Triumph’s modern classic lineup comprises 11 models across three displacement categories. The middleweight 900 line features the roadster-styled Speed Twin 900, the Scrambler 900, and the lynchpin of the line, the Bonneville T100, a smaller-displacement, more affordable version of the 1,200cc Bonneville T120. The T100′s 900cc parallel twin pumps out a claimed 64 hp at 7,400 rpm and 59 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,750—just 12 fewer ponies and 18 fewer lb.-ft. of torque than the T120 produces. Starting at $10,995, it’s close to $2,000 less than the T120, but no less cool. Plus, it’s 17 pounds lighter.
Like the T120, it was updated in 2021 (and brought to the US as a 2022 model) with higher-spec suspension and braking components, and a lighter, more powerful engine that, compared to its predecessor, has a lighter crankshaft, clutch, and balancer shafts, as well as magnesium cam covers and revised ports and cam profiles. While it makes do with a five-speed gearbox and a single front brake disc, the T100 is just as pure an interpretation of the iconic British twin as its larger-displacement stablemate.
The 2024 Triumph Bonneville T100 starts at $10,995 for Jet Black. Different paint schemes increase the price as much as $750 for the Stealth Edition, which features a hand-painted tank.
