Description
The Triumph Bonneville T40 brings the 1960s Bonneville look to a modern 350cc retro, with 28.6bhp, a four-inch TFT with Heritage Mode, cruise control and cornering ABS, from ₹2.8 lakh (ex-showroom). This walkaround covers its design, engine, chassis and features.
The T40 keeps the classic Bonneville silhouette: a round headlamp, a sculpted teardrop fuel tank, spoked wheels and twin-shock rear suspension. It comes in two-tone Meriden Blue, Aegean Blue or Fusion White, with hand-painted coach lining, aluminium engine covers, rubber tank knee pads, chrome mirrors, a grab hoop and brushed aluminium heel guards. The 350cc TR Series engine has a revised cylinder head for more low-rev torque, and Triumph claims 28.6bhp at 7,000rpm and 31.2Nm at 5,500rpm through a six-speed gearbox. The frame is a hybrid spine-and-perimeter tubular steel unit with a steel twin-sided swingarm. It has 18-inch front and 17-inch rear spoked wheels, a 43mm fork with 130mm of travel, twin rear shocks with preload adjustment, a 310mm front disc and a 255mm rear disc. The T40 is 2,120mm long with a 1,418mm wheelbase, a 790mm seat height that can be lowered to 770mm, and a wet weight of 195kg.
The four-inch circular TFT, which Triumph claims is class-leading, has phone connectivity, full-map navigation through the Triumph Navigation app and music control, with five customisable widgets on the backlit left switch cube. Heritage Mode swaps the screen for an analogue-style display inspired by the original Bonneville. It offers five riding modes (Road, Rain, Eco, and two customisable), cruise control, lean-sensitive Optimised Cornering ABS, and Optimised Cornering Traction Control.
