If you’re hunting a pocket‑sized cruiser that blends retro styling with modern tech, the new Triumph Bonneville T40 has just opened its booking window, letting you lock in a seat for only ₹4,999. The booking can be done online via Triumph’s official site, and the first batches are slated for delivery in November 2026, depending on dealer proximity. The same model is also available in a darker T40 Black trim at no extra cost.
Under the hood, the T40 runs on a 349‑cc single‑cylinder, liquid‑cooled engine that churns out 29 hp at 7,000 rpm and 31.2 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. It’s mated to a smooth six‑speed gearbox, and features ride‑by‑wire throttle as well as a slip‑and‑assist clutch that eases topping‑off and gear changes for a relaxed ride.
The bike’s cockpit is dominated by a 4‑inch TFT display that supports smartphone connectivity for navigation, calls, and music. Riders can also switch between five riding modes, activate cruise control, and enjoy corner‑sensitive ABS and traction control that help keep the bike stable in bends. The seat sits at 790 mm, but a low‑seat kit can bring it down to 770 mm for shorter riders.
At an ex‑showroom price of ₹2.80 lakh, the T40 sits squarely in the 350‑cc segment, directly up against the Royal Enfield Classic 350 and Honda CB350C. Its tech‑laden feature set and sleek design give it a premium feel compared to the more affordable T4 variant, which starts at ₹2.55 lakh and will roll out in January 2027.
Expect the T40 to hit city showrooms by early 2027, with deliveries scheduled to start in November 2026 for the first orders. Keep an eye on the launch rollout for city‑specific availability, and watch for any updates on after‑sales support and warranty options that could sway your choice.
