Triumph has launched two new 400cc motorcycles in India, the Bonneville T4 and the Bonneville T40, carrying prices starting at Rs 2.55 lakh for the entry variant and Rs 2.80 lakh for the higher model. Online bookings open on October 7, 2026, at 4:30 pm, developed in collaboration with Bajaj to bring classic styling to a more accessible price point.

Mechanical Setup

Both motorcycles share the same 349cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that puts out 29hp and 31.2Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed transmission and a slip-and-assist clutch. Triumph has given the engine a dedicated tune focused on low-end power, using a new camshaft, cylinder head, and narrower throttle bodies. Both bikes also share a tubular steel frame, a 14.5-litre fuel tank, a 195kg kerb weight, a 790mm seat height, and 165mm of ground clearance.

Features and Pricing

The higher-priced Bonneville T40 costs Rs 2.80 lakh ex-showroom Delhi and comes with a circular 4-inch TFT display, five ride modes, an inertial measurement unit for cornering ABS and traction control, Triumph-powered navigation, and cruise control. The Bonneville T4 costs Rs 2.55 lakh, offering a circular 4-inch LCD display, three ride modes, standard dual-channel ABS, traction control, and non-Triumph turn-by-turn navigation without an inertial measurement unit. The T40 offers four color choices including an understated Black, while the T4 features three single-color options in Black, Green, and Red.

Deliveries

Buyers choosing the Triumph Bonneville T40 can expect deliveries to begin in the second week of November 2026. Customers who opt for the more affordable Bonneville T4 will face a wait, with deliveries scheduled to start in the second week of January 2027.

Context

The Bonneville nameplate is one of Triumph's oldest and most famous lines of motorcycles, traditionally known for retro styling and relaxed riding. By partnering with Bajaj to build smaller-displacement models in India, the British brand aims to capture a larger share of riders looking for classic British design paired with practical everyday usability.
