Triumph range refreshed

This month sees the introduction of a few cosmetic tweaks across Triumph’s motorcycle range.

The £6,699 Bonneville SE gains restyled engine cooling fins, a tank badge in place of the previous logo and the option of an Imperial Purple / White colour scheme.

Two other bikes from the classic family also get new paintwork choices. For the Thruxton it’s Brooklands Green, while the Scrambler is now available in Matt Graphite. Both cost £7,099.

Updates to the America and Speedmaster cruisers include a different finish for the engine cooling fins and a more discreet oil pipe cooler. Buyers can now order the former in Sapphire Blue / White and the latter in Matt Black or Sapphire Blue / Jet Black.

A new addition to the Thunderbird cruiser colour palette is Caspian Blue / Phantom Black and, as with all two-tone paint finishes for this model, the treatment now extends to the front mudguard. Meanwhile, a Matt Graphite paint option has been made available for the Thunderbird Storm.

Improvements to the Daytona 675 comprise a quickshifter and billet levers, as well as a carbon fibre finish for the exhaust heat shield, cockpit surrounds and front mudguard. The £8,875 sports bike is now also offered in a vivid Sulphur Yellow paint finish, and this comes with matching pin striping around the wheels.

Last but not least, the £8,999 Speed Triple roadster gets the same Sulphur Yellow colour option, but no other changes.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any

BMW Concept M135i

Image
Next month’s Geneva Motor Show will see BMW unveil the latest addition to its new ‘M Performance’ line-up. Although not quite as hardcore as full-on M cars like the M3 and M5, the M Performance models are nevertheless designed to offer sharper handling, sportier styling and a powerful engine. The M550d xDrive, X5 M50d and the X6 M50d have already been announced as the first of the breed, but now it’s the turn of the F21 three-door 1 Series to get the M Performance treatment. Powering the Concept M135i is a six cylinder petrol engine with Twin Power Turbo technology. For now, all BMW is saying is that it generates ‘more than 300 horsepower’, which makes it sound as if it could be very similar to the three-litre, 335 bhp (250 kW / 340 PS) motor that’s currently used in the 1 Series M Coupé . As well as upgraded suspension, the Concept M135i also features 18” double-spoke alloy wheels, a sports braking system and bespoke aprons front and rear. The visual effect is completed by
