Triumph : 2016

Triumph Street Twin 900

The 2016 Triumph Street Twin replaces the former base Bonneville model with the Bonnie’s 865cc parallel twin upgraded to a new 899cc eight-valve, ”high torque” motor. The Street Twin also receives a new chassis and suspension, ride-by-wire throttle with traction control, slip assisted clutch, ABS, and LED lighting, and a line of 150 accessories.

Triumph Bonnevilles/Thruxtons
There are four freshly introduced 2016 models in Triumph’s Bonneville and Thruxton range of Modern Classics including the Bonneville T120, the T120 Black, the Thruxton and the Thruxton R. All feature the new 1200cc “high power” eight-valve fuel-injected parallel twin with rider-by-wire throttle and up to 62 per cent more torque.

Triumph Speed Triple
The Triumph Speed Triple has been revised for 2016 with changes including a new 1050cc engine with five selectable riding modes and ride-by-wire throttle. Styling revisions have also been made with more streamlined silhouette. Among its retained features are the traditional twin headlights with the single-side swingarm and underseat exhaust adding to a streetfighter look.

Triumph Tigers
For 2016, Triumph has a new group of six Tiger Explorers in its XR and XC ranges. The XR series is geared toward the on-road ride experience while the XC series is more off-road biased —and all come equipped with a shaft-driven
1215cc triple engine and technology such as cornering-optimized traction control,semi-active suspension, and a Hill Hold Control system.
