Triumph Bonneville T120 (2025): Modern Classic, Real-World Muscle

The Triumph Bonneville T120 (2025) stays true to what riders love: iconic British style backed by effortless torque and everyday comfort. With its 1200cc “High Torque” parallel-twin, classic lines, and a thoughtful suite of rider aids, the T120 continues to be a benchmark for modern classics—equally at home cruising the city or stretching its legs on a weekend escape.

What’s new for 2025

For 2025, the Bonneville T120 carries forward its proven platform, with fresh colorways and detail refinements depending on market. The character-rich 1200cc twin, approachable ergonomics, and rider-assistance tech remain the stars of the show.

Highlights at a glance

  • 1200cc liquid‑cooled parallel-twin tuned for strong low‑to‑midrange torque
  • Two ride modes (Road, Rain) with switchable traction control
  • Cruise control and ABS (market equipment may vary)
  • Twin front discs for confident braking
  • Classic spoked wheels and timeless silhouette
  • Comfortable ergonomics and an approachable seat height (around 790 mm)
  • Also offered in a darker “T120 Black” style in many regions

How it rides

The T120’s smooth fueling and broad torque make it an easy companion in real-world riding. It pulls cleanly from low revs, settles into a relaxed cruise on the highway, and steers with neutral, predictable manners. The bench seat and upright posture keep longer days comfortable, while passenger space and accessory options (windscreen, luggage, heated grips) make light touring a natural fit.

Tech and convenience

Classic on the outside, contemporary underneath. The T120 features ride-by-wire with two modes, switchable traction control, and ABS for confidence in mixed conditions. Clear, analog‑style instruments with a digital display provide key info at a glance, and handy touches—like under‑seat USB and a wide accessory catalog—round out day-to-day usability.

Who is it for?

  • Riders who want authentic heritage styling without giving up modern safety tech
  • Commuters and weekend explorers seeking relaxed torque and comfort
  • Fans of customization looking for a high-quality base with strong aftermarket and factory accessory support
