Triumph Gold Line range — Bonneville T100

Triumph says the Bonneville T100 Gold Line is the entry point to its 'Modern Classics' lineupTriumph Motorcycles

Next up is the Bonneville T100 Gold Line, which Triumph claims is ‘the perfect entry point’ to its Modern Classics lineup. It receives a dual-tone paint scheme with its fuel tank and side panels finished in a combination of Silver Ice and Competition Green (the green shade might remind you of a certain beverage bottle!) bordered by the hand-painted golden strip.

Triumph Rocket 3 R 221 and 3 GT 221

Bold 221 numbering is a reference to the Rocket's torque figureTriumph Motorcycles

There’s no shortage of special edition motorcycles in Triumph’s arsenal, having also launched the Rocket 3 R 221 and 3GT 221. With the 221 special edition, Triumph Motorcycles is referencing the fact that the Rocket is the torquiest motorcycle in the world with 221Nm available, and there’s no subtlety to it either! The Rocket 3 R 221 and 3 GT 221 feature bold 221 numbering on the tank, along with the power and torque figures, engine displacement, and bore and stroke figures. Nothing has changed underneath, which means the special edition Rocket continues to be shaft-driven, and it is powered by a 2458cc water-cooled engine which puts out a meaty 164.5bhp at 6000rpm and 221Nm of torque at 4000rpm.

Triumph Street Twin EC1

The Street Twin EC1 pays homage to the custom classic motorcycle culture of LondonTriumph Motorcycles

The Street Twin EC1 is the most affordable special edition motorcycle in the lineup, and it pays tribute to the custom motorcycle culture of the streets of London. The EC1 badging bears prominence on the tank of the motorcycle, and is a reference to the postal code of East London. The Street Twin EC1 receives a special paint scheme that is a combination of Matte Aluminium Silver and Matte Silver Ice, followed by the blacked-out treatment on the exposed mechanical elements of the motorcycle.

Like all the special edition motorcycles launched, the Street Twin EC1 is mechanically identical to the standard variant, which means it is powered by the same 900cc liquid-cooled engine putting out 64.1bhp at 7500rpm and 80Nm at 3800rpm, paired to a six-speed gearbox and underpinned by a tubular steel twin cradle frame.
