400 now joining the lineup, Triumph’s 400 cc family in India includes five models: Speed T4, Speed 400, Scrambler 400 X, 400 XC, and Thruxton 400.

Triumph Speed 400 price hiked to Rs 2.51 lakh. No changes in design or features and it is still powered by a 398cc engine with 39.5bhp and a 6-speed gearbox.

<p>Triumph has just launched the Thruxton 400 in India, adding a third model to its 400cc lineup alongside the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X. Like its siblings, this one is built locally by Bajaj Auto. Though it shares the same 398cc engine and platform as the Speed 400, the Thruxton takes a different path. It’s aimed at riders who want classic styling with a more focused riding posture.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/top-5-premium-bikes-under-rs-3-lakh-royal-enfield-himalayan-450-triumph-speed-400-121351/">Top 5 Premium Bikes Under Rs 3 Lakh: Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, Triumph Speed 400</a></p><h2>Triumph Thruxton 400 vs Speed 400: Design</h2><p>The Speed 400 showcases a modern streetfighter look with sharp, muscular bodywork, featuring a muscular fuel tank and a minimalist tail section.

Additional vintage-inspired touches include clip-on handlebars, bar-end mirrors, and a single seat topped with a rear cowl. The Thruxton’s blacked-out front forks and transparent brake fluid reservoir add subtle premium touches, highlighting its retro-modern appeal.</p><h2>Triumph Thruxton 400 vs Speed 400: Ergonomics</h2><p>The Speed 400 offers an upright, relaxed riding posture, achieved through wider and higher handlebars that promote comfort during city rides and daily use.

Its clip-on handlebars are 40mm narrower and 246mm lower, while the rear-set footpegs are positioned further back and higher, encouraging a forward-leaning stance. With a slightly lower ground clearance of 158mm and a 1376mm wheelbase, the Thruxton is designed for nimble, responsive cornering and more aggressive riding.</p><h2>Triumph Thruxton 400 vs Speed 400: Engine</h2><p>Both motorcycles share the same 398cc single-cylinder TR Series engine, but with distinct tuning differences. The Speed 400 produces 39bhp and 37.5Nm of torque, with a redline set at 9,200rpm, providing smooth and manageable power suited for a broad range of riders.</p><p>

Although peak torque remains at 37.5Nm, it arrives at a higher 7,500 rpm, resulting in more spirited, top-end performance.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/triumph-thruxton-400-launched-in-india-at-rs-274-lakh-121425/"> Triumph Thruxton 400 Launched in India at Rs 2.74 Lakh</a></p><p>With the Thruxton 400, Triumph now offers something a little different in the 400cc segment. It blends the charm of a cafe racer with tuned-up performance and sharper dynamics. For riders who want style and speed in a mid-capacity package, this new model could be a solid pick from Triumph’s growing made-in-India range.</p>

Triumph Thruxton 400 vs Speed 400 Spec Comparison: What's Different?

A detailed comparison between the Triumph Thruxton 400 and Speed 400, covering key differences in design, performance, and ride characteristics.

<p>Triumph has launched the&nbsp;Thruxton 400 in India at an ex-showroom price of Rs 2.74 lakh. The classic cafe racer mixes the signature look of the bigger Thruxton bikes with the easy-to-handle power of the popular 400cc platform.&nbsp;It is available in four colours:&nbsp;Lava Red Gloss,&nbsp;Pearl Metallic White, Metallic Racing Yellow, and Phantom Black.&nbsp;Regardless of the colour chosen, the bike gets eye-catching graphics and&nbsp;contrasting accents on the&nbsp;fuel tank, fairing, and&nbsp;rear seat cowl. In terms of market competition, the Thruxton 400 doesn't have a direct rival in its displacement and price bracket.&nbsp;However, it could serve as a cheaper alternative&nbsp;to modern retro machines, including the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650.</p><h2>Triumph Thruxton 400: Design and Features</h2><p>The Thruxton 400 features a half-fairing, circular LED headlamp and a raked windscreen. Its riding posture is sportier and aggressive than the Speed 400, thanks to clip-on&nbsp;handlebars and rear-set footpegs. The bike has a ribbed seat with a body-coloured cowl, a sculpted fuel&nbsp;tank with a racing stripe, bar-end mirrors,&nbsp;an all-black USD fork, a rectangular taillight, and&nbsp;brushed aluminium accents on the side panels.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/top-5-premium-bikes-under-rs-3-lakh-royal-enfield-himalayan-450-triumph-speed-400-121351/">Top 5 Premium Bikes Under Rs 3 Lakh: Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, Triumph Speed 400</a></p><p>While the bike is a modern classic, its feature set is contemporary. Some of the key features are a digi-analogue&nbsp;instrument cluster, dual-channel ABS, and&nbsp;traction control.&nbsp;</p><h2>Triumph Thruxton 400: Engine and Hardware</h2><p>The bike has a proven 398cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that is tuned to produce a maximum power output of 41.42bhp at 9,000rpm, which is an increase of around 2bhp over the Speed 400's 39.45bhp. While the torque is the same at 37.5Nm, the rev is higher at 7,500rpm. The difference of 1,000rpm (both power and torque) from the Speed 400 is a result of a new camshaft and revised engine tune. The engine is paired with a six-speed gearbox.&nbsp;</p><p>As for the hardware,&nbsp;the Thruxton 400 has a lot in common with the Speed 400, but Triumph has made subtle adjustments to fine-tune its dynamics. For instance,&nbsp;the wheelbase has been reduced&nbsp;by 10mm to 1376mm, and the suspension travel has increased by 10mm to 140mm. The&nbsp;seat height has risen to 795mm, while&nbsp;ground clearance is a bit lower at 158mm.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/2025-triumph-trident-660-launched-in-india-with-revised-suspension-and-new-features-121168/">2025 Triumph Trident 660 Launched in India with Revised Suspension and New Features</a></p><p>The bike's weight has increased by 4 kg (183 kg).

Triumph Thruxton 400 Launched in India at Rs 2.74 Lakh

Triumph has introduced the Thruxton 400 in India, ahead of a planned global launch later this year. The classic cafe racer gets notable mechanical upgrades over the popular Speed 400. 

<p>Triumph Motorcycles will launch the new Thruxton 400 in India on August 6. Ahead of its debut, Triumph teased the bike with an image of a coffee cup featuring motorcycle-shaped latte art. The design hints at the Thruxton 400’s cafe racer roots. The bike was also spotted testing on public roads without camouflage, revealing its production-ready look. The upcoming Triumph Thruxton 400 will be powered by the same 399cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled TR Series engine. This is the same engine used in Triumph’s Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X. It produces 39bhp and 37.5Nm of torque.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/triumph-thruxton-400-spied-undisguised-ahead-of-india-launch-121363/">Triumph Thruxton 400 Spied Undisguised Ahead of India Launch</a></p><p>For the design, the Thruxton 400 borrows heavily from its bigger sibling, the Thruxton 1200.

Triumph Thruxton 400 Teased Ahead August 6 Launch; Here's All You Need to Know

Triumph Thruxton 400 to launch in India on August 6 with 399cc engine, retro cafe racer design, modern features, and an expected price of Rs 2.50 to 2.60 lakh.

<p><em>Believe it or not, in the land of ‘Baywatch,’ a Triumph Bonneville managed to attract more attention than the bikini-clad women jogging along the Pacific coastline. Here’s why…</em></p>

<p>Triumph Motorcycles has decided to expand its successful Bonneville range with the addition of the 2018 Speedmaster. So we travelled 31 hours, including flight and transit times, to California to find out what the all-new Bonneville Speedmaster is all about.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Based on the gorgeous Bobber, Triumph’s fastest selling bike in history, the Speedmaster is powered by the same 76bhp 1,200cc High Torque parallel-twin heart. This refined engine offers 10% more torque at 4,000rpm than the standard Bonneville and 42% more torque than the previous-generation Speedmaster. The beauty of this torquey parallel-twin engine is that it allows you to be an apex predator in the corners, while also providing plenty of punch at slow speeds. And, thanks to the tall gearing, you don’t need to keep shifting gears either.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As mentioned earlier, the Bobber is one of Triumph’s best sellers, but its single seat and lack of luggage space limits its potential. And it was this limiting aspect that lead to the launch of the Speedmaster. Dubbed a practical version of the Bobber, the Speedmaster has the same class leading chassis and engine performance as the Bobber – but without its limitations. And for this reason, the Speedmaster will definitely appeal to a lot more riders. After all, many still prefer two-seater motorcycles – especially in the Indian market, where most riders would admire the Bobber, but eventually would shy away from signing on the dotted line.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>From retro to modern</strong></p>

<p>We rode this retro cruiser along the California coastline, with the waves kissing the beaches on one side and a row of cafes on the other. Apart from hitting the wide Pacific Coast Highway in Southern California, we also rode the Speedmaster on narrow winding roads neatly tucked away in the hills. I got my hands on the beautiful dual-coloured Fusion White and Phantom Black, sporting a timeless British heritage design with minimal bodywork. Mesmerised, I took a couple of minutes to admire the simple, yet classy, full HD round headlight with DRLs – as Triumph brings back the Nacelle design from the 50’s and 60’s. Making the motorcycle more practical, the Speedmaster boasts of a 12-litre dual coloured sculpted Bonneville tank – bigger than the Bobber’s 9-litre one. It retains a simple LCD instrument cluster – an odometer, rev counter, gear indicator, range-to-empty gauge, a fuel level indicator, clock, two trip meters and a service indicator. Sticking to the retro theme, the Speedmaster comes with stylish 16-inch, 32 spoke wire wheels and twin chrome exhausts.</p>

<p><img alt="2018 Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster Rear Three Quarter" src="/uploads/2018/01/triumph-bonneville-speedmaster-rear-three-quarter.jpg" /></p>

<p>If you picture the original Bobber, it would be quite hard to imagine Triumph accommodating two seats on that platform. But thanks to some clever design, Triumph uses a sub-frame for the two seats. It has a mono-shock suspension with a travel of 73mm, which is also pre-load adjustable. Kudos to Triumph for designing the Speedmaster while retaining the classic hard-tail look.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Speedmaster is all about laid-back riding, and that’s the first thing I noticed when I sat on the rider’s seat – which boasts of a low seat height of 705mm. This is a boon for us Indian riders, as we aren’t the tallest people in the world. Also, the ride stance is more like a cruiser – with swept back ‘beach bars’ and forward-mounted foot pegs.</p>

<p><strong>Responsive and refined</strong></p>

<p>It was time to find out how this new Bonneville behaved on the road. I press started the ignition and 1,200cc engine came to life with a muffled hum. As was expected from this High Torque engine, it responded instantly with a slight twist of the throttle. As we eased our way out of San Diego city, adhering to the speed limit, the Speedmaster showed a lot of spunk at a low power range of 1,800 to 2,000rpm, making it very easy to ride in slow traffic conditions. This is all thanks to the flawless ride-by-wire throttle. As smooth as the engine is, it’s mated to a precise and an effortless 6-speed transmission. Another reason why it’s so easy to ride the Speedmaster is its torque-assist clutch that allows you to use the lever with just a single finger – making the overall experience of riding this cruiser an overall relaxed affair.</p>

<p><img alt="2018 Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster Front View" src="/uploads/2018/01/triumph-bonneville-speedmaster-review1.jpg" /></p>

<p>Once we hit the highway, I opened the throttle and the Speedmaster showcased its versatile nature as it picked up speed in a smooth and linear fashion – crossing the three-digit mark in a jiffy. Also, I could hardly feel the chassis vibrating. The Speedmaster also comes with cruise control as standard equipment, and the highway was the ideal place for us to play around with this feature. It gets activated on or above third gear – once you’re cruising over 70km/h. The beauty of this feature is that it’s very simple to use. Press it once and the system comes alive. Press it &nbsp;again and the cruise control is switched on. You can adjust the speed, and when you wish to deactivate it, simply press the brakes or clutch or twist the throttle. Like the Bobber, it also has two riding modes – Road and Rain – and is equipped with ABS and traction control.</p>

<p><strong>Rock steady</strong></p>

<p>Coming back to the ride, it was very stable at high speeds, as expected. But it was when we entered the twisty roads of Mount Palomar that the Speedmaster showed its true character. We were able to flick it in corners, and it felt light, yet stable – giving the rider a lot of confidence. I must add, though, that the front foot pegs kept scraping – but then it is a cruiser. The result of this, however, is a slight disconnect between the eager engine, the chassis and the party-pooper foot pegs.</p>

<p>The Speedmaster, like the Bobber Black, comes with twin 310mm disc brakes up front, which respond well and provide sufficient bite when needed.</p>

<p>Coming to ride quality, I can’t really comment because we were riding the Speedmaster on flawless roads. Triumph has changed the setup of the front 41mm KYB forks – it now come with a dual-rate spring to offer a more cushioned ride. Adjustments to the rear KYB monoshock have also been made to ensure the pillion’s ride quality is not hampered. Keeping practicality in mind, Triumph has added a sub-frame to accommodate a pillion or luggage.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="2018 Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster Side Profile" src="/uploads/2018/01/triumph-bonneville-speedmaster-review-autox.jpg" /></p>

<p>Triumph also provides optional customised kits for the Speedmaster to make it truly your own. The iconic British motorcycle manufacturer calls them ‘inspirational kits.’ The Highway kit is all about touring, as it comes with a pannier set, extra comfortable seat with a rear backrest and a windshield. The Maverick fit, on the other hand, is a more blacked-out street kit with a single seat setup and flat raked out bars.</p>

<p><strong>Another winner on its hands?</strong></p>

<p>So, is the new Speedmaster a practical version of the Bobber? I would say it’s a mature and a versatile retro cruiser because of its easy-going riding position and extremely comfortable seat. When it comes to practicality and safety, it has a larger 12-litre tank and twin front disc brakes, apart from ABS and traction control. The 1,200cc High Torque is a gem of an engine, as it provides quite a punch at low rpm and goes all-free revving on the highway. The Bobber chassis offers fluid steering feel and seems to be at ease when negotiating tight turns. With its simple retro design, class-leading refinement and build quality, the Speedmaster is a charmer that will make people go weak in the knees. And the good news is that it’s going to make its debut in India soon. But, will it give its competition some sleepless nights? Going by the success of the Bonneville range, the Speedmaster certainly ought to make its rivals nervous. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>
