Iconic British brands Triumph and the Ace Café have joined forces to create the Triumph Bonneville T120 Ace, a limited edition version of the classic parallel twin that is on sale now.

Triumph has customised the standard Bonneville T120 with a custom paint job and numerous modified parts. Just 1400 will be made, for sale worldwide, with each bike being numbered and coming with a certificate signed jointly by Triumph CEO Nick Bloor and Mark Wilsmore, head honcho at the Ace Café London.

The bike pays homage to the café racers of the 1960s. Based in north London, the Ace Café was the spiritual home for the boy racers and ‘Ton Up Boys’ who raced around the North Circular on their tuned and modified Brit bikes of the era. Since being reopened in the early 2000s, the Ace has enjoyed a renaissance in the current retro scene and now has five overseas branches, in Spain, China, Switzerland, Finland and the United States of America.

The new Bonneville T120 Ace follows in the tyre tracks of 2015’s Thruxton Ace. The new Bonneville T120 Ace features a unique ‘Storm Grey’ paint job with a contrasting Ace Café stripe and dedicated Ace Café and Bonneville T120 graphics, such as the ‘Head down… hold on’ sticker on the fuel tank.

The murdered out theme continues with the black tank badges, intake covers, wheels, exhausts and bench seat. Triumph’s fender removal kit (an accessory on the standard model) has been fitted to give a real customised look to the rear of the bike, while LED bullet indicators are also standard fitment.

Mark Wilsmore, managing director of Ace Café London, said: ‘’Triumph and the Ace Cafe go hand in hand for me, with decades of riders turning up at the cafe on the latest British Twin to chance their arm on the A406, and be top dog off the lights. This beautiful new Bonneville T120 Ace pays homage to those riders and our glorious shared history in style.’’

While the Bonneville T120 Ace edition features a number of modifications to the standard model, the engine remains stock, meaning the 1200cc twin churns out 79bhp, with a healthy 105Nm of torque at just 3100rpm. Other features include a torque control clutch, traction control and two rider modes, while the spec sheet also includes cruise control, heated handlebar grips and a USB charging socket.

It’s priced at £11,100, just £500 more than the standard model upon which it is based, and can be ordered from Triumph dealerships now.
