New 900cc T100, T100 Black and Street Cup

steet-cup-t100-and-t100-black022Triumph have added three additions the ‘Classic‘ range, the T100, T100 Black and the Cafe Racer styled Street Cup, all three being based on the High Torque 900cc liquid cooled 8 valve engine. The T100 and Black are priced at £8,300.00, with the Street Cup coming in £300 more at £8,600.00. A point many will be happy with is that the T100 and T100 Black both sit on spoked wheels, a big styling improvement on the cast wheels fitted to the £7,350.00 Street Twin, something which a few of us didn’t like.steet-cup-t100-and-t100-black016The Street Cup is a more moderately priced Cafe Racers styled Twin, selling £1800 less that the 1200cc Thruxton. Unfortunately the Street Cup does have cast wheels, a bit of a shame but it features an attractive brushed stainless steel 2 > 2 exhaust system, drop bars, bullet seat, seat cowl, Fly-screen as well as foot pegs and forged headlight brackets from the Thruxton R – as well as the Thruxtons Twin clocks with polished stainless steel bezels.

Real Accessibility

One of the key areas of development for both T100 models is the new chassis and suspension set-up which significantly enhances comfort levels for the rider giving a better overall riding experience whether for long distance journeys, every day use or with a pillion.

Each model features a unique longer rear suspension unit and cartridge front forks which work together to offer the rider an engaging yet easy-going riding experience.

Both the T100 and T100 Black are lighter than the new T120 and also have a shorter wheelbase, rake and trail than the previous generation T100. This combined with a low seat height and relaxed riding position make them more accessible and easier to ride than ever before for every rider.

To further enhance the superior handling of the T100s, both bikes are fitted as standard with custom developed Pirelli Phantom Sportscomp tyres, designed especially by Pirelli for the Bonneville family  with stiffness and profile changes to the front tyre, and deeper tread on the rear for secure handling and improved durability.

Real Capability

The high standard of detailing, quality and finish is matched by the modern capabilities which includes a host of rider-focused technology for maximum control and safety.

Including;

Ride-by-Wire Delivering enhanced rideability, feel, safety and control, from a single throttle body.

ABS The latest generation anti-lock braking system – introducing a new level of safety and control yet remaining unobtrusive and with minimal visual impact.

Switchable Traction Control Switchable traction control via the instrument menu helps to maximise rider safety and comfort.

Torque Assist Clutch Designed to reduce clutch lever effort for the rider, bringing a lighter touch and feel to the clutch and making it easier to ride, and for longer.

Thrilling performance

Offering all the quality, performance, capability and comfort expected of the modern Bonneville family, the T100 and T100 Black are powered by the critically acclaimed Bonneville 900cc, ‘high torque’ 8 valve, parallel twin engine that offers more torque, better fuel economy and a rich, deeper exhaust note.

Specifically tuned to achieve much higher torque much lower down, it produces a peak torque figure of 80Nm at 3200 rpm – an increase of 18% on the outgoing Bonneville T100 for a more thrilling and engaging ride.

With enhanced throttle response from Triumph’s ride-by-wire fuel injection and a slick new five-speed gearbox the T100 models are engineered to deliver a 270° firing interval for a smooth, linear power delivery. A cutting-edge liquid cooling system, carefully integrated into the distinctive character of the Bonneville, reduces fuel emissions and significantly improves fuel efficiency by up to 29%. This, combined with a new extended service interval of 10,000 miles (16,000km) dramatically reduces the overall cost of ownership.

The T100s distinctive twin pea-shooter silencers are crafted in a classic style and come with the Bonneville’s ingenious twin skin design for a superb finish and clean line, delivering a unique rich exhaust note for the unmistakeable sound of a British Twin.

Delivering on our ambition to bring riders more choice and build on the Street Twin’s position
as the fun and accessible contemporary Bonneville, the new Street Cup joins the Street Twin line
up as the contemporary urban sports custom street racer.

Street racer style and attitude

With a name inspired by the club racing scene, the Street Cup has been designed to deliver all the attitude, personality, presence and style of a contemporary custom cafe racer for today’s riders.

Sharing the same contemporary custom styling principles as the Street Twin, the new Street Cup
has the iconic Bonneville silhouette combined with clean lines, minimal bodywork and modern finishes. These include cast wheels, elegant fuel tank with a locking fuel cap, black sculpted engine
covers with the Triumph makers mark triangle and Bonneville engine badge, elegant single throttle body with aluminium finisher and distinctive finned head and header clamps.steet-cup-t100-and-t100-black013

As you would expect from its name the new Street Cup is also absolutely loaded with distinctive and beautiful urban sports features and details, including:

    Silver contrast stitching.

Yellow and Silver Ice with Jet Black hand-applied coach lining and Racing Yellow wheel pin-striping
or Jet Black and Silver Ice with Gold  hand-applied coach lining and Gold wheel pin-stripingsteet-cup-t100-and-t100-black011

Urban sports poise, agility and equipment

To match its ‘street racer’ attitude the Street Cup has been developed to deliver more dynamic and sports focused ergonomics – without compromise to everyday comfort. Compared to the Street Twin the rider is seated slightly higher and further back and the handlebar position is lower and slightly further forwards. This delivers a more engaged riding position and also improves physical turn in.

There are new distinctive dropped ‘Ace’ style bars and new, model specific rear suspension units that are longer (though still with the same 120mm rear wheel travel of the Street Twin), which raises the back end and steepens the head angle. Combined with the sporty riding position this enhances the bikes agility for direction changes.

Taking the Street Cup to a new level of specification we have new high value 2-piston sliding axial Nissin caliper with machined branding and a floating brake disc.

Accessible for every rider

Just like the Street Twin, the new Street Cup chassis set-up is tuned to deliver a confidence inspiring and engaging ride. With the same evolution to  “stand-over” ergonomics for feet flat on the floor manoeuvrability and low seat height, at 780mm, the Street Cup is a truly accessible and fun bike for every type of rider to get on and go.

Thrilling performance

The critically acclaimed 900cc Bonneville engine from the Street Twin, makes the Street Cup the perfect companion for urban blasts and twisty B-road ride-outs. A major update to the original Bonneville engine platform, the 900cc engine features a charismatic 270° firing interval for smooth, linear power delivery from the slick five-speed gearbox.

The engine is specifically tuned to deliver performance just where you need it, with an 18% increase in peak torque and up to 22% greater horse power in the mid-range than the previous generation engine, with peak torque figures of 80 Nm at 3200 rpm.

Enhanced throttle response from Triumph’s ride-by-wire fuel injection and cutting-edge liquid cooling system, carefully integrated into the distinctive character of the Street Cup, reduces fuel emissions and significantly improves fuel efficiency by up to 36% on the previous generation. This, combined with a new extended service interval of 10,000 miles (16,000km) dramatically reduces the overall cost of ownership.

The Street Cup’s all new distinctive shorter and lighter twin upswept silencers, with satin black painted wrap and stainless steel end cap deliver the unmistakable sound of a British Twin, with a unique exhaust note to match its classic sporting character – rich, deep and full.

Real capability

Combining the custom stripped-back looks of the Street Twin with contemporary capability for maximum precision, control and safety, the Street Cup comes complete with a wealth of advanced rider focused technology including:

Ride-by-wire Enhanced rideability, safety and control, from a single throttle body

ABS The latest generation anti-lock braking system – introducing a new level of safety and control yet remaining unobtrusive and with minimal visual impact

  1. I’m sure the ride is improved but like the new T120, these bikes have lost a lot of the classic Bonneville look. The previous T100 with a few basic styling mods could actually be mistaken for a vintage bike in many cases. The new generation looks exactly like a modern day attempt at a retro bike. A bit too polished and a little hokey looking. Why would you include the word “Black” in the side decal of the T100 Black – isn’t the colour obvious enough? Factory produced accessories take away from the originality of aftermarket customization. Yes people the engineering is better but these bikes have declined in the looks department. Bring on the inane bickering, deep down you all know I’m right.

    1. I think to a degree you are right Hans, but I don’t think they as bad as you portray them. Walking around the new T120, there was little i didn’t like. Riding a Thruxton, I can say that it not only performs like modern bike, but still has plenty of retro character – Im a fan of the new Twin, but, given the choice, I would always pick a Carb model Bonneville over everything else, this is down to the price, looks, they are basic and there are plenty of aftermarket goodies on the market for them..
