The RIEJU Factory Team makes history once again in the 2025 FIM EnduroGP World Championship, claiming its second consecutive Women’s World Title with U.S. rider Rachel Gutish, while British rider Rosie Rowett completes a fantastic result for the team by stepping onto the final podium as World Vice-Champion.

Both RIEJU Factory Team riders arrived in Germany, for the fourth and final round of the season, after performing strongly throughout the year. Gutish, always consistent, came to Zschopau leading the class — meaning she only needed to finish the race to secure the coveted Women’s World Title.
The American rider knew she couldn’t make mistakes in this decisive round. Rachel started the first day highly focused, attacking from the beginning. Despite the tough conditions, with tricky terrain and low temperatures, she felt comfortable and dominated her main rival, winning by a margin of 1 minute and 28 seconds. With that advantage, Gutish entered Sunday’s race already touching the title — yet she kept pushing hard, leading the second day to take another victory and, with it, the FIM Enduro Women’s World Champion trophy.
Another milestone worth highlighting: Rachel Gutish becomes the first American rider ever to win an EnduroGP World Championship. Adding to that, she also recently achieved team victory at the ISDE in Italy — it truly doesn’t get any better!

Her teammate Rosie Rowett was not far behind. After winning the double British round and finishing near the front in the other events, she arrived in Germany in second place overall in the provisional standings. Rosie showed strong competitiveness, finishing third on Saturday’s podium. On Sunday, she took second place, earning enough points to secure the World Vice-Champion title — another great achievement that joins her recent title as French Women’s Enduro Champion.

It’s also worth noting that throughout the entire season, their RIEJU MR 300i motorcycles have proven extremely reliable, finishing every single race entered by the team’s riders.
Dominik Olszowy, once again, shone in Friday’s Super Test, clocking the second-fastest time of the night in the premier EnduroGP class — just thousandths of a second off victory — and first in Enduro3. Thanks to these outstanding results, Dominik finishes the season fourth overall and first in E3 in the specific Super Test standings.
After the promising start on Friday, Saturday brought some challenges when Olszowy had to retire during the fourth special test due to a foot injury caused by a mistake. He finally finished sixth in the overall E3 World Championship standings.
In the Junior class, Àlex Puey felt strong aboard his MR300i, fighting in every test. Despite a heavy crash that slowed him down, he didn’t give up and climbed onto the J2 podium in third place on Saturday.
On Sunday, he continued pushing hard, battling again for the podium but narrowly missing out by just five seconds, finishing fourth in J2. With these results, Àlex Puey concludes the World Championship 11th overall in Junior and 7th in J1.
Rachel Gutish:
“I’m so happy to be here — it feels like a dream come true. This is something we’ve all worked so hard for, and without the RIEJU Factory Team, it wouldn’t have been possible. At the beginning of the year, I had no team, nowhere to go, and honestly no hope of returning to EnduroGP. But RIEJU stepped in and saved my season. I’m so happy they believed in me, and I could bring home the World Title for them. I’m proud for myself and for my country. I’m very proud to be the first American — we finally have a World Championship title!”
Rosie Rowett:
“I had a really good weekend. I started a bit slow on Saturday because I hadn’t been able to train much on the bike before the race, but I gained speed towards the end of the day and was happy to finish third. I knew I needed to beat Francesca on Sunday and score enough points to secure second in the championship. She unfortunately had a bad crash early on and broke her bike, so Sunday became about reaching the finish together with Rachel — and we did, finishing second on the day as well. It was a great race and I’m really happy to take home second place in the Enduro Women’s World Championship.”
Dominik Olszowy:
“Unfortunately, this is not how I wanted to end my EnduroGP season, but that’s part of the sport. After finishing second in Friday’s Super Test, I felt amazing on my MR300i and really enjoyed the incredible track in Zschopau on Saturday. We were fighting for the podium, but a small mistake in one section caused a foot injury. I tried to keep going, but I couldn’t ride properly and had to retire after one and a half laps. It’s hard to accept, but at least I know I gave it my all. We’ve shown that we can fight for the podium, and we’ll come back stronger and faster for sure!
Huge thanks to the RIEJU Factory Team family for all their support and hard work throughout the season. The bike was flying in Germany this weekend, and I truly felt we could have made the podium. I couldn’t have done it without my sponsors and all the fans cheering for me at the races and online. Also, congratulations to my teammates Rachel Gutish and Rosie Rowett for their incredible 1–2 World Championship finish! Now I’ll head home for a medical check-up to assess the injury.”
Àlex Puey:
“I’m very happy with the weekend — we’ve been able to wrap up a good World Championship. On Saturday, we made it to the podium after fighting all day, even though I had a big crash that hurt my elbow quite badly. I still managed to get on the podium. Today, everyone was going really fast; I rode well too, but missed the podium by five seconds. I’m pleased with how we finished. Now it’s time to focus on the Spanish Championship, where I’m leading, and keep pushing!”
Miquel García (RIEJU Factory Team Manager):
“I’m very happy to announce that, for the second year in a row, we are Enduro Women’s World Champions with Rachel Gutish, and Runner-Up with Rosie Rowett. I’m very satisfied and proud of everyone who made this possible — especially the RIEJU staff and our sponsors — because racing is tough and challenging in every sense. We’ve been competing with the new MR300i, a model fully developed in Figueres, into which all our workers have poured great passion to make it highly competitive.
It’s truly remarkable that, for the first time in history, an American rider has won the Enduro Women’s World Title aboard our new Spanish-made motorcycle — a powerful combination that has proven to be outstanding. It moves me deeply to see all this come together and continue forward. Next season, we’ll return with the same drive and enthusiasm to keep pushing RIEJU to the top.”
A great season comes to an end, with the RIEJU Factory Team once again shining in the Enduro World Championship.
Congratulations to everyone who has been part of this incredible team! Now, onto 2026!

A refined evolution of Triumph’s classic British cruiser, the Bonneville Speedmaster, has been unveiled, revealing a larger 3.7 gal (14 liter) fuel tank, more comfort and new rider-focused technology.
Muscular and commanding, the Speedmaster’s low-slung profile exudes cruiser confidence. For 2026, a larger fuel tank, sharper bodywork, and refined detailing give it an even bolder presence. The increased fuel capacity not only enhances its long-distance capability but also reinforces its purposeful stance, amplifying the Speedmaster’s unmistakable silhouette.
Wider rider and passenger seats offer enhanced support and greater comfort for longer journeys, while new, more conventional straighter handlebars create a more natural, but still relaxed riding position. Together, these enhancements elevate the Speedmaster’s engaging ride, as well as its touring capability.
This updated 2026 model also features new rider-focused technology, gaining new leansensitive Optimized Cornering ABS and Traction Control, which discreetly gives riders an extra layer of confidence and control. A powerful new LED headlight and a cockpit-mounted USB-C power socket add modern convenience and visibility, especially on longer journeys.
The spoked 16-inch wheels, fitted with wide 130 and 150-section tires, deliver excellent grip in all conditions. New lightweight aluminum wheel rims reduce unsprung mass, enhancing agility and steering response, and sharpening the Speedmaster’s already effortless handling.
Available in two timeless color schemes, riders can choose between Carnival Red & Crystal White or Sapphire Black & Crystal White, each designed to complement the Speedmaster’s custom cruiser attitude.

Paul Stroud – Chief Commercial Officer, Triumph Motorcycles
“From its relaxed riding position and evocative twin soundtrack to its elegant detailing and agile handling, the Speedmaster has always been about the joy of the ride. It’s a bike that invites you to take your time and enjoy every mile. For 2026, we’ve sharpened its custom cruiser attitude with a more distinctive look, enhanced ergonomics, and new rider-focused technology. It’s a perfect blend of laid-back comfort and modern capability.
What truly sets the Speedmaster apart is its ability to deliver timeless Bonneville character with factory custom style and versatility. Whether you’re carving through curves or cruising coastlines, it offers a uniquely rewarding ride that stands out in the modern classic line-up. There’s nothing else quite like it in the market that offers this level of custom style, comfort and versatility straight from the factory.”

Enhanced Style and Presence
The Speedmaster’s silhouette remains timeless, but its presence on the road is now even more commanding.
The new, larger 3.7 gal (14 liter) fuel tank broadens the bike’s stance and extends its range, with restyled metal Triumph badges and beautifully crafted filler cap. Restyled side panels and intake covers create a sleeker, sharper look, and add a contemporary edge to its classic lines.
From vintage spark plug caps to carburetor-style throttle bodies and a classic side-mounted ignition barrel, every element of the Speedmaster has been meticulously crafted to deliver a truly authentic finish. The 1200cc high torque badge has been crafted from bronze, adding a premium touch. The shortened steel front mudguard, painted in Sapphire Black, features the same center ridge and return edge found on the rear, to enhance rigidity, as well as the style. The brushed engine covers and the clean engine design hides modern components for a truly authentic finish. The rear light and bullet style indicators are clean and classic.
Two new color schemes are available for 2026, and customers can choose from Carnival Red above Crystal White with Empire Gold detailing, or Sapphire Black above Crystal White, also with Empire Gold detailing. From the deep luster of the paint to the fine seat stitching and sparkling chrome that catches the light and every eye, the Bonneville Speedmaster is carefully crafted with a flawless finish.

Refined Comfort and Control
The Speedmaster’s riding position has been subtly refined for 2026, with new handlebars offering a more engaged feel while retaining the bike’s easy-going character. The low 27.8-inch (705mm) seat height ensures accessibility for riders of all sizes, and the seat configuration can be easily switched between twin and solo setups to suit personal style or touring needs.
Both rider and passenger seats have been redesigned with wider bases and deeper foam for improved comfort, finished with elegant contrast piping. Whenever the journey calls for a companion, the split seat delivers miles of shared comfort, and a passenger backrest can be added. For solo rides, remove the passenger pad to sharpen the stripped-back silhouette or add a rear luggage rack.
The Speedmaster’s innovative steel swing cage rear suspension conceals the linkage-driven monoshock, preserving the clean, stripped-back silhouette of a hardtail, delivering pure custom attitude with modern performance. Up front, 1.9 in (47mm) Showa cartridge forks offer generous travel, allowing the Speedmaster to soak up whatever the road throws its way with ease.
Intuitive, rider-focused features include the new lean-sensitive Optimized Cornering ABS and Traction Control, powered by an advanced IMU, delivering seamless rider support in all conditions. Two riding modes, Road and Rain, adjust throttle response and traction settings, while cruise control adds convenience for longer journeys. A slip and assist clutch ensures smooth gear changes, and the ride-by-wire throttle system provides precise control. Brembo brake calipers and twin 12.2 inch (310mm) front discs offer powerful, progressive stopping performance.

Legendary Bonneville Performance
At the heart of the Speedmaster is Triumph’s liquid-cooled 1200cc Bonneville twin. With peak power of 77 HP (78PS) and a high torque output, peaking at 78.18 ft-lb (106Nm), and delivered low in the rev range, the engine responds instantly with every twist of the throttle, delivering an effortless surge of torque that propels the rider onward, chasing the horizon.
The 270-degree crank angle also ensures a responsive and engaging ride, while EURO 5+ compliance guarantees low emissions and excellent fuel economy. The chrome exhaust, which flows seamlessly into twin slash-cut silencers, delivers the Speedmaster’s signature deep, rich Bonneville sound.

From leather or wax cotton panniers to touring screens and footboards, high bars, teardrop mirrors, custom badges or a side-mounted license plate hanger, all accessories are designed and tested alongside the bike and have with the same two-year unlimited mileage warranty as the motorcycle.
On the Road
With two-year unlimited mileage warranty and a class-leading 10,000-mile (16,000 km) service interval, the Speedmaster is built for more time on the road and less time in the workshop, giving riders the freedom to enjoy every mile.

Yamaha Taiwan launched the first two RDNA Junior Training Camps this year, each featuring a four-day program specially designed by California Superbike School. A total of 27 promising riders between ages 18-27 came from across Taiwan to Penbay Karting Circuit in Donggang, Pingdong and to K1 Karting Center, XiHu, Changhua to participate in intensive training and races. The students were selected from Yamaha motorcycle owners who had racing experience; they were required to provide lap times and official racing results, and to upload on-bike, on-track video to validate their riding ability.
The name of the program refers to the “R” used in Yamaha’s “R World” promotional campaign for sportbike models; the company also says it represents Yamaha’s racing heritage and racing pedigree, which it says is in Yamaha’s DNA.

The program aims to elevate local talent through international-standard, systematic coaching, enhancing their competitiveness on the global stage. Also in attendance was Superbike School graduate and three-time Australian Superbike Champion Mike Jones, who gave valuable input to the participants.
The company issued a statement that read, “Yamaha Taiwan holds a series of RDNA events during 2025. Including this Junior Camp training program, also some ride days, and sponsorships for Taiwan racers.”

The Texas-based Central Motorcycle Roadracing Association is exploring the possibility of selling the assets of the non-profit organization to a new owner in the hopes of improving and securing the future of the series.
CMRA has been a non-profit organization since its inception in 1974, and as such has to operate within certain legal restrictions on financial operations, advertising, and other activities that a for-profit organization could engage in, says Walter Walker, Director of Competition and a longtime racer with CMRA.
“There are a fair amount of limitations that come along with being a nonprofit,” Walker says. “It’s time to make some sort of move. We’re trying to think long term.”
The CMRA Board of Directors is scheduled to hold a meeting at its final 2025 event at Eagles Canyon Raceway to outline what it is looking for in proposals. Essentially, Walker says the organization wants to turn the operation over to a for-profit operator who will continue to run the series. As a for-profit organization, CMRA – or “CMRA 2.0,” as Walker describes it – could have an easier time securing financing for long-term improvements, and the future health of the series is what the organization wants to secure, Walker says.
“We have a huge responsibility not only to our racers, but to our whole community. We have businesses that have tied their operations to what we do,” Walker says. “If this thing goes away, it will negatively impact them. We don’t want to leave them high and dry.”
The term “sale,” in the traditional sense, doesn’t really apply, Walker says. The new operation would purchase the physical and intellectual assets of CMRA, and proceeds would go to winding down the non-profit organization’s operations and dissolving it. If there is any money left, Walker says, it will likely be donated to another non-profit organization. The board members and employees will not receive money from the sale of the assets, Walker says.
The hope is that the new organization will take over operations for the 2026 season. But if none of the proposals are acceptable, Walker says, the plan is to simply carry on with business as usual.
“The money’s not the point. It’s about keeping the thing going. It’s about who’s got the best plan to move forward and keep the thing going. That’s who’s going to wind up with CMRA 2.0 – if it happens,” Walker says. “If we get five proposals in, and every one of them is crap … we’ll just do what we’ve always done, make it to the next round – and the next.”
Best qualifying of the year for Sonya as she ends maiden WorldWCR campaign in Spain.
Sonya Lloyd’s 2025 FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship concluded this past weekend at the iconic Jerez circuit in southern Spain.
For Lloyd, the event rounded out what has been a positive first full season on the world stage after only riding on tarmac for a couple of years.
Fast from the opening on track session of the weekend on Friday, she claimed seventeenth on the grid in Superpole – her best performance of the season.
With optimism high for Saturday’s opening race, Sonya made a good start but unfortunately got pushed wide at turn two after making places in the second attempt to run the race following a start procedure issue. With top fifteen pace she finished P18. Race two saw her once again finish inside the top twenty. She crossed the line nineteenth after another hard-fought race.
Sonya now returns home to the US where work for her 2026 season is already underway.
Sonya will announce her plans for next year shortly.

Sonya Lloyd:“We took the time in practice since I had raced in Jerez last year as a wildcard to try some different tyre pressures to see what worked best for me which meant in Superpole I could stay out the whole session. Luckily, I found some other riders to chase down and ended up having a pretty good Superpole, qualifying in seventeenth position which was my best so far in the world championship. I did not get a great launch in race one but there was a light malfunction so they red flagged the race. After about seven minutes they sent us back out for the restart. In the second start I got a much better start and gained some places into turn one. Into turn two I got stood up a little and got shuffled back a bit. I spent the first part of the race just trying to pick off those riders again but once I regained the places the next group was out of reach. I kept pushing and my last lap was my fastest again which was awesome and a full second quicker than the riders I was chasing down. I had the pace for fourteenth which is a huge step I was confident for race two. Race two was not how I wanted to end the season. I started sixteenth – my highest grid spot yet – and I was confident. I made a good start and had a strong first couple of corners but at turn five someone got a bit eager and pushed me and a few other riders wide. I had to jump the kerb to get back on track and was almost last. I fought my way back into the top twenty and made some good passes. I would have liked to have fought with the group I was with as world championship points were on the cards, but I learned a lot and can be happy with how I rode. I know what I need to work on in the off-season, and I will be doing a lot of flat track and mini moto riding to fine tune my race craft. I really hope to be back in WorldWCR next year. I want to thank everyone who has supported me this year. It has been a huge effort with a lot of flights, new countries and new cultures and it has been one of the most incredible experiences of my life. The Strack Racing / Attack Performance Superbike team from MotoAmerica were so welcoming this past weekend and I want to give a big thanks to them as well as Garrett Gerloff and Tim Robinson for making the last round such an enjoyable experience.”

Triumph Motorcycles has announced the next chapter in a story that never stands still, as it reveals a new Bonneville T100, T120 and T120 Black for model year 2026.
First launched in 1959, the Bonneville redefined motorcycling with its blend of performance, style and character. Today, the T100, T120 and T120 Black continue the legacy, evolving with subtle design refinements and new rider-focused technology, seamlessly integrated to preserve the timeless style and evocative riding experience of the original Modern Classic.
Staying true to the spirit of the original, the new T100 and T120 retain the unmistakable Bonneville silhouette. Signature features like the deeply sculpted metal fuel tank, classic rubber knee pads, and iconic Triumph tank badges are joined by new hand-finished paint schemes and coachline detailing. A new circular graphic on the side panels frames the Bonneville logo in silver or gold, celebrating the name that started it all.

For 2026, the Bonneville range introduces a fresh selection of premium paint schemes across all models, with two new color options each for the T100 and T120, and a striking new monochrome scheme for the ever-popular T120 Black, offering riders even more ways to express their style.
New technology adds modern functionality without detracting from the classic character or looks, including new lean-sensitive Optimized Cornering ABS and Traction Control, a powerful new LED headlight, and a cockpit-mounted USB-C power socket, as well as cruise control fitted as standard for the T120 and T120 Black. Cruise Control is offered as an accessory on the T100.

Paul Stroud – Chief Commercial Officer, Triumph Motorcycles:
“The Bonneville T120 is the original. It’s the bike that defined a generation and continues to inspire riders today. What makes it so special is its ability to evolve while staying true to its soul. For 2026, we’ve updated the styling, introduced new rider-focused technology, and enhanced the overall ride. The T120 Black, with its stealthy attitude and premium finishes, is a natural choice for newer riders who want custom style with real substance.
The T100 shares that same iconic DNA, but with an even broader appeal. It’s often the first big bike for many, with a third of customers stepping up to their first large-capacity motorcycle. It’s aspirational, yet accessible. With advanced features like lean-sensitive Optimized Cornering ABS, Traction Control, and selectable Road and Rain modes, the T100 is exactly what today’s rider is looking for. It delivers smooth, responsive control and a ride that feels effortless, bringing modern capability to a bike that still captures the unmistakable spirit of a true classic.”

Timeless Design, Contemporary Detail
The choice of icons past and present and a canvas for the world’s custom creators; the Bonneville is still the style icon to ride and be seen riding. The engine design remains true to its classic roots, featuring black powder-coated cases, bright-machined cooling fins, and neatly concealed cabling that keeps the overall look clean and uncluttered.
Premium materials and meticulous craftsmanship define every surface, whether polished chrome, brushed stainless steel, powder-coated, or anodized.
The Bonneville T100 has two color options for 2026; striking Jet Black and Diablo Red with hand-painted gold coachline detailing, or contemporary Stone Grey as standard.
Customers have a choice of new colors for the T120 too; a timeless Aegean Blue and New England White with hand-painted black coachline detailing. Like the T100, the standard Stone Grey paint option looks set to be the more contemporary pick.
The popular T120 Black with its blacked-out engine casings, exhausts and details, plus a brown bench seat that contrasts beautifully with its stealth styling, is also available in two monochrome color schemes; classic Jet Black or the premium option, a moody new Matte Silver Ice and Matte Sapphire Black.
The new LED headlight on all three models retain its classic round shape but now delivers significantly increased brightness for enhanced visibility. Beautifully-finished twin analogue instrument gauges blend tradition with technology, featuring multi-function LCD screens that display fuel range, gear position, riding mode and more.

High Torque Twin
At the core of both T120 models is Triumph’s 1200cc ’High Torque’ twin engine. Tuned for effortless response across the rev range, it delivers 77.4 ft-lbs (105Nm) of torque at just 3,500rpm and peak power of 79 HP (80PS) at 6,550rpm. Eagerly responding to every twist of the throttle with a surge of torque, strong acceleration and loads of character, the T120 always delivers an exhilarating performance.
Powered by Triumph’s responsive 900cc Bonneville twin, the Bonneville T100 is punchy, tractable and full of classic character. With peak power of 64 HP (65PS) at 7,000 rpm, and peak torque of 59 t-lbs (80Nm) at 3,750rpm, it has an intuitive throttle response that’s easy and effortless.
The 270-degree crank spacing gives both 1200cc and 900cc engines their distinctive character and addictive sound, while EURO 5+ compliance guarantees low emissions and excellent fuel economy. All three models feature a torque-assist clutch that ensures a light lever feel and smooth gear changes, with the 1200cc models benefitting from an additional sixth gear ratio.
Triumph engineers have meticulously integrated this new technology to preserve each Bonneville’s modern classic aesthetic, while also achieving low emissions, impressive fuel efficiency, and class-leading 10,000-mile service intervals.

Technology That Enhances, Never Distracts
All three models now feature Optimized Cornering ABS and Traction Control, powered by an advanced Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). This intelligent system continuously monitors the bike’s movement and lean angle and other parameters, to deliver just the right amount of support when it’s needed, enhancing safety without interfering with the ride. By adjusting braking and traction response based on real-time data, it offers discreet, confidence-inspiring control in all conditions, without unnecessary electronic intervention.
New for the T100, all three models now have two riding modes, Road and Rain, tailoring throttle response and traction control to suit the conditions. Another new rider-focused technology for 2026 is cruise control, easily operated via a dedicated button on the left switch cube.
Now fitted as standard on the T120 and T120 Black, cruise control is available as an accessory for the T100. All models also gain a USB-C charging port discreetly located beneath the instruments, so riders can keep devices topped up on longer journeys.

Engineered for the Ride
The T100, T120, and T120 Black all share the same tubular steel twin-cradle frame, paired with high-quality KYB suspension for a strong, lightweight, and responsive chassis. Cartridge forks and preload-adjustable twin shocks deliver confident handling and comfort. On the T120 and T120 Black, braking performance comes from high-specification twin Brembos for progressive stopping power, and on the T100 a powerful two-piston Nissin floating caliper, both complemented by a Nissin two-piston floating caliper at the rear.
Michelin Road Classic tires offer excellent grip and feedback in all conditions, while aluminumrimmed spoked wheels complete the authentic Bonneville look and further contribute towards the light and responsive steering feel. All three models share a low 31 in (790mm) seat height, low center of gravity and upright seating position, making them comfortable and confidenceinspiring for riders of all sizes.

Genuine Triumph Accessories
As seen in the recent global Triumph Originals custom competition, customization has always been a huge part of the Bonneville story. The timeless design of the T120 and T100 make them the perfect platform for personal expression, whether owners are looking for subtle styling tweaks or full custom builds.
In fact, more than 80% of T120 owners purchase genuine Triumph accessories with their new motorcycle. With over 100 genuine Triumph accessories available, there’s plenty of options, from heritage tank bags and soft panniers, to seats, lighting, engine bars and sump guards, and different style badges for the fuel tank and engine covers.
All accessories are designed alongside the bike for perfect fit and function, and when fitted from new, are covered by the same 2-year, unlimited mileage warranty.

The Bonneville Name
The original Bonneville was first unveiled in 1958, taking its name from the salt flats where Triumph had claimed the land speed record two years earlier.
The Bonneville T120 was a game-changer, redefining what performance motorcycles were all about, and becoming the bike of choice for custom builders and racers. The name has become one of the most iconic and evocative in motorcycling, synonymous with timeless British style and performance.
At the heart of the Triumph Modern Classic line-up, the Bonneville T100, T120 and T120 Black closely mirror the heritage design of that iconic 1960s T120 model, faithfully recreating the timeless look and rich character, while delivering expertly engineered modern capability, a polished finish and a canvas on which to create your perfect classic.
On the Road
With two-year unlimited mileage warranty and a class-leading 10,000-mile (16,000 km) service interval, the Bonneville is built for more time on the road and less time in the workshop, giving riders the freedom to enjoy every mile.
These motorcycles are available to order now at authorized Triumph dealerships. The T100 pricing starts at $11,495 USD / $12,795 CAD and the T120 and T120 Black start at $13,995 USD / $14,895 CAD with models arriving in dealerships beginning March 2026.

Attack Performance Strack Racing Yamaha’s Bobby Fong wraps up WorldSBK wildcard debut with promising strides in Jerez.
MARIETTA, Ga. Attack Performance Strack Racing Yamaha’s Bobby Fong continued his forward progress in the FIM Superbike World Championship, capping off his second and final wild card appearance of the season at the series finale in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.
With some more seat time under his belt, Fong improved his pace throughout the weekend at the Circuito de Jerez – Ángel Nieto. After qualifying 24th, the Californian finished 21st in Saturday’s Race 1, and followed it up with a pair of 19th-place finishes in Sunday’s Superpole Race and Race 2.
The American wild card entry – led by Attack Performance, with support from fellow official Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. team Strack Racing – gathered valuable data and experience in the world championship and now looks ahead to winter testing in preparation for the 2026 MotoAmerica Superbike season.
Richard Stanboli – Attack Performance Strack Racing Yamaha’s Team Manager:
“Jerez was a fun track, and again, the World Superbike paddock was very welcoming. A big thanks to Massimo (Neri) and the rest of the Pata team for all the technical support – they were extremely helpful.
“The finishing order doesn’t reflect the continuous improvement we made with both Bobby and our R1. We go away confident that with more time on the Pirelli tires and more laps on the European tracks, he would improve further. This experience will for sure make him a better MotoAmerica racer. We now look forward to winter testing armed with a few more ideas and a new priority list.”

Bobby Fong – Attack Performance Strack Racing Yamaha’s #50:
“It’s been a lot better than Estoril. In Race 1, I could see some people close by in front of me, so that was nice and encouraging for the Superpole Race and Race 2.
“The Superpole Race was really good. I definitely dropped my times and matched my qualifying time pretty consistently in the Superpole Race, so I was stoked about that. We tried something today, and it’s definitely helped me out a lot. In Race 2, I didn’t have the best feeling with the front tire from the get-go. I was in the 1:41s – which was the same as the big group in front of us – so my pace was okay. I just wish it had gone a little better.
“Obviously, as a racer, you want to be a lot better and closer to the front guys, but I’ve got to be satisfied because we did improve, and the gap was shrinking to the guys up front from Estoril until now. I can’t really describe how different it is here compared to the U.S. Overall, it’s been positive. Each time we went out, we improved. The team and I have definitely learned a lot while being here.”

The first day of post-season testing for the 2026 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship took place at Circuito de Jerez – Ángel Nieto, with riders and teams returning to the track just days after the conclusion of the 2025 season.
Day 1 Highlights
Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) dominated the first day of testing, setting a fastest lap of 1’38.027 with 40 minutes remaining, surpassing his best laps from Race 1 and Race 2 of the 2025 Pirelli Spanish Round. His new teammate Iker Lecuona made his first laps on Ducati machinery, finishing 7th fastest with a 1’39.520.
Xavi Vierge (Pata Maxus Yamaha) emerged as the top Yamaha rider on his debut, securing 2nd fastest with a 1’39.137 on his 39th lap. Andrea Locatelli ended 5th fastest with 1’39.479, joining Manzi and Vierge on track for the final laps of the session.
Rookie Stefano Manzi (GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team), in his first appearance as a full-time WorldSBK rider, clocked 1’39.349 on his 87th lap, finishing 3rd fastest and fastest among the Yamaha R1s. He also completed the most laps of any rider, with 95 laps by the session’s end.
Starting his second WorldSBK season, Bahattin Sofuoglu (Yamaha Motoxracing) rose to 4th fastest with a 1’39.433. New to the team, Mattia Rato completed 60 laps, finishing 14th fastest with 1’41.243.

The RIEJU Factory Team makes history once again in the 2025 FIM EnduroGP World Championship, claiming its second consecutive Women’s World Title with U.S. rider Rachel Gutish, while British rider Rosie Rowett completes a fantastic result for the team by stepping onto the final podium as World Vice-Champion.

Both RIEJU Factory Team riders arrived in Germany, for the fourth and final round of the season, after performing strongly throughout the year. Gutish, always consistent, came to Zschopau leading the class — meaning she only needed to finish the race to secure the coveted Women’s World Title.
The American rider knew she couldn’t make mistakes in this decisive round. Rachel started the first day highly focused, attacking from the beginning. Despite the tough conditions, with tricky terrain and low temperatures, she felt comfortable and dominated her main rival, winning by a margin of 1 minute and 28 seconds. With that advantage, Gutish entered Sunday’s race already touching the title — yet she kept pushing hard, leading the second day to take another victory and, with it, the FIM Enduro Women’s World Champion trophy.
Another milestone worth highlighting: Rachel Gutish becomes the first American rider ever to win an EnduroGP World Championship. Adding to that, she also recently achieved team victory at the ISDE in Italy — it truly doesn’t get any better!

Her teammate Rosie Rowett was not far behind. After winning the double British round and finishing near the front in the other events, she arrived in Germany in second place overall in the provisional standings. Rosie showed strong competitiveness, finishing third on Saturday’s podium. On Sunday, she took second place, earning enough points to secure the World Vice-Champion title — another great achievement that joins her recent title as French Women’s Enduro Champion.

It’s also worth noting that throughout the entire season, their RIEJU MR 300i motorcycles have proven extremely reliable, finishing every single race entered by the team’s riders.
Dominik Olszowy, once again, shone in Friday’s Super Test, clocking the second-fastest time of the night in the premier EnduroGP class — just thousandths of a second off victory — and first in Enduro3. Thanks to these outstanding results, Dominik finishes the season fourth overall and first in E3 in the specific Super Test standings.
After the promising start on Friday, Saturday brought some challenges when Olszowy had to retire during the fourth special test due to a foot injury caused by a mistake. He finally finished sixth in the overall E3 World Championship standings.
In the Junior class, Àlex Puey felt strong aboard his MR300i, fighting in every test. Despite a heavy crash that slowed him down, he didn’t give up and climbed onto the J2 podium in third place on Saturday.
On Sunday, he continued pushing hard, battling again for the podium but narrowly missing out by just five seconds, finishing fourth in J2. With these results, Àlex Puey concludes the World Championship 11th overall in Junior and 7th in J1.
Rachel Gutish:
“I’m so happy to be here — it feels like a dream come true. This is something we’ve all worked so hard for, and without the RIEJU Factory Team, it wouldn’t have been possible. At the beginning of the year, I had no team, nowhere to go, and honestly no hope of returning to EnduroGP. But RIEJU stepped in and saved my season. I’m so happy they believed in me, and I could bring home the World Title for them. I’m proud for myself and for my country. I’m very proud to be the first American — we finally have a World Championship title!”
Rosie Rowett:
“I had a really good weekend. I started a bit slow on Saturday because I hadn’t been able to train much on the bike before the race, but I gained speed towards the end of the day and was happy to finish third. I knew I needed to beat Francesca on Sunday and score enough points to secure second in the championship. She unfortunately had a bad crash early on and broke her bike, so Sunday became about reaching the finish together with Rachel — and we did, finishing second on the day as well. It was a great race and I’m really happy to take home second place in the Enduro Women’s World Championship.”
Dominik Olszowy:
“Unfortunately, this is not how I wanted to end my EnduroGP season, but that’s part of the sport. After finishing second in Friday’s Super Test, I felt amazing on my MR300i and really enjoyed the incredible track in Zschopau on Saturday. We were fighting for the podium, but a small mistake in one section caused a foot injury. I tried to keep going, but I couldn’t ride properly and had to retire after one and a half laps. It’s hard to accept, but at least I know I gave it my all. We’ve shown that we can fight for the podium, and we’ll come back stronger and faster for sure!
Huge thanks to the RIEJU Factory Team family for all their support and hard work throughout the season. The bike was flying in Germany this weekend, and I truly felt we could have made the podium. I couldn’t have done it without my sponsors and all the fans cheering for me at the races and online. Also, congratulations to my teammates Rachel Gutish and Rosie Rowett for their incredible 1–2 World Championship finish! Now I’ll head home for a medical check-up to assess the injury.”
Àlex Puey:
“I’m very happy with the weekend — we’ve been able to wrap up a good World Championship. On Saturday, we made it to the podium after fighting all day, even though I had a big crash that hurt my elbow quite badly. I still managed to get on the podium. Today, everyone was going really fast; I rode well too, but missed the podium by five seconds. I’m pleased with how we finished. Now it’s time to focus on the Spanish Championship, where I’m leading, and keep pushing!”
Miquel García (RIEJU Factory Team Manager):
“I’m very happy to announce that, for the second year in a row, we are Enduro Women’s World Champions with Rachel Gutish, and Runner-Up with Rosie Rowett. I’m very satisfied and proud of everyone who made this possible — especially the RIEJU staff and our sponsors — because racing is tough and challenging in every sense. We’ve been competing with the new MR300i, a model fully developed in Figueres, into which all our workers have poured great passion to make it highly competitive.
It’s truly remarkable that, for the first time in history, an American rider has won the Enduro Women’s World Title aboard our new Spanish-made motorcycle — a powerful combination that has proven to be outstanding. It moves me deeply to see all this come together and continue forward. Next season, we’ll return with the same drive and enthusiasm to keep pushing RIEJU to the top.”
A great season comes to an end, with the RIEJU Factory Team once again shining in the Enduro World Championship.
Congratulations to everyone who has been part of this incredible team! Now, onto 2026!

A refined evolution of Triumph’s classic British cruiser, the Bonneville Speedmaster, has been unveiled, revealing a larger 3.7 gal (14 liter) fuel tank, more comfort and new rider-focused technology.
Muscular and commanding, the Speedmaster’s low-slung profile exudes cruiser confidence. For 2026, a larger fuel tank, sharper bodywork, and refined detailing give it an even bolder presence. The increased fuel capacity not only enhances its long-distance capability but also reinforces its purposeful stance, amplifying the Speedmaster’s unmistakable silhouette.
Wider rider and passenger seats offer enhanced support and greater comfort for longer journeys, while new, more conventional straighter handlebars create a more natural, but still relaxed riding position. Together, these enhancements elevate the Speedmaster’s engaging ride, as well as its touring capability.
This updated 2026 model also features new rider-focused technology, gaining new leansensitive Optimized Cornering ABS and Traction Control, which discreetly gives riders an extra layer of confidence and control. A powerful new LED headlight and a cockpit-mounted USB-C power socket add modern convenience and visibility, especially on longer journeys.

Paul Stroud – Chief Commercial Officer, Triumph Motorcycles
“From its relaxed riding position and evocative twin soundtrack to its elegant detailing and agile handling, the Speedmaster has always been about the joy of the ride. It’s a bike that invites you to take your time and enjoy every mile. For 2026, we’ve sharpened its custom cruiser attitude with a more distinctive look, enhanced ergonomics, and new rider-focused technology. It’s a perfect blend of laid-back comfort and modern capability.
What truly sets the Speedmaster apart is its ability to deliver timeless Bonneville character with factory custom style and versatility. Whether you’re carving through curves or cruising coastlines, it offers a uniquely rewarding ride that stands out in the modern classic line-up. There’s nothing else quite like it in the market that offers this level of custom style, comfort and versatility straight from the factory.”

Enhanced Style and Presence
The Speedmaster’s silhouette remains timeless, but its presence on the road is now even more commanding.
The new, larger 3.7 gal (14 liter) fuel tank broadens the bike’s stance and extends its range, with restyled metal Triumph badges and beautifully crafted filler cap. Restyled side panels and intake covers create a sleeker, sharper look, and add a contemporary edge to its classic lines.
From vintage spark plug caps to carburetor-style throttle bodies and a classic side-mounted ignition barrel, every element of the Speedmaster has been meticulously crafted to deliver a truly authentic finish. The 1200cc high torque badge has been crafted from bronze, adding a premium touch. The shortened steel front mudguard, painted in Sapphire Black, features the same center ridge and return edge found on the rear, to enhance rigidity, as well as the style. The brushed engine covers and the clean engine design hides modern components for a truly authentic finish. The rear light and bullet style indicators are clean and classic.
Two new color schemes are available for 2026, and customers can choose from Carnival Red above Crystal White with Empire Gold detailing, or Sapphire Black above Crystal White, also with Empire Gold detailing. From the deep luster of the paint to the fine seat stitching and sparkling chrome that catches the light and every eye, the Bonneville Speedmaster is carefully crafted with a flawless finish.

Refined Comfort and Control
The Speedmaster’s riding position has been subtly refined for 2026, with new handlebars offering a more engaged feel while retaining the bike’s easy-going character. The low 27.8-inch (705mm) seat height ensures accessibility for riders of all sizes, and the seat configuration can be easily switched between twin and solo setups to suit personal style or touring needs.
Both rider and passenger seats have been redesigned with wider bases and deeper foam for improved comfort, finished with elegant contrast piping. Whenever the journey calls for a companion, the split seat delivers miles of shared comfort, and a passenger backrest can be added. For solo rides, remove the passenger pad to sharpen the stripped-back silhouette or add a rear luggage rack.
The Speedmaster’s innovative steel swing cage rear suspension conceals the linkage-driven monoshock, preserving the clean, stripped-back silhouette of a hardtail, delivering pure custom attitude with modern performance. Up front, 1.9 in (47mm) Showa cartridge forks offer generous travel, allowing the Speedmaster to soak up whatever the road throws its way with ease.
Intuitive, rider-focused features include the new lean-sensitive Optimized Cornering ABS and Traction Control, powered by an advanced IMU, delivering seamless rider support in all conditions. Two riding modes, Road and Rain, adjust throttle response and traction settings, while cruise control adds convenience for longer journeys. A slip and assist clutch ensures smooth gear changes, and the ride-by-wire throttle system provides precise control. Brembo brake calipers and twin 12.2 inch (310mm) front discs offer powerful, progressive stopping performance.

Legendary Bonneville Performance
At the heart of the Speedmaster is Triumph’s liquid-cooled 1200cc Bonneville twin. With peak power of 77 HP (78PS) and a high torque output, peaking at 78.18 ft-lb (106Nm), and delivered low in the rev range, the engine responds instantly with every twist of the throttle, delivering an effortless surge of torque that propels the rider onward, chasing the horizon.
The 270-degree crank angle also ensures a responsive and engaging ride, while EURO 5+ compliance guarantees low emissions and excellent fuel economy. The chrome exhaust, which flows seamlessly into twin slash-cut silencers, delivers the Speedmaster’s signature deep, rich Bonneville sound.

On the Road

2 riders on track during the first RDNA Junior Training Camp. Photo courtesy Yamaha Taiwan
Yamaha Taiwan launched the first two RDNA Junior Training Camps this year, each featuring a four-day program specially designed by California Superbike School. A total of 27 promising riders between ages 18-27 came from across Taiwan to Penbay Karting Circuit in Donggang, Pingdong and to K1 Karting Center, XiHu, Changhua to participate in intensive training and races. The students were selected from Yamaha motorcycle owners who had racing experience; they were required to provide lap times and official racing results, and to upload on-bike, on-track video to validate their riding ability.
The name of the program refers to the “R” used in Yamaha’s “R World” promotional campaign for sportbike models; the company also says it represents Yamaha’s racing heritage and racing pedigree, which it says is in Yamaha’s DNA.

The program aims to elevate local talent through international-standard, systematic coaching, enhancing their competitiveness on the global stage. Also in attendance was Superbike School graduate and three-time Australian Superbike Champion Mike Jones, who gave valuable input to the participants.
The company issued a statement that read, “Yamaha Taiwan holds a series of RDNA events during 2025. Including this Junior Camp training program, also some ride days, and sponsorships for Taiwan racers.”

The Texas-based Central Motorcycle Roadracing Association is exploring the possibility of selling the assets of the non-profit organization to a new owner in the hopes of improving and securing the future of the series.
CMRA has been a non-profit organization since its inception in 1974, and as such has to operate within certain legal restrictions on financial operations, advertising, and other activities that a for-profit organization could engage in, says Walter Walker, Director of Competition and a longtime racer with CMRA.
“There are a fair amount of limitations that come along with being a nonprofit,” Walker says. “It’s time to make some sort of move. We’re trying to think long term.”
The CMRA Board of Directors is scheduled to hold a meeting at its final 2025 event at Eagles Canyon Raceway to outline what it is looking for in proposals. Essentially, Walker says the organization wants to turn the operation over to a for-profit operator who will continue to run the series. As a for-profit organization, CMRA – or “CMRA 2.0,” as Walker describes it – could have an easier time securing financing for long-term improvements, and the future health of the series is what the organization wants to secure, Walker says.
“We have a huge responsibility not only to our racers, but to our whole community. We have businesses that have tied their operations to what we do,” Walker says. “If this thing goes away, it will negatively impact them. We don’t want to leave them high and dry.”
The term “sale,” in the traditional sense, doesn’t really apply, Walker says. The new operation would purchase the physical and intellectual assets of CMRA, and proceeds would go to winding down the non-profit organization’s operations and dissolving it. If there is any money left, Walker says, it will likely be donated to another non-profit organization. The board members and employees will not receive money from the sale of the assets, Walker says.
The hope is that the new organization will take over operations for the 2026 season. But if none of the proposals are acceptable, Walker says, the plan is to simply carry on with business as usual.
“The money’s not the point. It’s about keeping the thing going. It’s about who’s got the best plan to move forward and keep the thing going. That’s who’s going to wind up with CMRA 2.0 – if it happens,” Walker says. “If we get five proposals in, and every one of them is crap … we’ll just do what we’ve always done, make it to the next round – and the next.”

Best qualifying of the year for Sonya as she ends maiden WorldWCR campaign in Spain.
Sonya Lloyd’s 2025 FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship concluded this past weekend at the iconic Jerez circuit in southern Spain.
For Lloyd, the event rounded out what has been a positive first full season on the world stage after only riding on tarmac for a couple of years.
Fast from the opening on track session of the weekend on Friday, she claimed seventeenth on the grid in Superpole – her best performance of the season.
With optimism high for Saturday’s opening race, Sonya made a good start but unfortunately got pushed wide at turn two after making places in the second attempt to run the race following a start procedure issue. With top fifteen pace she finished P18. Race two saw her once again finish inside the top twenty. She crossed the line nineteenth after another hard-fought race.
Sonya now returns home to the US where work for her 2026 season is already underway.
Sonya will announce her plans for next year shortly.

Sonya Lloyd:“We took the time in practice since I had raced in Jerez last year as a wildcard to try some different tyre pressures to see what worked best for me which meant in Superpole I could stay out the whole session. Luckily, I found some other riders to chase down and ended up having a pretty good Superpole, qualifying in seventeenth position which was my best so far in the world championship. I did not get a great launch in race one but there was a light malfunction so they red flagged the race. After about seven minutes they sent us back out for the restart. In the second start I got a much better start and gained some places into turn one. Into turn two I got stood up a little and got shuffled back a bit. I spent the first part of the race just trying to pick off those riders again but once I regained the places the next group was out of reach. I kept pushing and my last lap was my fastest again which was awesome and a full second quicker than the riders I was chasing down. I had the pace for fourteenth which is a huge step I was confident for race two. Race two was not how I wanted to end the season. I started sixteenth – my highest grid spot yet – and I was confident. I made a good start and had a strong first couple of corners but at turn five someone got a bit eager and pushed me and a few other riders wide. I had to jump the kerb to get back on track and was almost last. I fought my way back into the top twenty and made some good passes. I would have liked to have fought with the group I was with as world championship points were on the cards, but I learned a lot and can be happy with how I rode. I know what I need to work on in the off-season, and I will be doing a lot of flat track and mini moto riding to fine tune my race craft. I really hope to be back in WorldWCR next year. I want to thank everyone who has supported me this year. It has been a huge effort with a lot of flights, new countries and new cultures and it has been one of the most incredible experiences of my life. The Strack Racing / Attack Performance Superbike team from MotoAmerica were so welcoming this past weekend and I want to give a big thanks to them as well as Garrett Gerloff and Tim Robinson for making the last round such an enjoyable experience.”

Triumph Motorcycles has announced the next chapter in a story that never stands still, as it reveals a new Bonneville T100, T120 and T120 Black for model year 2026.
First launched in 1959, the Bonneville redefined motorcycling with its blend of performance, style and character. Today, the T100, T120 and T120 Black continue the legacy, evolving with subtle design refinements and new rider-focused technology, seamlessly integrated to preserve the timeless style and evocative riding experience of the original Modern Classic.
Staying true to the spirit of the original, the new T100 and T120 retain the unmistakable Bonneville silhouette. Signature features like the deeply sculpted metal fuel tank, classic rubber knee pads, and iconic Triumph tank badges are joined by new hand-finished paint schemes and coachline detailing. A new circular graphic on the side panels frames the Bonneville logo in silver or gold, celebrating the name that started it all.

For 2026, the Bonneville range introduces a fresh selection of premium paint schemes across all models, with two new color options each for the T100 and T120, and a striking new monochrome scheme for the ever-popular T120 Black, offering riders even more ways to express their style.
New technology adds modern functionality without detracting from the classic character or looks, including new lean-sensitive Optimized Cornering ABS and Traction Control, a powerful new LED headlight, and a cockpit-mounted USB-C power socket, as well as cruise control fitted as standard for the T120 and T120 Black. Cruise Control is offered as an accessory on the T100.

Paul Stroud – Chief Commercial Officer, Triumph Motorcycles:
“The Bonneville T120 is the original. It’s the bike that defined a generation and continues to inspire riders today. What makes it so special is its ability to evolve while staying true to its soul. For 2026, we’ve updated the styling, introduced new rider-focused technology, and enhanced the overall ride. The T120 Black, with its stealthy attitude and premium finishes, is a natural choice for newer riders who want custom style with real substance.
The T100 shares that same iconic DNA, but with an even broader appeal. It’s often the first big bike for many, with a third of customers stepping up to their first large-capacity motorcycle. It’s aspirational, yet accessible. With advanced features like lean-sensitive Optimized Cornering ABS, Traction Control, and selectable Road and Rain modes, the T100 is exactly what today’s rider is looking for. It delivers smooth, responsive control and a ride that feels effortless, bringing modern capability to a bike that still captures the unmistakable spirit of a true classic.”

Timeless Design, Contemporary Detail
The choice of icons past and present and a canvas for the world’s custom creators; the Bonneville is still the style icon to ride and be seen riding. The engine design remains true to its classic roots, featuring black powder-coated cases, bright-machined cooling fins, and neatly concealed cabling that keeps the overall look clean and uncluttered.
Premium materials and meticulous craftsmanship define every surface, whether polished chrome, brushed stainless steel, powder-coated, or anodized.
The Bonneville T100 has two color options for 2026; striking Jet Black and Diablo Red with hand-painted gold coachline detailing, or contemporary Stone Grey as standard.
Customers have a choice of new colors for the T120 too; a timeless Aegean Blue and New England White with hand-painted black coachline detailing. Like the T100, the standard Stone Grey paint option looks set to be the more contemporary pick.
The popular T120 Black with its blacked-out engine casings, exhausts and details, plus a brown bench seat that contrasts beautifully with its stealth styling, is also available in two monochrome color schemes; classic Jet Black or the premium option, a moody new Matte Silver Ice and Matte Sapphire Black.
The new LED headlight on all three models retain its classic round shape but now delivers significantly increased brightness for enhanced visibility. Beautifully-finished twin analogue instrument gauges blend tradition with technology, featuring multi-function LCD screens that display fuel range, gear position, riding mode and more.

High Torque Twin
At the core of both T120 models is Triumph’s 1200cc ’High Torque’ twin engine. Tuned for effortless response across the rev range, it delivers 77.4 ft-lbs (105Nm) of torque at just 3,500rpm and peak power of 79 HP (80PS) at 6,550rpm. Eagerly responding to every twist of the throttle with a surge of torque, strong acceleration and loads of character, the T120 always delivers an exhilarating performance.
Powered by Triumph’s responsive 900cc Bonneville twin, the Bonneville T100 is punchy, tractable and full of classic character. With peak power of 64 HP (65PS) at 7,000 rpm, and peak torque of 59 t-lbs (80Nm) at 3,750rpm, it has an intuitive throttle response that’s easy and effortless.
The 270-degree crank spacing gives both 1200cc and 900cc engines their distinctive character and addictive sound, while EURO 5+ compliance guarantees low emissions and excellent fuel economy. All three models feature a torque-assist clutch that ensures a light lever feel and smooth gear changes, with the 1200cc models benefitting from an additional sixth gear ratio.
Triumph engineers have meticulously integrated this new technology to preserve each Bonneville’s modern classic aesthetic, while also achieving low emissions, impressive fuel efficiency, and class-leading 10,000-mile service intervals.

Technology That Enhances, Never Distracts
All three models now feature Optimized Cornering ABS and Traction Control, powered by an advanced Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). This intelligent system continuously monitors the bike’s movement and lean angle and other parameters, to deliver just the right amount of support when it’s needed, enhancing safety without interfering with the ride. By adjusting braking and traction response based on real-time data, it offers discreet, confidence-inspiring control in all conditions, without unnecessary electronic intervention.
New for the T100, all three models now have two riding modes, Road and Rain, tailoring throttle response and traction control to suit the conditions. Another new rider-focused technology for 2026 is cruise control, easily operated via a dedicated button on the left switch cube.
Now fitted as standard on the T120 and T120 Black, cruise control is available as an accessory for the T100. All models also gain a USB-C charging port discreetly located beneath the instruments, so riders can keep devices topped up on longer journeys.

Engineered for the Ride
The T100, T120, and T120 Black all share the same tubular steel twin-cradle frame, paired with high-quality KYB suspension for a strong, lightweight, and responsive chassis. Cartridge forks and preload-adjustable twin shocks deliver confident handling and comfort. On the T120 and T120 Black, braking performance comes from high-specification twin Brembos for progressive stopping power, and on the T100 a powerful two-piston Nissin floating caliper, both complemented by a Nissin two-piston floating caliper at the rear.
Michelin Road Classic tires offer excellent grip and feedback in all conditions, while aluminumrimmed spoked wheels complete the authentic Bonneville look and further contribute towards the light and responsive steering feel. All three models share a low 31 in (790mm) seat height, low center of gravity and upright seating position, making them comfortable and confidenceinspiring for riders of all sizes.

Genuine Triumph Accessories
As seen in the recent global Triumph Originals custom competition, customization has always been a huge part of the Bonneville story. The timeless design of the T120 and T100 make them the perfect platform for personal expression, whether owners are looking for subtle styling tweaks or full custom builds.
In fact, more than 80% of T120 owners purchase genuine Triumph accessories with their new motorcycle. With over 100 genuine Triumph accessories available, there’s plenty of options, from heritage tank bags and soft panniers, to seats, lighting, engine bars and sump guards, and different style badges for the fuel tank and engine covers.
All accessories are designed alongside the bike for perfect fit and function, and when fitted from new, are covered by the same 2-year, unlimited mileage warranty.

The Bonneville Name
The original Bonneville was first unveiled in 1958, taking its name from the salt flats where Triumph had claimed the land speed record two years earlier.
The Bonneville T120 was a game-changer, redefining what performance motorcycles were all about, and becoming the bike of choice for custom builders and racers. The name has become one of the most iconic and evocative in motorcycling, synonymous with timeless British style and performance.
At the heart of the Triumph Modern Classic line-up, the Bonneville T100, T120 and T120 Black closely mirror the heritage design of that iconic 1960s T120 model, faithfully recreating the timeless look and rich character, while delivering expertly engineered modern capability, a polished finish and a canvas on which to create your perfect classic.
On the Road
With two-year unlimited mileage warranty and a class-leading 10,000-mile (16,000 km) service interval, the Bonneville is built for more time on the road and less time in the workshop, giving riders the freedom to enjoy every mile.
These motorcycles are available to order now at authorized Triumph dealerships. The T100 pricing starts at $11,495 USD / $12,795 CAD and the T120 and T120 Black start at $13,995 USD / $14,895 CAD with models arriving in dealerships beginning March 2026.

Attack Performance Strack Racing Yamaha’s Bobby Fong wraps up WorldSBK wildcard debut with promising strides in Jerez.
MARIETTA, Ga. Attack Performance Strack Racing Yamaha’s Bobby Fong continued his forward progress in the FIM Superbike World Championship, capping off his second and final wild card appearance of the season at the series finale in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.
With some more seat time under his belt, Fong improved his pace throughout the weekend at the Circuito de Jerez – Ángel Nieto. After qualifying 24th, the Californian finished 21st in Saturday’s Race 1, and followed it up with a pair of 19th-place finishes in Sunday’s Superpole Race and Race 2.
The American wild card entry – led by Attack Performance, with support from fellow official Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. team Strack Racing – gathered valuable data and experience in the world championship and now looks ahead to winter testing in preparation for the 2026 MotoAmerica Superbike season.
Richard Stanboli – Attack Performance Strack Racing Yamaha’s Team Manager:
“Jerez was a fun track, and again, the World Superbike paddock was very welcoming. A big thanks to Massimo (Neri) and the rest of the Pata team for all the technical support – they were extremely helpful.
“The finishing order doesn’t reflect the continuous improvement we made with both Bobby and our R1. We go away confident that with more time on the Pirelli tires and more laps on the European tracks, he would improve further. This experience will for sure make him a better MotoAmerica racer. We now look forward to winter testing armed with a few more ideas and a new priority list.”

Bobby Fong – Attack Performance Strack Racing Yamaha’s #50:
“It’s been a lot better than Estoril. In Race 1, I could see some people close by in front of me, so that was nice and encouraging for the Superpole Race and Race 2.
“The Superpole Race was really good. I definitely dropped my times and matched my qualifying time pretty consistently in the Superpole Race, so I was stoked about that. We tried something today, and it’s definitely helped me out a lot. In Race 2, I didn’t have the best feeling with the front tire from the get-go. I was in the 1:41s – which was the same as the big group in front of us – so my pace was okay. I just wish it had gone a little better.
“Obviously, as a racer, you want to be a lot better and closer to the front guys, but I’ve got to be satisfied because we did improve, and the gap was shrinking to the guys up front from Estoril until now. I can’t really describe how different it is here compared to the U.S. Overall, it’s been positive. Each time we went out, we improved. The team and I have definitely learned a lot while being here.”

Compliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience,
regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level.
These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible
to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific
disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML,
adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with
screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive
a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements,
alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website.
In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels;
descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups),
and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag
for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on
as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Disability profiles supported in our website
Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
