2026 Triumph Modern Classics Range – First Look

Triumph updated its Bonneville Modern Classics line-up for 2026. The seven updated classics are part of Triumph’s ambitious plan to launch 29 new and updated models over a six-month period (including models we’ve already seen such as the TF 250-C and TF 450-C cross country models, TF 450-X motocross bike, and a range of youth electric off-road TXP models.)

For 2026, the range will again consist of the Bonneville, in T100, T120, and T120 Black flavors, the Bonneville Bobber custom, the Bonneville Speedmaster cruiser, and the Scrambler 900. The Scrambler 1200 models got updates for 2024, so Triumph only made updates to the XE model’s suspension while leaving the X version unchanged.

We’ll go into a bit more detail for each bike, but generally, we’re looking at the addition of an inertial measurement unit, lean-sensitive traction control, cornering anti-lock brakes, updated instrumentation, smartphone connectivity, and full LED lighting. For Europe, and other markets with similar licensing regulations, Triumph is also adding A2 license restrictor kits for the 1200cc models, giving new riders even more options.

2026 Triumph Scrambler 900

The Scrambler 900 receives the most substantial changes including a new tubular steel frame, and a cast aluminum swingarm Triumph claims is lighter and more rigid than the previous design.

The 19-inch front and 17-inch wire spoke wheels feature new lightweight rims, reducing unsprung mass. The wheels come fitted with Metzeler Tourance dual-purpose tires.

Up front, the 2026 Scrambler 900 receives a 43mm Showa fork in place of the previous 41mm conventional fork. The new fork means the Scrambler loses the rubber gaiters, but the overall improvement in handling should make up for the aesthetic change. For the rear, the Scrambler 900 receives twin Showa piggyback preload-adjustable shocks.

Triumph also updated the braking system, replacing the previous axial-mount caliper and 310mm disc with a radial-mount caliper, and a larger 320mm disc.

The 900cc Parallel-Twin engine’s performance figures are unchanged, producing a claimed 64.1 hp at 7,250 rpm and 59.0 lb-ft. at 3,250 rpm.

Triumph’s Optimized Cornering ABS and Traction Control systems are new, and the ride-by-wire throttle offers three modes: Road, Rain, and Off-Road, which disables rear ABS for better control when riding off-road.

The new instrument cluster retains the classic round shape, and features an LCD screen with an integrated TFT. A USB-C port comes standard, and cruise control is available as a dealer-fit accessory.

Visually, the Scrambler 900 receives a 3.2-gallon fuel tank with a more angular profile and a new filler cap. Also new are the side panels, brushed aluminum throttle bodies, heel guards, and reworked exhaust with new heat shields. Slimmer fenders, LED lighting, and a narrower subframe with a reshaped two-up seat complete the new look.

In North America, the 2026 Scrambler 900 will be offered in Matte Khaki Green with Phantom Black or Mineral Grey with Cosmic Yellow. Other markets will also have an Urban Grey option. Expect to see it in dealerships in February 2026 with a starting price of $12,395.

While the 900 model receives a big update, the larger Scramblers are relatively the same. The Scrambler 1200 X returns as the more accessible option while the Scrambler 1200 XE gets a suspension upgrade.

For 2026, the XE model gains a fully adjustable 47mm Showa fork in place of the previous 45mm Marzocchi fork. The rear suspension also replaces Marzocchi components with twin fully adjustable Öhlins RSUs with piggyback reservoirs.

Otherwise, the Scrambler 1200 XE is unchanged from before. It remains powered by the High Power 1200cc Bonneville Twin, with a specific Scrambler tune and a claimed 89 hp at 7,300 rpm and 81.1 lb-ft. at 4,500 rpm.

The latest entries to a legacy spanning back to 1959, the 2026 Triumph Bonneville T100, T120, and T120 Black return as the definitive examples of classic British roadsters. Under the classic styling, the three standard Bonnies now gain an IMU, unlocking modern riding technologies like lean-sensitive ABS and traction control.

And for the first time, the entry level Bonneville T100 joins its siblings in offering two ride modes: Road and Rain. For 2026, T120 and T120 Black gain cruise control as standard equipment, while T100 customers can order it as an accessory. Other updates include a new LED headlight, and a USB-C charging socket.

The T120 models are powered by the High Torque version of Triumph’s 1,200cc Parallel-Twin engine, with the brand claiming the same peak output of 78.9 hp at 6,550 rpm and 77.4 lb-ft. at 3,500 rpm as last year.The T100 uses a 900cc engine, claiming 65 hp at 7,000 rpm and 59 ft-lb. at 3,750 rpm.

The suspension also remains unchanged from 2025, with KYB providing a 41mm cartridge-style fork and preload-adjustable twin shocks. The T120 and T120 Black come equipped with dual Brembo two-piston floating calipers for the front wheel and a single Nissin two-piston floating caliper at the rear. The T100 differs in having just a single Nissin two-piston floating caliper for the front wheel.

For North America, the 2026 Triumph Bonneville T100 is available in Stone Grey, or Jet Black and Diablo Red with hand-painted gold coachline detailing, while other markets get a Snowdonia White and Sapphire Black option.

The T120 is also available in Stone Grey or the two-tone Aegean Blue and New England White, with markets outside North America getting an Aluminium Silver/Cranberry Red option. The T120 Black (which Triumph tells us outsells the regular T120) comes in a choice of two colors: Jet Black or Matt Silver Ice/Matt Sapphire Black.

The T100 starts at $11,495 while the T120 and T120 Black come in at $13,995. Expect all three versions to arrive in showrooms in March 2026.

The Bonneville Bobber returns for 2026 with a larger fuel tank, restyled side panels, and a new seat along with the addition of an IMU and lean-sensitive electronic systems.

The 3.7-gallon fuel tank is a half gallon larger than the previous tank, giving the Bobber more range while enhancing its muscular silhouette. The reshaped side panels offer a more modern look. The panels are larger than before to help hide the new electronic components, which allows Triumph to maintain the Bobber’s floating seat look.

The saddle has a new, wider shape, which Triumph says should make for a more comfortable ride. The seat also hides an adjustment mechanism that allows it to go from 27.2 to 27.6 inches from the ground.

Additional changes include new lightweight aluminum 16-inch spoked wheels, a USB-C charging socket, and a single analog dial with an integrated LCD.

The Bobber is otherwise mechanically unchanged. It remains powered by a 1,200cc engine with a claimed peak output of 77 hp at 6,100 rpm and 78.2 lb-ft. at 4,000 rpm. The electronics suite includes lean-sensitive traction control and ABS systems, cruise control, and a choice of Road or Rain ride modes.

Suspension duties are handled by a 47mm Showa cartridge fork and a preload-adjustable KYB monoshock with linkage. Brembo supplies the twin two-piston floating calipers while the single-piston rear caliper is sourced from Nissin.

For the U.S., the 2026 Bonneville Bobber is available in Interstellar Blue with Sapphire Black, or Jet Black, with a starting price of $14,795. Other markets get an additional Satin Mineral Grey and Satin Sapphire Black combination. Look for the Bobber to arrive in February 2026.

The Bobber and Speedmaster are similar in a lot of ways, but Triumph says they cater to different demographics. According to Triumph, the Bobber appeals more to riders under 40, while the Speedmaster is the preferred choice for older riders or those who want to ride for longer distances.

The 2026 update reflects this difference, with Triumph giving the Speedmaster wider rider and passenger seats, claiming improved comfort and support for longer rides. Triumph also gave the Speedmaster a straighter handlebar, citing a more natural and relaxed riding position. Otherwise, the changes are similar to the Bobber’s, including the 3.7-gallon tank, reshaped bodywork, lean-sensitive electronics, and USB-C port.
