You Won’t Believe What Triumph Added to the 2026 Bonneville T120

I walked into the showroom and saw the new Triumph Bonneville T120 and T120 Black standing side by side. You know the classic silhouette of the Bonneville that so many riders love, but these two models take it further with modern updates while keeping that vintage charm. Let’s talk about what’s new, what stays the same, and why these bikes feel alive with a truly human touch. Don’t forget to like this video, subscribe, and hit the notification bell—because you won’t want to miss future ride reviews.

First, the heart of these machines remains: the twelve-hundred cubic centimeter liquid-cooled parallel twin engine that puts out roughly 78.9 horsepower at 6,550 rpm and 105 Newton-metres at 3,500 rpm. That means you still get the punch and character of the Bonneville engine you’ve trusted, with the classic growl and rich feel under throttle. Triumph chose not to tinker too much here—and that’s a good thing.

What has changed is how the bike interacts with you and the road. Both models now include an inertial measurement unit, which enables lean-sensitive cornering anti-lock braking system and cornering traction control. This is a big step, bringing modern safety tech into a motorcycle that still looks timeless. On top of that, cruise control is now standard, an LED headlight upgrades the front end, and you have a USB-C socket on the cockpit for your phone or GPS.

Design and colour options get a refresh, too. The T120 is available in Aegean Blue paired with New England White, Stone Grey, and for some markets a Silver Aluminium paired with Cranberry Red. The T120 Black offers a Jet Black finish or a two-tone Matt Silver Ice combined with Matt Sapphire Black. These finishes bring that hand-painted coachline feel, the kind of detail that you might expect on a custom build—but here it comes from the factory.

Price wise in the United States both the T120 and T120 Black carry an MSRP of thirteen thousand nine hundred ninety-five dollars. You’ll be able to place your order now, and the bikes are expected to begin arriving in dealer showrooms in March twenty-twenty-six.

What all this means is you get the best of both worlds: the character of a classic Bonneville and the confidence of modern tech. If you ride one, you’ll feel that connection to the road, the throttle feedback, the frame geometry—all that old-school charm—while also enjoying refined brakes, safety systems, and convenience features that riders expect today.

If you love retro style riding but still want modern performance and safety then the 2026 Triumph Bonneville T120 family might be exactly what you’re looking for.
