We concluded that the Triumph Thruxton R is the most fun factory café racer after our testing. We also said that it was beautiful especially when fitted with the optional “bullet” fairing. It’s as close as you could get to perfection. Well, Hedonic thinks it could be improved on when they built this Thruxton R.

Triumph Thruxton R Test & Review

At Hedonic, Frenchman Serge Heitz and his team of craftsmen build custom bikes to order and this Spirit Racer Thruxton R demonstrates their abilities.

Hedonic is relatively new in the custom motorcycle building business. Serge set it up due his passion for cars, boats and motorcycles, although not in that particular order. But while the Spirit Racer is designed and built entirely by Hedonic, customers are treated to a hands-on designing process so they can develop unique bikes tailored to their own tastes.

Appropriately named “Amazing,” the Hedonic Triumph Thruxton R demonstrates the builder’s skills in metal shaping. The fuel tank, fairing, fender, belly and side covers are one-off pieces to complement the lines of the bike. They spent more than 150 hours in forming the aluminium components which are then polished.

The Thruxton R is already equipped with a pair of excellent Showa BFF forks but Hedonic decided to fit Yamaha YZF-R6 forks as they are shorter. The wheels are 16-inch items and fitted with classic-looking Firestone tyres. The stock brakes are retained.

The clip-on handlebars are custom fabricated to integrate the brake master cylinder, clutch cable and inverted levers.

The cockpit consists of a single Motogadget gauge, ignition barrel and ignition button. The warning lights were relocated to the left-side switch cluster.

Hedonic finishes off the build with a fabricated custom exhaust system to improve on the Thruxton R’s grunt.

BR_triumph_bonneville_launch_003Exclusive Malaysian Triumph Motorcycles importer and distributor Fast Bikes Sdn Bhd celebrated the launch of the all-new generation Triumph Bonneville range earlier today.

BR_triumph_bonneville_launch_001Present 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 TwinBR_triumph_bonneville_launch_007First 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.

Street Twin-1

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.

Street Twin-17

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

BR_triumph_bonneville_launch_004
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.

The Triumph Bonneville T120.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.

The Triumph Bonneville T120 Black. 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

BR_triumph_bonneville_launch_005
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.

The beautiful Thruxton RHighlights 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.

A big powerful engine now made more economical with liquid-cooling and selectable riding modes.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).

Hailed as the coolest motorcycle in the world, the Triumph Bonneville range in Malaysia has been refreshed to include the cool as ice, tough as nails, makes you want to ride hard and beat someone up, the top of the range Thruxton R.

Also introduced with the R are the Bonneville T120 and T120 Black, but just in case you were wondering which one we approve of, now you know.

The beautiful Thruxton R
The beautiful Thruxton R

We first got acquainted with the Thruxton R at the EICMA Motorcycle show in Milan, Italy last year, you can read the story here. The bike is a success at first sight, there is something weirdly appealing about a bike with a minimalistic design, huge power and lots of exposed steel.

Triumph-1
The Thruxton R features classic cafe racer design, a big powerful engine, brilliant brakes, and Ohlins and Showa suspension.

The Thruxton R has been well received globally with positive reviews from the world’s motorcycling media. We will leave our opinion till we ride it locally, so the facts first.

The round headlights of the Thruxton R are an obvious nod to bikes of the early 90s.

An extension of the Triumph Bonneville range, the Thruxton R is a true to form cafe racer, a reincarnation of sorts of a successful motorcycle from the 50s and 60s that won a lot of local races in the UK. Though the new Thruxton R lacks that racing pedigree of its four fathers, it has the looks, and the power to match.

A big powerful engine now made more economical with liquid-cooling and selectable riding modes.

Powered by a 1200cc, 8-valve, parallel twin engine, the new liquid-cooled, ‘low-inertia-high performance’ engine puts out 97hp at 6,750rpm – 62% more than the previous Thruxton – and 152Nm of torque at just 4,950rpm – a stonking 62% more power than before.

Being a modern Triumph, it naturally comes with impressive levels of craftsmanship, with just the right amount of modern technology delivered in true-to-form simplicity.

Triumph-11
Big Brembo brakes have received rave reviews from the world’s motorcycling media.

On the safety front, it comes with an ABS braking system, a ride-by-wire throttle system that also gives you three selectable riding modes – road, rain and sport. It also has traction control and a torque assist clutch, as well as a LED rear light, Daytime Running Lights (DRL) up front, an engine immobiliser and for the sake of convenience, a USB charging socket.

The incredible attention to detail and great build quality is typical of modern Triumphs.

As with the Thruxton R, both offer the highest quality materials and finishing, gorgeous design lines and a big engine that does not pale too much in comparison with the top of the line Thruxton R.

Highlights for the Bonneville T120 and T120 Black are the LED rear lights.
