IN THE NEWS — THE TRIUMPH INFOR ROCKET STREAMLINER TRIUMPH INFOR ROCKET STREAMLINER BECOMES THE FASTEST EVER TRIUMPH ON THE BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS TT Legend Guy Martin pilots the Triumph Infor Rocket Streamliner to 274.2 mph on the Bonneville Salt Flats ATLANTA (August 10, 2016) – The Triumph Infor Rocket Streamliner has become the world’s fastest ever Triumph by achieving a speed of 274.2 mph at the Bonneville Salt Flats on 8 August 2016. Piloted by TT legend Guy Martin, the streamliner smashed the previous official Triumph record that stood at 245.667 mph as well as the unofficial Triumph Record of 264mph, both set by Bob Leppan, in the Gyronaut X-1. Near perfect conditions greeted the team on the final day of the team’s land speed practice week. With confidence high after a successful number of days running on the salt at Bonneville the team’s goal for the day with the Triumph Infor Rocket Streamliner was the Triumph record.

Just after 8:30am Guy Martin and the team set off on the first run of the day, after a steady start, Martin accelerated the sleek looking streamliner to a staggering 274.2 mph, rewriting Triumph history in the process. Just after the two-mile marker Martin came to a controlled stop near to the team’s base camp to be greeted by the news that he had broken the 46-year-old Triumph record. Today’s record run is further proof of Martin’s growing confidence on the salt and commitment to breaking the World two-wheeled Land Speed record. Throughout the week Martin has continued to impress everyone within the team with the speed in which he has been able to master the Triumph Infor Rocket Streamliner on the salt. Each time Martin has sat in the streamliner on the salt he has been able to achieve the goals set by Crew Chief and the Triumph Infor Rocket Streamliner designer Matt Markstaller and his team with the required level of control.

When asked about becoming the fastest ever Triumph record holder Martin commented: “It’s good and we are moving in the right direction, but it is just one step on the way to what me and team are here to do.” The Triumph Infor Rocket features a carbon Kevlar monocoque construction with two turbocharged Triumph Rocket III engines producing a combined 1,000 bhp at 9,000 rpm. The motorcycle is 25.5 feet long, 2 feet wide and 3 feet tall. Powered by methanol fuel, the bike is competing in the Division C (streamlined motorcycle) category. Triumph has a history of breaking the land speed record, holding the title of ‘World's Fastest Motorcycle’ between 1955 to 1970*. The record-breaking Triumph Streamliners included: Devil's Arrow, Texas Cee-gar, Dudek Streamliner and Gyronaut X1, the former achieving a top speed of 245.667 mph (395.28 km/h).

Today's record, held by Rocky Robinson since 2010 riding the Top Oil-Ack Attack streamliner, sits at 376.363 mph (605.697 km/h). The iconic Bonneville name was conceived following Johnny Allen’s land-speed record runs at the Salt Flats in September 1956, when he reached the record breaking speed of 193.72 mph.

The Triumph Bonneville is built by British motorcycle manufacturer Triumph and has been in production for over three generations.

The first production run started from 1959 till 1983, the second from 1985 till 1988, and the third, in its modern form, from 2001 till 2015. The Bonneville name itself is derived from the famous Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, USA where motorcycle land speed records are attempted by Triumph and other manufacturers, to be broken over the years. 7.55 Lakh * On Road Price (New Delhi) FIND OUT MORE The third generation Bonnevilles, the modern ones, got even more modern with the introduction of fuel injection sometime around 2008 and continued in production till 2015. Now, in its fourth generation, Triumph has completely revamped the entire Bonneville range for 2016, introducing five new models - the Street Twin , Bonneville T120 , Bonneville T120 Black, Thruxton and Thruxton R . Out of these, two models are available in India - the Street Twin and the Bonneville T120 , and the third, the Thruxton R will be launched soon.

The Street Twin is the entry-level Bonneville and this modern classic gets even more modern in its 2016 edition. It's a completely new motorcycle with new design, new chassis, new suspension and an all-new 900cc liquid cooled engine. What's more, the Street Twin now comes with electronic rider aids like ride-by-wire throttle, ABS and even switchable traction control. (2016 Triumph Street Twin) Design and Features The Street Twin retains the classic lines of the Bonneville, yet it manages to look quite different, in a classic, but modern way. Overall, the silhouette is classic, and the Street Twin gets clean lines, minimal bodywork and a sleek rear end. Triumph seems to have deliberately kept the styling minimalistic, considering how the base Bonneville is a favourite among custom builders across the world. So, there's plenty of scope to personalise, not only with aftermarket custom jobs, but also with the addition of custom body-kits offered by Triumph. (Triumph Street Twin Details) Overall fit and finish is top notch and the bike's got high quality bits, like the simple, but informative speedometer and a unique retro looking LED taillight.

A tachometer has been given the miss, the large single, analog speedometer taking pride of place in the cockpit. A small LCD screen displays a wide range of information, including a fuel gauge, gear position indicator, two trip settings, odometer, service indicator and other information like a clock, distance to empty, fuel consumption and traction control settings. All these can be toggled with a simple button on the switchgear. The switchgear also gets a handy hazard light switch on the right. But the most attention to detail has been showered on the engine - it looks classic, incorporating styling cues from the legendary Bonneville engine silhouette, but Triumph designers have taken pains to carefully hide the modern bits. The single throttle body has been hidden from view, but misses the faux carb treatment which its larger sibling - the Bonneville T120 gets. The engine covers are traditionally shaped, and the head retains the air-cooled cooling fins for that authentic 'classic' look. The small-ish radiator is tucked away neatly without exposing any of the plumbing. (Triumph Street Twin Riding Impressions) Swing a leg over it, the Street Twin feels compact and small.

At 750mm seat height, it also offers an instantly likeable seat of the pants feel with both feet firmly planted on the ground. Indeed, that seat height itself will endear the Street Twin to riders of different height, different sexes and from different geographies. The handlebar is flat and wide and the seating position is immediately likeable, with friendly ergonomics. The seating position is sporty, but without being overly aggressive. The upswept dual exhausts from Vance & Hines not only add character to the Street Twin, but also offer the unmistakable sound of a British twin. And the sound is, well, quite agreeable indeed! Engine and Performance The engine is all-new on the Street Twin, and gets a displacement bump, up from 865cc in the outgoing model to 900cc. However, the single most defining difference in the engine is that it now gets liquid cooling. Triumph calls the powerplant the 'high torque' 900cc engine and it lives up to its name - making 80Nm of peak torque at a low 3200rpm.

So, open the throttle and you feel the surge of torque pulling you, and that wave is spread out evenly over the rev range, so there's ample usable power at every gear and at all kinds of street speeds. And while you're at it, you cannot ignore the refinement of the parallel-twin - at all revs and all speeds, the engine retains its finesse and refinement. (Triumph Street Twin Performance) Overall, peak power is reduced on the Street Twin - down from 61bhp to 54bhp - but it really doesn't matter. There's plenty of power and torque available across the rev range, so riding in the city is quite enjoyable, the bike pulling cleanly from stop lights, with enough grunt to surge ahead effortlessly. In fact, the Street Twin is a delight to ride in traffic. The light, torque-assist clutch makes riding effortless and is quite handy while manoeuvring bumper to bumper traffic on the daily commute. The shifts are slick, well-spaced out, and precise - as precise as the best ones out there - on the five-speed transmission. Hit the highway and there's adequate performance to keep you entertained.

Of course, the wind blast gets to you if you're doing consistently high speeds, but there's no dearth of power and torque for the average rider. Only at the top of the rev range do you feel a slight loss in power, but that's only if you're winding it out and going like the devil's on your tail. Frankly, that's not advisable, and outright top-end performance isn't to be expected from the Street Twin as well. (Triumph Street Twin Handling) Handling, Suspension and Braking The chassis is all-new too and the Street Twin offers a level of stability that is intuitive and instantly likeable. Dip it into a corner or make corrections mid-corner, it's a forgiving experience and one that will be welcomed by all sorts of riders - whether you're a newbie or an experienced hand. The suspension is plush, and soaks up all sorts of bumps on the different road surfaces we threw at the Street Twin. So, whether you're riding solo, or with a pillion on board, the Street Twin offers a plush, comfortable ride, without any jarring bumps transferring to your body. The suspension - 41mm Kayaba forks at the front, offer 120mm of travel.

The rear is also from Kayaba, the twin shocks offering 120mm travel, and come with adjustable preload. We didn't tinker with the settings, but suspect a little tautness would give this already excellent handler a bit more edge for more aggressive riding. (Triumph Street Twin) Braking is taken care of by a single 310mm disc at the front, and a 255mm single disc at the rear. But the dual channel ABS works like a dream, so shedding speeds or coming to a quick halt is without drama and there's ample bite and progression from the ABS-equipped brakes. (2016 Triumph Street Twin) Verdict The Triumph Street Twin has indeed upped the game of the base Bonneville. Clean classic looks, a motor with smooth and entertaining performance complemented by superb handling make it a package that is certainly difficult to ignore. At Rs 6.9 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), the Street Twin is the least expensive Triumph on sale, and at that price, it competes against the likes of the Ducati Scrambler and even the Harley-Davidson Iron 883 .

(2016 Triumph Street Twin) What it offers is a wholesome package - classic looks and a level of technology that could hardly be called "entry-level". It may not be the fastest Triumph, but whether you're a new rider, an experienced one or even one who wants to get back into motorcycling, the Street Twin could be all the motorcycle you need. It's a fun bike, and a very good all-round package that certainly lives up to the Bonneville name. But don't get fooled by heritage - this is a new bike for a new breed of riders - whatever your age or riding style may be.

Uploaded on Feb 27, 2011 There are three Triumph model motorcycles that share the Bonneville name.

The name 'Bonneville' refers to the The Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, USA, where many motorcycle companies - including Triumph - have competed for land speed records. The original Triumph Bonnevilles were produced between 1959 and 1983. All of them shared the same basic engine configuration: four-stroke parallel-twin. The T120 Bonneville The first model of Triumph Bonneville, was produced from 1959 to 1975, by Triumph Engineering, and later by Norton Villiers Triumph. The initial design was based very much on the Triumph Tiger T110, and it shared many of that bike's features, including the twin Amal monobloc carburettors, and the high performance inlet camshaft. The original engine was 650cc and produced 46 bhp at 6,500 RPM. The top speed of the T120 was 155 mph. Later changes saw the introduction of the unit construction engine, and in 1963 the T120 became a much stiffer, stable ride, with extra bracing at the swing arm and steering head.

Further improvements came in the form of an altered steering angle (the geometry of the steering angle determines how well the bike accelerates and handles), and superior forks. The performance of the bike was increased with more stiffness to the frame and better engine characteristics. Towards the end of the T120 production, the oil was no longer stored in a tank, but in the frame of the motorcycle itself. These models were referred to as 'oil in frame' versions. The T120 engine was popular for use in cafe racers, such as the Triton. Both standard and performance-tuned T120 engines were used. The T140 Bonneville The original T120 Bonneville was replaced in production by the improved T140 model. While the T120 had a 650cc engine, the T140 boasted a 750cc engine. This was done to compete with foreign model motorcycles, particularly the emerging high performance Japanese bike models. The first 744cc T140 Bonnevilles had the oil-in-frame configuration of the later T120's, and had disk brakes fitted to the front wheel.

Further modifications followed, to allow the T140 to comply with regulations for sale in the USA. These changes included rear disk brakes, and the gearchange lever was moved from the right side of the bike, to the left. These changes were implemented in 1975, along with modifications to the engine. Right up until the closure of the Meriden works factory in 1983, modifications and improvements were made to the Triumph Bonneville T140, including the introduction of an electric starter. Triumph Bonneville 790 This is a completely new, reinterpretation of the original Bonneville models. Built in Hinckley, England, by Bloor's Triumph Motorcycle Company, it made its debut in 2001. The first model had a 790cc parallel-twin engine, but since 2007, all the Bonnevilles produced have 865cc engines. The motorcycles resemble the classic designs, but are engineered with modern materials and comply with the latest emission requirements.

T241 Special Limited edition Bonneville celebrating Johnny Allen’s 1956 land speed record set at Bonneville Salt Flats in the USA – Commemorates 100 years of land speed setting at Bonneville. Special paint scheme using the distinctive colors of Johnny Allen’s Texas Cee-Gar. Individually numbered 1000 unit limited production run. The Limited Edition Bonneville T214 celebrates the achievements of Texas-born racer Johnny Allen, and his record-breaking Triumph-powered Cee-Gar streamliner which, in 1956, set the first of many land speed records at the Bonneville Salt Flats by recording a two-way average of 214.4mph. Texas Cee-Gar The Texas Cee-Gar currently resides in the National Motorcycle Museum, near Birmingham, England. It has been lovingly restored by Big D Motorcycles following a devastating fire at the museum in September 2003.

The original power unit was built by Jack Wilson with the aerodynamic glass fibre bodywork designed by the pilot J.H. “Stormy” Mangham. The fire damaged Cee-Gar was restored by a team in Texas led by Keith Martin of Big D Motorcycles who had worked for Jack Wilson. Now in pristine condition, the Cee-Gar complete with its 650cc Thunderbird engine looks just as it did on that famous day, 6th September 1956. Castrol Rocket Triumph held the title of “World’s Fastest Motorcycle” from 1955 to 1970 with the exception of a brief 33-day period. The Triumph streamliners that have carried world records are the Devil’s Arrow, Texas Cee-Gar and Gyronaut X1, the last being at 245.60 mph (395.28 km/h). Today’s bar now sits at 376.363 mph (605.697 km/h). In the continued pursuit of speed, Triumph and Castrol have joined forces to create the world’s most advanced streamliner – the Triumph Castrol Rocket.

With an ambition of hitting 400mph, Castrol Rocket showcases the passion and endeavor for man’s quest to be the fastest. The Bonneville Salt Flats are a challenge in themselves. 100+ degrees heat combined with 1286m altitude and a surface that is similar to sand or packed dirt all take their toll on performance. Former NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle Champion and engine tuner Bob Carpenter, has de-stroked two Rocket III engines from their stock 2,294cc to just 1,485cc each (so 2,970cc in total) to meet the 3,000cc total displacement class rule requirement. He has then added his signature cylinder head porting to the stock castings and a Garrett GT2876R ball bearing liquid cooled turbocharger to each engine. Each methanol-burning engine produces 500bhp at 9,000rpm and 250ft.lbs of torque. Matt Markstaller, a long-time land-speed enthusiast with more than 25 years of experience on the Bonneville Salt Flats is responsible for the aerodynamics and the Carbon Kevlar monocoque.

Used in fighter jets and racing cars, the monocoque design incorporates the body and chassis into a single stressed unit. And, built with Carbon Kevlar, the result is much stronger and lighter than conventional materials and construction. Piloting the Castrol Rocket is motorcycle racer Jason DiSalvo. Currently racing for the Latus Motors Racing Triumph team, Jason already holds AMA and FIM land speed racing records at the Bonneville Salt Flats on a Carpenter Racing powered Triumph Rocket III Roadster in 2012. Over the coming months, the Triumph Castrol Streamliner will continue its engineering, testing, and development in the pursuit the ultimate accolade of being the world’s fastest motorcycle.
