Triumph Motorcycles has rolled out the next evolution of the Bonneville family for 2026, giving the modern classic series notable technology and comfort upgrades. The Scrambler 900, Bonneville Bobber, and Bonneville Speedmaster headline the refresh, with improved handling, new rider aids, and refined design touches that stay true to Triumph’s timeless aesthetic.

The brand says the goal was simple—refine what riders love and quietly integrate modern capability without losing the soul of the original Bonneville. With deliveries starting in December 2025, the update extends across the full range, including the T100, T120, T120 Black, and Scrambler 1200 XE.

Scrambler 900 leads the update

Among the refreshed models, the Scrambler 900 gets the most attention. It now rides on a more refined chassis with upgraded Showa suspension, radial brakes, and lightweight aluminum rims designed to improve both on-road agility and off-road confidence. Triumph also adds lean-sensitive Optimised Cornering ABS and Traction Control, powered by a new IMU system that works quietly in the background to keep riders stable through corners.

Other modern touches include full LED lighting, a new instrument cluster, and updated connectivity options. These upgrades give the Scrambler a sharper, more capable edge while keeping its rugged style intact.

Bobber and Speedmaster go bigger

The Bonneville Bobber and Speedmaster share a larger 14-liter tank and reworked bodywork for a stronger stance and longer range. The Bobber gains a wider, more padded floating seat for better comfort, while the Speedmaster’s new handlebars and seating setup aim for relaxed, all-day ergonomics. Both now include cruise control as standard, adding practicality to the mix. Across the lineup, Triumph continues to refine the details that make the Bonneville series a modern classic that doesn’t stand still.

25 years of Fast & Furious legacy all at the tip of your fingers
Petersen Automotive Museum is giving you the chance to see the cars that raced into our hearts with Dom and Brian.
Car, Car Show, Transportation

Yesterday marked 25 years since the release of one of the greatest movies of our generation. Two and a half decades since Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) went undercover with the Toretto family to scour the world of illegal street racing in search of those responsible for truck heists. Of course, who could resist the idea that family conquers all and the charm of the patriarch, Dominic (Vin Diesel), and his sister, Mia (Jordana Brewster). However you may feel about the ten movies that followed (that is right...TEN), the original The Fast and the Furious redefined an entire automotive culture for a new century. I mean, truly, how did Tej (Ludacris) go from garage owning gear head in Miami to super hacker with no explanation? Anyway, if you are like me, you loved the ridiculous cars that have shown up through the years, and that means you will be excited to know that the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles expanded their "Fast & Furious Legacy" exhibit to include all of your favorite super machines.

Maserati refreshes its entire lineup for the 2027 model year
A more powerful engine, a new front end, and several features now available as standard
Maserati's 2027 lineup of vehicles

A new face, a luxury touch on everything you interact with, and a not insignificant power boost to one of the most interesting V6 engines on the planet. These are the highlights of Maserati’s 2027 lineup. Though it’s technically a bit of a mid-cycle refresh, no new vehicles are being released, there are still some notable differences between the upcoming Maseratis and their 2026 equivalents. It’s Maserati’s biggest string of updates since last year’s MCPura launch, with several supercar-inspired tweaks making their way to the likes of the GranTurismo and GranCabrio.

The Maserati GranTurismo and GranCabrio both benefit from an extra 40 horsepower, with the 3-liter V6 Nettuno engine under the hood now pumping out 582 horsepower at its peak. Overall responsiveness of the engine and transmission has been improved too, due to an updated calibration, and the sound-boosting Sportivo exhaust now comes as standard with all ICE Maseratis. Both vehicles, along with the Folgore, also come with a more aggressive front end. The reworked air intakes arguably stand out most on the new fascia, though the large front splitter and “shark nose” styling are both very apparent.
