Renowned British motorcycle manufacturer Triumph has launched its latest Bonneville T100 Gold Line edition for the Indian market. Priced at INR 10,09,000 (ex-showroom), Triumph has launched the bike alongside 5 other Gold Line Edition bikes. Triumph has also stated that it will produce the new Bonneville T100 for just a year, ensuring its exclusivity. By launching this bike, Triumph intends to showcase the hand-painted gold lining skills of its expert paint shop.
The motorcycle manufacturer states that the hand-painted gold lining skill takes years of expertise, patience, and the steadiest of hands. The process begins with a two-colour base scheme where the meeting point between the two colours undergoes a flattening procedure. The process then continues with a hand-applied, continuous gold pinstripe by the artist via a specialized soft-bristled sword-liner brush. The painting process is complete after the application of a final clear coat of lacquer to seal the pinstripe.
