Triumph Motorcycles has unveiled the special edition Street Twin, Thruxton RS and Rocket 3 R & GT for 2022.
Each of the motorcycles carries its own story and styling and is made available for one year only, beginning December 2021.
Triumph Rocket 3 R and 3 GT 221 Edition
Triumph has always been proud of the Rocket 3 line, and the special edition celebrates the monstrous 221Nm of peak torque available from the largest production engine on the planet.
The number 221 is also inscribed on the tank to remind you how powerful the engine is.
The 221 Editions also feature a Red Hopper fuel tank and front mudguard with Sapphire Black rear mudguard, flyscreen and front fascia.
Triumph Thruxton RS Ton Up Edition
Claimed to be the ultimate cafe racer, the special edition Thruxton RS was inspired by the ‘Ton-Up Boys’ of the 1950s and 60s.
It features an Aegean Blue fuel tank with jet black knee pad graphics, Fusion White seat cowl with ‘100 Special Edition’ graphics and hand-painted coach lining.
Triumph Street Twin EC1 Edition
Inspired by the two-wheel culture in East London, the EC1 Edition takes you back with a unique paint scheme to reflect the East End.
The EC1 Edtion features Matt Aluminium Silver and Matt Sliver Ice fuel tank with hand-painted silver coach lining.
All three models are not limited but are restricted to just a one-year production beginning from December 2021 until December 2022.
The 2019 Triumph Street Twin sees the bike upgraded to higher specs.
There is now more power, better handling and new equipment.
Details and new finishing will make the new bike look even classier.
Triumph has launched the updated 2019 Street Twin at the Intermot show in Cologne, Germany.
The present Street Twin is already a fun motorcycle to ride and it’s certainly one of this writer’s favourite motorcycles. Its appeal being its simplicity hence ease of operations and accessibility to a wide range of riders. There isn’t any complaint from riders per se, but one can always do with more power.
ENGINE
The 2019 Triumph Street Twin’s 900cc, parallel-Twin has been massaged to produce 18% more power, raising it to 64 bhp, more specifically.
Maximum torque remains at a punchy 80 Nm.
Maximum revs have accordingly been raised by 500 RPM to 7500 RPM for more flexibility between maximum torque and maximum horsepower.
IT means that you’ll find the bike charging forward anytime you open the throttle without needing to downshift much.
The cam cover is magnesium, while the clutch and its cover have been shaved to er… shave weight.
Apart from these, the crankshaft, dead shafts and balancer shafts have also been lightened.
The clutch has been replaced with a torque assist type to lighten lever effort (it should also soften the engine’s back torque).
One the electronics front, traction control and ABS are standard equipment.
DETAILS/FINISHING
The 2019 version may look outwardly unchanged but look closer and you will find a host of new details.
Braking is now handled by a new Brembo 4-piston caliper for more stopping power.
The forks have cartridge inserts for better handling and feedback.
The cast-aluminium wheels are also new.
A new seat with new material and thicker padding for more comfort.
Classy finishing is abound as seen on the single large speedo, brushed aluminium headlight brackets, paintjob and overall detailing on the engine and other parts.
INSPIRATION KITS
Triumph also launched two “inspiration kits” along with the 2019 Street Twin.
The first, called Urban Ride strips down the standard bike and equips it with a brown seat, black sump guard, fender removal kit, black filler cap and intake covers, waxed cotton pannier and LED signal lamps.
The second kit, called Café Custom, turns the bike into a café racer with Vance & Hines pipes, Fox shocks, rear fender removal kit, black engine covers and LED signal lamps.
Fast Bikes Sdn Bhd officially introduces full range of the new Triumph Bonneville in Malaysia.
Exclusive Malaysian Triumph Motorcycles importer and distributor Fast Bikes Sdn Bhd celebrated the launch of the all-new generation Triumph Bonneville range earlier today.
Present here were Fast Bikes Sdn Bhd’s top-tier executives led by COO Datuk Razak Al-Malique Hussain. Also present here was Marc McConnell, Triumph’s regional export sales manager for Asia Pacific.
The launch saw Fast Bikes Sdn Bhd officially introducing the full range of the new generation Triumph Bonneville modern classic bike. The range consists three core variants starting with the basic Street Twin, followed by the Bonneville T120 and the Thruxton R.
Street TwinFirst in the range comes the entry-level Street Twin variant that has already gone on sale through Fast Bikes Sdn Bhd with a basic price tag of RM55,900 (excluding road tax and insurance costs).
As previously reported, the new Triumph Bonneville Street Twin features a brand new new liquid-cooled 900cc parallel-twin powerplant that develops 54hp and 80Nm of peak torque. The mill is paired with a five-speed transmission that also boasts a slipper clutch feature.
Despite its classic retro outlooks, the Street Twin boasts several modern amenities that is primed as standard. Highlights here include its comprehensive LCD display to complement the analogue speedometer, LED taillight, as well as an under-seat USB charging port.
New from the ground up, the Street Twin has a claimed dry weight of just 198kg, making it 11kg lighter than its predecessor. Triumph further claims that the new liquid-cooled twin-cylinder heart boasts a 36% improvement in its fuel efficiency to match its enhanced power and torque figures.
Furthermore, three custom ‘Inspiration Kits’ are also available for the Street Twin – Urban, Brat Tracker and Scrambler. These kits gives buyers the additional option towards personalising the Street Twin to their desired tastes. Notably, ABS, ride-by-wire and traction control also come primed as standard in the Street Twin.
Bonneville T120 & T120 Black
Sitting in the middle of the range is the new Triumph Bonneville T120 variant that can be had in either standard or in ‘Black’ trims. As its name suggest, the Bonneville T120 features yet another new liquid-cooled eight-valve parllel-twin mill with a larger 1,200cc displacement.
The high-torque mill develops 79hp and 105Nm that are transmitted using a new six-speed transmission primed with a slip-assist clutch as well. Again, ABS, ride-by-wire and traction comes as standard features once more in this mid-range model.
Tipping the scale at 225kg dry, the Bonneville T120 promises dynamic handling capabilities thanks to the presence of 41mm cartridge forks up front that offers 120mm of travel and a pair of Kayaba twin rear shocks with pre-load adjustability and 120mm of travel.
Unlike the basic Street Twin, the Bonneville T120 gets a more extensive features list too. Highlights here include selectable riding modes, an analogue twin-dial instrument display with integrated multi-info LCD digital displays, LED taillight and LED Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) in the headlight, as well as an under-seat USB charger port.
Whilst the standard Bonneville T120 offers a more timeless look and classic stance, the Bonneville T120 Black offers a little more attitude thanks to its darker stance. It comes fitted with blacked-out components and details plus a dark brown leather seat to complete its darker look.
Triumph also highlights that there over 160 accessories available exclusively for the Bonneville T120 range, offering owners a much wider variety of personalisation here once more. Fast Bikes Sdn Bhd will be retailing both with a starting price of RM79,900 (exlcuding road tax and insurance costs).
Thruxton R
Last but not least comes the range-topping Thruxton R variant. The sportiest of the lot is set to offer plenty of performance to match its classic cafe racer styling.
The same high-torque liquid-cooled 1,200cc parallel-twin as found in the Bonneville T120 powers the Thruxton R, but it is tuned to develop a higher output of 96hp and 112Nm of torque instead. Again, the unit is paired with a six-speed transmission primed with a slipper clutch feature too.
Highlights in the features list include things like LED DRLs and taillight, under-seat USB charging port, analogue twin-dial instrument with integrated multi-info LCD displays and selectable riding modes. Also fitted as standard here are ABS, ride-by-wire and traction control.
Besides that, the Thruxton also benefits with two custom ‘Inspiration Kits’ that owners can choose from – Cafe Racer and Track Tracker. Fast Bikes Sdn Bhd is retailing the flagship Thruxton R cafe racer at the starting price of RM91,900 (excluding road tax and insurance costs).
