The upcoming retro-styled motorcycle from Triumph Motorcycles has been spotted testing again in india, revealing more details about what is likely to be a new Bonneville-inspired 400cc-class model. This bike is expected to expand Triumph’s growing 400 platform in the indian market.
🔍 What’s New in the Spy Shots?
Recent test mules suggest a clear shift toward a pure retro design direction:
- 🏍️ Classic round headlamp design

👉 The overall styling is heavily inspired by the Bonneville heritage line, giving it a more authentic retro-roadster feel.

- ⚡ Likely tuned version of Triumph’s TR-series motor
- 📊 Power expected around:

👉 The bike may use a downsized 349cc engine (similar to updated Triumph 400 lineup strategy) to meet tax regulations in india while keeping performance strong.
