The latest teaser video of Triumph leaves no room for doubt: four new models are warming up for their official presentation on October 6. Bonneville 400, Street Triple, Tiger 900 and Tiger 1200 They are the ones that present themselves most strongly as protagonists of the event. A theory that gains even more strength after viewing frame by frame the audiovisual document that the British brand has published on its main social networks.
The Bonneville 400 ready for candy
There is no doubt that Triumph, in recent years, has been able to perfectly recognize the needs of the current global motorcycle market. Perhaps that is why it has reinforced emblematic segments of its current range of models. Among them the varied offer offered by the Modern Classic category of the British firm.
It is precisely the latter that will be expanded for next year with the arrival of a long-awaited Bonneville 400. Let us remember that in recent months several test mules have been photographed in full testing, generally traveling on Indian roads. This would join the already known Thruxton 400, Speed 400, Scrambler 400 X and Scrambler 400 XC.
Equipped like the latter with the already known propeller 398cc TR Seriesthis offers in its latest evolution up to 42 HP of power at 9,000 rpm and 37.5 Nm of maximum torque. As expected, and as confirmed by the first blurred images of the recently published teaser video, the Bonneville 400 would have an even more retro and simple configuration than its range sisters.
Among its most recognizable elements, it is expected to equip a conventional fork on its front axle and a pair of lateral shock absorbers at the rear. Likewise, it is very likely that the Bonneville 400 will implement a smaller section rear swingarm and a new bolted subframe.
As a novelty within this Modern Classic range, the inclusion of a pair of radial-type wheels measuring 19” at the front and 18” at the rear is expected. All this accompanied by a look distinctly retro, both in style and performance. At this point, for example, the presence of the typical circular headlight is almost confirmed.
Also that of the characteristic elongated fuel tank, typical of the Bonneville family, a “peashooter” type exhaust or a one-piece and relatively flat seat. To conclude, it is likely that Triumph will end up using a mixed dial, with an analog tachometer and a small auxiliary LCD display.
Triumph 2027 range: “Variety is the joy”
The rest of the models that are intuited in the latest Triumph publication would be the Street Triple and the two components of the current Tiger range, in versions 900 and 1200. Regarding the first, it gives it away, as Gaadi Waadi’s companions rightly describe, “Its short front section, raised rear end and twin headlight profile are the most distinctive elements of the trailer.”
As for the ADV models of the British brand, “The slimmer one is reminiscent of the Tiger 900, with its narrower mid-section and medium-weight adventure bike stance. The second bike has a larger front section, higher stance and beefier touring profile, more closely resembling the Tiger 1200.”they conclude from the Indian environment.
