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.

Monterey Car Week got underway this weekend, and there is a bevy of incredible events happening to make any car enthusiast salivate for ten days straight. Starting last Friday, visitors spent the weekend exploring the history of races, checking out a slew of historic race cars, and yesterday was the historic hillclimb many come to see pre-reunion. Today, racers get a chance to collect Poker cards and eat great meals on the route during the Poker Rally and also check out the British side of Monterey Car Week. However, we are looking forward today after Gordon Murray dropped a teaser of what we will get to see at The Quail later this week.

It is always a pleasure to return to California, and I am looking forward to sharing our latest Special Vehicles creation with everyone attending The Quail and enthusiasts around the world. We have been working on something very special – I can’t wait for the covers to come off. – Professor Gordon Murray CBE, Group Executive Chairman

Porsche just proved the Cayenne Electric is the most impressive performance vehicle you can drive
Car, Transportation, Vehicle

I have seen the movies. I know there is no way that a car can survive in the jet blast of a plane. I remember the scene from Casino Royale. And for me, that is science. But the engineers at Porsche and Stratolaunch aren’t so sure. They operate in the real world of science, and they came together to see if the Porsche Cayenne Electric could withstand the take-off power of one of the largest and most powerful aircraft in the world. Why? Because they can and because curiosity oftentimes leads to something awesome. Spoiler alert…the car holds up. But don’t take my word for it.

The car is its own beast. It’s got the ability to keep up and play in this space. – Orlando Bloom, Porsche ambassador

Indian commits to American artistry with Signature Series
Machine, Spoke, Helmet

There is something about sitting on the back of a motorcycle that you can’t feel anywhere else. Road trips feel different on the back of a bike versus in a car. Maybe it is the solo aspect of it. Maybe there is the feeling of the wind. Who knows? What I do know is that there is nothing like a bike ride through the countryside. The winding roads, the sunsets through the visor of the helmet, all of it is unrivaled. Indian Motorcycle understands this, and they have since they became the first American motorcycle company. Now, they have dropped a new Signature Series of four motorcycles echoing their commitment to American artistry and craftsmanship.

Since 1901, Indian Motorcycle has pursued the ultimate intersection of form and function – motorcycles that are as beautiful in design as they are sophisticated in performance – Mike Kennedy, CEO of Indian Motorcycle
