Intermot show: Triumph Street Cup, T100 and T100 Black

We expected more, but Triumph revealed three new 900cc variants of its rapidly expanding Bonneville range with the Street Cup, T100 and T100 Black models.

All three bikes are powered by the firm’s water-cooled ‘high-torque’ eight-valve 900cc engine capable of 54hp (41kW) at 5900rpm and 80Nm of torque, peaking at a relatively low 3230rpm and transferred to the wheels via the a five-speed ’box.

The Street Cup appears to bridge the gap in Triumph’s line-up between the more traditionally styled Street Twin model and the now-1200cc cafe racer-style Thruxton. The newly unveiled bike boasts a rear seat cowl, bar-end mirrors, what Triumph is calling a racing-inspired fly screen as well as lowered handlebars.

With a largely accessible seat height of 780mm, the Street Cup tips the scales at 200kg (dry), uses a 41mm conventional fork up front and preload-adjustable twin shocks at the rear.

Electronics wise, the Street Cup comes equipped with a ride-by-wire throttle, ABS, switchable traction control and there’s a torque assist clutch as well as an underseat USB charging socket.

Following on from their 1200cc T120 siblings, the T100 and T100 Black form the entry point for the Bonneville line-up. While the T100 is all about the classic-look chrome, the Black version is exactly that — black. From the paintwork, to the wheels to the engine covers and the exhaust, everything that can be blacked-out has been.

Triumph isn’t quoting weight or seat height figures for the T100 duo, but expect them to be within coo-ee of the Street Cup. They boast the same electronic aids as the newly unveiled Street Cup and Triumph says there’s up to 150 accessories in its genuine options catalogue to personalise the T100s.

All three bikes are using the same instrument cluster which displays gear position, fuel range until empty, a service indicator, traction control settings and average and current fuel consumption, along with the regular info.

It appears we’ll have to wait until EICMA Show in Milan next month before we see the production version of the firm’s rumoured scrambler and bobber Bonneville models. Watch this space!
