Nicknamed the 'Trusty' Triumph due to its great reliability under difficult conditions in the First World War. A total of 30,000 machines were produced for military service by the end of the war in 1918.
It was essentially an updated Model A but with just a kick-start and no pedals like previous models. A chain primary drive connected the engine to the Sturmey-Archer hand operated gearbox, which was then linked to a belt final drive.
