The new Bonneville T40 lands with a punchy 29hp from a liquid‑cooled 350cc single‑cylinder engine, a torque of 31.2Nm at 5,500rpm, and a suite of adaptive riding modes that let you switch between Road, Rain, Eco and two customisable profiles.
Design-wise, Triumph keeps the 1960s DNA alive with a round LED headlamp, sculpted teardrop tank and twin rear shocks, but the T40 offers a two‑tone paint finish and hand‑painted coach lining that give it a fresh, modern edge. The T40 Black flips the script with matte pewter and blacked‑out components, gloss‑black rims and a darker, more aggressive aesthetic.
On the tech front, the 4‑inch TFT display sits in a Heritage Mode to echo analog glory, yet it also delivers turn‑by‑turn navigation, phone hooks and five configurable widgets. Safety is front‑and‑center: lean‑sensitive ABS, cornering traction control, emergency deceleration warning, full‑LED lighting and a USB‑C port for quick charging.
In the crowded 350‑cc cruiser arena, the T40 up‑sets the Yamaha FZ6’s 31.6hp and KTM 390’s 43hp by offering a more classic silhouette and an upright riding posture with a 790mm seat height. While it may not out‑power the KTM, its heritage styling and feature‑rich package position it as a strong contender for riders who value nostalgia as much as performance.
