News Summary

  • The Triumph Bonneville T40 is based on the same 400 series platform as the Speed 400, Scrambler 400, Tracker 400, and Thruxton 400.
  • It will be powered by a 350cc single-cylinder engine, which Triumph has downsized to in order to take advantage of much lower tax rates for bikes in India.
  • Up front, the frame shares much of its architecture with Triumph's other 400cc models, but the rear section is now completely new.
  • The bike rolls on a staggered 18-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel setup with aluminum spoke rims and tubed tires.
  • The T40 also features a USB-C port and a new 4-inch round TFT instrument display with smartphone pairing, navigation, and controls for calls and music.
Motorcycles are a tricky business.
