The Milan Specials

Triumph has produced three special bikes to promote a new range of “Street Legal” Exhaust systems developed with Arrow Special Parts for the Bonneville, Bonneville T100, Scrambler and Thruxton and were showcased at this year’s Milan Show. In addition to the distinctive styling, the new systems will provide significant weight savings, power gains and improved engine tones.  The new Exhausts will be E-marked as road legal for noise and will be available from March 2008. The remainder of the special parts fitted to these specials are either Genuine Triumph Accessories, prototype Accessories which may be developed in the future, or aftermarket parts.  Read on for a more detailed description of each bike.  

Bonneville

This Silver 2008 Bonneville is fitted with the new "2 into 2" Arrow Exhaust System which features a brushed Stainless Steel finish.  Further upgrades include Ohlins Rear Suspension, a Triumph Scrambler Skid Plate in a special Anodised Black Finish, Locking Triumph Fuel Cap and a black suede Bonneville seat.

Scrambler

Showcasing the new High Level "2 into 1" Arrow Exhaust System, the Scrambler benefits from a selection of parts focussed on Off-Road Styling.  Triumph has used the Matt Black paint scheme, which has previously been offered as a limited edition on the production bikes, and combined this with a number of anodised black options, including skid plate, engine dresser bars, headlamp grille, handlebar, rear brake master cylinder and one-off wheels featuring anodised black rims to continue the theme.  Off-Road Tyres, Knee Pads, Handlebar brace and cover, Ohlins Rear Suspension and a Leather seat, with a distressed finish, complete the look.  For Milan Triumph changed the seat to a distressed brown leather option.

Thruxton

The Milan "Show Special" Thruxton features the new "2 into 1" Arrow Exhaust System, offered for the Thruxton, Bonneville & T100. 

This bike benefits from the most "Special" parts.  Race-bred suspension comes in the form of Ohlins Rear Suspension coupled with Upside Down Forks.  Brake performance is up rated with 2 Piston Brembo radial calipers, 320mm Brembo Front Brake Discs and a Talon Rear Brake Disc.  Billet Clip-On handlebars, a CNC adjustable yoke assembly and Translogic LCD Instrument Assembly confirm the transformation from classic cafe racer to a modern interpretation of retro cool.

Ten spoke cast alloy wheels and wider section rear tyres complete the racing look, whilst Accessory Knee Pads, Skid Plate, Seat Cowl and a Black Suede seat provide the finishing touches.
