OverviewEdit
Triumph Bonneville Ewan McGregor Special Edition
This year Triumph celebrates 50
years from when the first Bonneville was produced and in order to mark the
half of century of existence on roads around the world, the British
manufacturer has created two brand new limited edition models, one designed
by Belfast, and the other by Ewan McGregor.
Cleverly blending traditional
British style and charismatic performance, the Triumph Bonneville is the
perfect roadster and a modern design classic. Its unique looks and
exhilarating riding experience have made the Bonneville the motorcycle of
choice for generations of fast-living individuals including screen idols from
Steve McQueen, James Dean and Marlon Brando, through to George Clooney and
Nicholas Cage.
Triumph is marking the occasion by
producing two unique one-off designs for the Bonneville, each conceived by an
iconic collaborator, synonymous with style and British motorcycling: Hollywood
star Ewan McGregor and designer of high-end motorcycling fashion, Belstaff.
Renowned motorcycle enthusiast, Ewan McGregor, has created a design that reflects the Bonnevilles rich heritage. The design incorporates a copper-plated tank, with black waxed cotton by Belstaff on the seat and side panel and is inspired by one of his own vintage bikes, as well as his love of the legendary motorcycle enthusiast (and Triumph rider), Steve McQueen. Ewan explains, I wanted to use a traditional waxed cotton material as it has such a resonance with the history of style in motorcycling and mix it with the tradition of coppering tanks. I am a huge fan of Steve McQueen and his films from the 1960s, and the font that I have chosen for the Triumph logo harks back to that golden era of biking. This is such an exciting project for me the Bonneville has to be the ultimate in iconic British motorcycles, so the chance to create my very own design and see it through to production is amazing.
Ewan McGregors specially designed bike will be auctioned for his chosen charity, UNICEF for whom he is an ambassador.
