Is the Bonneville T40 Right for Triumph? + Brake Free Test

There’s a lot of talk about the new Bonneville T40, but is Triumph doing the right thing, or diluting a storied brand? While some welcome this new addition to Triumph’s 400cc line-up, I have a lot of questions… [[ Got an idea for a future video? Send it to me! https://www.bugmoto.com/pitch ]] Also, I’m testing out the Brake Free helmet light which uses technology to sense when you’re decelerating to alert drivers behind you. While it seems logical that this would be beneficial, I’m unable to find any studies to show it’s actually effective. On top of that, it adds weight to your helmet and it’s just one more thing to charge. Is it worth it? Welcome to BugBites, for Oct 22 2026.
