Triumph Announces Updates to its 2026 Bonneville Modern Classic Motorcycle Line-up

Triumph 2026 Bonneville Line Overview

Modern Classics, More Capable

The iconic Triumph Bonneville Modern Classics are evolving in 2026. The thoughtful updates blend timeless style with modern rider-focused tech and comfort. The expanded range includes Bonneville T100, T120, T120 Black, Scrambler 900, Bobber, and Speedmaster. Each model is refreshed to feel more confident, comfortable, and capable than ever.

At a warm and sunny museum in Southern California, Triumph showcases the updated Bonneville Modern Classics line. The storied company celebrates both the heritage and progress made in the Bonneville motorcycles. Alongside the new bikes stand machines once owned or ridden by legends. From Steve McQueen, to Daniel Craig’s 007, to Bob Dylan, to Hugh Laurie—we are realize these motorcycles are as much cultural icons as they are bikes.

Triumph’s iconic motorcycles have long played a starring role on screen and in real life. From Angelina Jolie’s action-packed chase scene in Salt to Pink’s Bonneville T100, these Triumphs are more than props—they’re personality on two wheels.

New Tech Without Losing Character

Triumph has discreetly integrated lean-sensitive Optimized Cornering ABS and Traction Control across the entire 2026 Bonneville Modern Classics line. This latest generation of Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)-based rider aids works behind the scenes to boost confidence while preserving classic looks. The sensor tracks the motorcycle’s acceleration and rotation across multiple axes in real-time. This informs advanced safety features to help prevent wheel slip, lock-up, or loss of traction during aggressive maneuvers or in slippery conditions. All models also now come with full LED lighting, USB-C charging ports, and improved instrument clusters.

Cruise control is now standard on many models, adding practicality for longer rides. All of the Bonnevilles retain their signature silhouettes with subtle styling updates and refreshed paint schemes.

Triumph Bonneville T100: Accessible Classic

The 2026 Triumph Bonneville T100 maintains its classic good looks but feels sharper and more refined thanks to modern rider aids. Its timeless silhouette and modern refinements provide a confidence-inspiring ride.

The T100 remains the gateway into the Bonneville world. This light, approachable, and character-rich motorcycle is a favorite first “big bike.” The T100 is loved by confident newer riders, as well as those seeking everyday fun with classic style and easy-to-ride ergonomics.

The T100 is lightweight, easy to maneuver, and confidence-inspiring. It feels balanced at low speeds and smooth through corners. The 900cc engine delivers gentle torque that builds gradually, making it perfect for relaxed city riding or mellow backroads. There’s a strong sense of connection with the bike—nothing feels rushed or overwhelming.

With a height of 31.1 inches and a narrow seat, it’s easy for me at 5 feet 4 inches to almost flat-foot at stops. This is great for riders of shorter stature or those getting back on two wheels after some time away from riding.

Triumph Bonneville T120 & T120 Black: Icon Refined

The Triumph Bonneville T120 adds more muscle while staying true to its refined roots. Its 1200cc engine offers smooth, predictable power. The cruise control and lean angle sensor make every ride even more enjoyable.

The T120 is the model that defined the Bonneville’s identity and continues to do so. For 2026, it keeps that unmistakable soul while gaining rider-focused tech and refined detailing. New paint options and hand-painted pinstriping or accent lines make this a bike that’s both classic and contemporary. Cruise control is now standard on the T120 and T120 Black.

The T120 has more authority on the road. You’ll notice the added torque, especially when accelerating onto highways or climbing hills. It still maintains that neutral, easygoing handling Triumph is known for. It’s the kind of bike that’s just as happy cruising through town as it is revving it up on back roads. The Black version appears more edgy and understated in tone.

In spite of the larger displacement engine, the T120 shares a 31.1 inch seat height with the T100. This combined with the comfortable ergonomics makes the T120 approachable despite its larger engine size.

Triumph Scrambler 900: Sharper and More Capable

Triumph’s 2026 Scrambler 900 feels fun and confident on road or exploring unpaved terrain.

Rugged yet refined, the Scrambler 900 is one of the most versatile bikes in Triumph’s lineup. Wider handlebars, Showa suspension, and radial brakes give it a more serious edge. Whether you’re navigating potholes or venturing onto gravel you'll enjoy the assured feel of the ride.

The Scrambler 900 gets the most significant mechanical uplift in the family. Alongside its heritage design are real performance enhancements: a refined chassis, Showa suspension, radial brakes, lightweight alloy rims, and modern rider aids. The result is better control on both pavement and dirt.

The ride feels upright and commanding, with great visibility in traffic and manageable control on less-than-perfect roads. Thanks to the suspension upgrades, the Scrambler 900 feels planted and sure-footed, even when the pavement ends. It’s a great option for riders who like the idea of exploring fire roads or taking the scenic route without switching bikes. Despite the taller stance, it’s surprisingly easy to handle at lower speeds.

The 2026 Triumph Scrambler 900 features a 31.1-inch seat height, which is low for a scrambler style motorcycle in general. The Scrambler 900 is lower, even, than the Scrambler 400 at 32.8-inches. This makes the 900 significantly more accessible for shorter riders compared to both the taller 400 X and the generally much taller, dirt-focused 1200 models (32.2-34.3 inches depending on model and options). — The 2026 Triumph Scrambler 900 features a 31.1-inch seat height, which is low for a scrambler style motorcycle.

Triumph Bonneville Bobber: Comfort and Presence

The Triumph Bobber is a unique mix of clean vintage looks, forward controls, and plenty of torque.The Bobber keeps its unmistakable silhouette, but a wider, more padded seat and larger tank give it new levels of comfort and practicality.

The 2026 Bobber proudly displays its cruiser roots. The 2026 model features a more muscular silhouette, a larger 3.7 gallon fuel tank, and a wider, more generously padded floating seat. The machine is designed for increased comfort and range. Cruise control and the new lean-sensitive rider aids add modern ease without diluting its classic character.

Low and steady, the Bobber has a grounded feel that makes it confidence-boosting from the first ride. Its center of gravity is low, making slow-speed maneuvers and tight turns easier than expected for such a long, husky machine. While it looks aggressive, the ride is surprisingly smooth. The improved seat padding makes longer stints in the saddle more comfortable. It’s a great choice for riders who want cruiser vibes without the bulk of a traditional V-twin.

With a super low 26.9-inch seat height, the Bobber is easy to mount and maneuver—even for petite riders. Despite its bold appearance, the Bobber is far more user-friendly than it looks and makes a strong statement everywhere it goes.

Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster: Relaxed Touring Classic

The Speedmaster’s new ergonomic updates make long rides even easier. Its relaxed, comfortable riding position comes from forward controls that aren’t too much of a reach.

The Speedmaster leans further into long-distance comfort with a larger tank, wider rider and pillion seats, and straighter handlebars for a more natural reach. Add in cruise control and lean-sensitive tech, now it's ideal for riders who want a classic cruiser that’s ready for miles of open road.

The Speedmaster rides like a laid-back tourer with a smooth, linear power delivery from its 1200cc engine. The straighter bars reduce shoulder strain. Upgraded seating makes it one of the most comfortable bikes in the Modern Classics family. It’s not a sporty ride, but its new lightweight wheels and refined geometry give it a planted, responsive feel. The Speedmaster handles well in corners, but doesn’t have much clearance before footpegs start to scrape around tighter mountain twisties. This model is perfect for long coastal rides, scenic highways, or Sunday cruises with a passenger on the back.

With a relaxed riding position and upgraded comfort for both rider and passenger, the 2026 Speedmaster is made for effortless cruising. A 27.8-inch seat height and straighter handlebars improve ergonomics and stability, making it a comfortable option for riders who want easygoing power in a classic cruiser-esque style.

Lean-Sensitive Optimised Cornering ABS & Traction Control standard.
