Triumph Bonneville Bobber 2026

Triumph Bonneville Bobber 2026

The Triumph Bobber 2026 is the quiet queen of coolness. It doesn't need top values to shine, but shines with composure, torque and mechanical honesty. The Speedmaster counters this with the same genes in a different body: more comfortable, more majestic, with clear limits to the sporty radius. Together, they make a pair that you won't think of leaving the garage once you've ridden one. For soloists who want to breathe style, it's the Bobber. For connoisseurs seeking wide horizons without haste, it's the Speedmaster. And for all those who have both, the common denominator has finally been found.

BMW R 12 nineT 2026

BMW R 12 nineT 2026

BMW has not only given the nineT model series an updated name and a polished design, but also a large chunk of versatility. It remains the characterful naked bike with a vibrant boxer engine, but can also offer significantly more riding pleasure thanks to the new ergonomics, adjustable suspension, better brakes and quickshifter for the first time. Looking good, relaxed cruising or pops through the twisties - the BMW R 12 nineT can do it all!

Great old-school boxer with now EU5+ homologation

First modern quickshifter for this engine

Top brakes

Very sensitive, fully adjustable chassis

Versatile ergonomics

Lots of cool accessory options Agile riding performance

Quickshifter very jerky when shifting up in some situations

Clutch requires a lot of manual force

Considerable price, especially with accessories
