Triumph Bonneville T120 Black 2021

You can't ride a retro bike more convincingly than on the Triumph Bonneville T120. The name conveys so much classic flair that the actual riding almost takes a back seat. That would be a shame, though, because if you don't care about performance on the last jag, the Bonnie with its superior twin offers a successful all-round carefree package that makes big and small happy. For friends of understatement, the Black Edition offers the best option of the T120, where most of the chrome parts are replaced by matt black accents, which perfectly rounds off the discreet appearance.

Classic forms in their purest form

superior engine

ergonomics fit almost everyone

high quality of workmanship and materials

comfortable.

Little lean angle clearance
