Triumph Motorcycles has expanded its lineup of limited-edition motorcycles with the addition of a brand-new model. The Bonneville T120 Elvis Presley Edition is the newest entrant in the brand's lineup. As the name implies, the motorcycle pays homage to the legendary American rock star and actor Elvis Presley while incorporating the unique style of the British manufacturer. This is because Elvis had a unique taste in Triumph bikes and used to take his crew members on rides. He even purchased a T120 for each of them. Triumph will only produce 925 units of the special edition globally.
The bikemaker will give a unique number to each unit and present them with a gold disc in a customised Elvis Presley and Triumph Motorcycles record sleeve, along with a signed certificate of authenticity. Through this unique collaboration, Bonneville T120 Elvis Presley Limited Edition will provide motorcycle and music lovers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to honour their love for both music and motorcycling.
Triumph Bonneville T120 Elvis Presley Limited Edition: Styling
As with every Triumph limited edition, there is a noticeable difference between this bike and the others bearing the same name. It receives a special livery, distinguished by the Carnival Red colour. Triumph claims that the paint job of this special T120 was influenced by J Daar's bespoke Bonneville, made for the Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation. The T120 also borrows style elements from Elvis's most famous '68 Comeback Special performance. The bike's side features prominent 'ELVIS' branding, inspired by the era of the set lights.
The rock star's autograph is also visible on the fuel tank. Upon a closer look, you can see the 'TCB' emblem on the front fender. This phrase is an abbreviation for the well-known "Taking Care of Business in a Flash" phrase that Elvis Presley used. It also represents the necklaces worn by members of Memphis Mamba. The manufacturer has placed plenty of chrome plating and silver pinstripes on the tank to further emphasise the design.
Triumph Bonneville T120 Elvis Presley Limited Edition: Hardware and Features
The bike's mechanical components are identical to those of the standard model because it is built on a double-cradle chassis. It has dual shock absorbers at the back and telescopic front forks. The bike is supported by 18/17-inch wheels, which can accommodate two sets of 310mm discs with Brembo callipers at the front and one set of Nissin callipers at the back. In addition, the company now offers traction control, cruise control, ABS, and other features.
