Chinese custom shop Mandrill Garage has transformed a Triumph Bonneville T120 into a street tracker that blends racing aesthetics with practical functionality. The Beijing-based workshop replaced the standard fuel tank with one from a Triumph Scrambler 900 and added a traditional flat track tail section. The build maintains street-legal features including front brakes, lighting, and turn signals.
3D printing technology played a significant role in the customization process. Some components were directly printed using durable nylon material, while others were first prototyped in resin before CNC machining in aluminum. The headlight assembly exemplifies this approach, featuring a 3D-printed structure housing Baja Designs lights with a carbon fiber front plate.
“In terms of design, I wanted a classic flat tracker, but I also wanted it to be usable on the street,” says shop owner Luo Hao. “So I kept the front brakes, and installed lights and turn signals. The overall shape had to be as ‘standard’ as possible.”
The motorcycle features a custom titanium exhaust system weighing just three kilos (6.6 lbs), significantly lighter than the stock components. Performance upgrades include Öhlins rear shocks, Brembo brake calipers, and matched 18-inch wheels front and rear. The cockpit has been fitted with Renthal flat track handlebars, 3D-printed switch blocks, and a compact Motogadget Motoscope Tiny speedometer.
Mandrill Garage complements their motorcycle customization work with other creative ventures including a bar and restaurant. Their diverse approach is reflected in their bike builds, which typically feature contemporary styling and vibrant paint schemes. This particular T120 sports a colorful livery reminiscent of classic Honda Rothmans racing designs.
