Triumph T100 Bonneville Scrambler

Triumph Bonneville Scramblers

The original Triumph Bonneville and its predecessors were some of the most popular scramblers and desert sleds in the California desert racing heyday, ridden and raced by the likes of Steve McQueen, Bud Ekins, and many On Any Sunday luminaries. The motor was also a popular choice to power purpose-built race frames like the Rickman Metisse.

In 2001, the third-generation Triumph Bonneville was introduced, produced in the Hinckley factory. Available as a carbureted model for several years before the switch to fuel-injection, these modern parallel-twin machines continue to serve as a popular donors for scrambler builds.
