Triumph Launches Bonneville T100 At ₹ 7.78 Lakh

The new Triumph Bonneville T100 finally made its debut in India. It is priced at ₹ 7.78 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). It will replace the existing T100 and borrows the engine from the Triumph Street Twin.

It maintains the retro theme with twin-pod instrument console and classic styling cues inspired by the original 1950s Triumph Bonneville.
