2016 Triumph Bonneville T100 Black Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2016 Triumph Bonneville T100 Black classic motorcycle, Triumph features a 865 cc (52.8 cu in) air-cooled twin, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 67 HP (48.9 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 67.8 Nm (50 lb-ft) at 5,800 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 77.5 HP per liter and a 1,700 rpm working window between peak torque (5,800 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the Bonneville T100 Black measures 225 kg (496 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.3 HP/kg (3.36 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 775 mm (30.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,499 mm (59 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 15.9-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4.7 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 338 km (210 miles) between fill-ups.
