Triumph Showcases Bonneville Street Twin With Scrambler Kit at MotoDay 2016

Triumph Motorcycles India commemorated World Motorcycle Day by taking part in MotoDay 2016, held on the 18^th and 19^th of June at Lavasa near Pune. The biking event, conducted by MotoDreamz, is now in its third year and Triumph used the stage to take the wraps off a special custom Bonneville Street Twin.

Part of the “Inspiration Kits” that Triumph is offering with its new range of Bonneville street bikes, the Scrambler Kit adds on a raised exhaust and becomes narrow at the rear, features more in line with scrambler motorcycles. The purely cosmetic kit means that motive power still remains the same: the new 900cc ‘high torque’ parallel twin engine which can churn out 55PS of power and 80Nm of torque, paired to a six-speed gearbox. No word on how much the Scrambler Kit will cost, although the standard Bonneville Twin retails for Rs 6.90 lakh, ex-showroom Delhi.

Triumph also showcased the newly launched Thruxton R cafe racer at MotoDay 2016. The third model in the new Bonneville range after the Street Twin and Bonneville T120, the Thruxton R was launched at Rs 10.9 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) in the beginning of this month.
