BONNEVILLE T120 and T120 BLACK For the 1200cc bikes , the Bonneville T120 and T120 black both have been reworked for more response and lower engine emissions . Like the smaller 900cc bikes , the 1200s have seen their engine internals revised in the quest to give them more pep whilst also meeting Euro5 regulations . Again , this was achieved with the use of a new lighter crank , optimised clutch and balancer shafts to reduce inertia and provide a notably more immediate and responsive throttle . In the handling department , the T120s have shed a massive 7kg thanks to the lighter crankshaft and new aluminium wheels which also have the benefit of reducing unsprung weight . The braking has been improved with a higher specification Brembo front brake , with a twindisc set-up and two-piston sliding calipers . Safety and control have also been maximised thanks to Triumph ’ s latest generation ABS and
switchable traction control . Cruise control is now a standard feature while other high spec rider focused technology that comes as standard include a torque-assist clutch , an engine immobiliser incorporated into the key , an under-seat USB charging socket and the internal wiring ready to plug in the accessory fit heated grips .
SPEEDMASTER The Speedmaster is the next in line for the update hit , and despite being one of the newer models in the Triumph Bonneville extended family it has its fair share of updates for 2021 . Receiving the same 1200cc High Torque parallel-twin as the T120 and T120 Black , the Speedmaster gets a new tune for a fuller and smoother power and torque delivery , and a notable lift in the mid-range , for a result that gives lower emissions , and excellent fuel economy . Peak torque is a thumping 106Nm at a very low 3850rpm , with over 90 % of that torque available all the way up to 5750rpm . Peak power of 78PS comes in at 6100rpm . The suspension gets an upgrade to bigger diameter 47mm Showa cartridge forks , which combine with the preload-adjustable monoshock rear suspension unit hidden
