# Triumph Bonneville T40 launched in India at Rs 2.80 lakh 2026-10-06T15:32:30+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Triumph has launched the Bonneville T40 and T40 Black in India, priced at Rs 2.80 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), according to Times Now News. The Economic Times reports the price as Rs 2,79,999. The bikes bring classic Bonneville design to a 350cc segment with a liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine producing 29 hp and 31.2 Nm of torque. Both versions feature Road, Rain and Eco riding modes, two customisable modes, lean-sensitive cornering ABS and cornering traction control. The T40 gets a 4-inch colour TFT display with turn-by-turn navigation, phone connectivity and five configurable widgets. The T40 Black has a darker finish with Matt Pewter Grey and Matt Phantom Black colours. Bookings are underway. Deliveries for the T40 will start in November 2026, while the more affordable T4, priced at Rs 2.55 lakh, will be delivered from January 2027. The bikes compete with the Royal Enfield Classic 350, Honda CB350C and Jawa 350. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both outlets offer neutral-report coverage of the launch, focusing on price, engine specifications, features and delivery timelines. The Economic Times frames the price as Rs 2,79,999 and lists four colour options, while Times Now News states Rs 2.80 lakh and gives three colours. Times Now News provides more detail on the T4 variant and delivery dates. Neither outlet criticises or promotes the government, and the coverage is uniform straight reporting with no discernible slant. The key takeaway is the price discrepancy and the competitive segment the bikes enter. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - timesnownews.com (neutral report) Straight listing of price, specs and delivery dates - economictimes.indiatimes.com (neutral report) Focus on price, engine and riding modes without editorialising This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
