At the heart of the 2025 Triumph Bonneville T120 Evel Knievel Edition motorcycle, Triumph relies on a 1200 cc engine powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 79 HP at 6,550 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 65.8 HP per liter and a 3,050 rpm working window between peak torque (3,500 rpm) and peak power (6,550 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 T120 Evel Knievel Edition measures 520 kg (1146 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.15 HP/kg (6.58 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 31 mm (1.2 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 57 mm (2.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 14.5-liter (3.8 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 60.1 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 24 km (15 miles) between fill-ups.
