Triumph Introduces T40 Bonneville, a Lightweight Single‑Cylinder Classic
Triumph has added a new single‑cylinder model to its 400‑cc lineup, the T40 Bonneville. The bike uses the same 400‑cc engine found in other Triumph models but sits below the larger T100 and T120 in size. It shares the black paint option of its larger siblings, yet its design diverges significantly. The T40 features a single pea‑shooter exhaust and a more compact, squat stance compared to the other Bonneville variants. Triumph advertises a beginner‑friendly wet weight of 421 lb, lighter than any other Bonneville. The model sports a unique frame designed for twin rear shocks, a distinct engine tune and cam profile that prioritises torque, delivering 30 hp and 27 lb‑ft of peak torque. Its instrumentation includes a single four‑inch TFT screen with phone connectivity and five ride modes that work with lean‑sensitive ABS and traction control. The T40 is positioned as the pinnacle of Triumph’s 400‑series, offering a blend of classic styling, lightweight construction and modern electronics. Pricing details are expected in early 2025, with the bike likely to be priced above its same‑displacement siblings.
