These new colours come hand-in-hand with new names for two of the class-defining 900cc models, chosen to better represent the family connections across Triumph’s iconic Bonneville line-up, and their specific engine capacities. From model year 2023, the Street Twin is re-named Speed Twin 900, and the Street Scrambler is re-named the Scrambler 900.
