The new Triumph Bonneville bobber

 Triumph reveal their new Bonneville Bobber

Triumph invited us to their new motorcycle launch, and we're excited to be the among the first to show you what their new machine looks like.

The latest addition to the Bonneville family, Triumph introduces the all-new custom Bonneville Bobber. Born in a unparalleled bloodline of Triumph bobber customs that stretch all the way back to the 1940’s it captures the minimalist styling, aggressive stance and engineering of a genuine bobber. 

  

A genuine factory custom, the Bobber features a whole host of premium finishes including bronze 1200HT engine badges and the signature Triumph makers mark triangle, brushed engine covers, branded locking fuel cap and silver satin and graphite handlebar risers.

The Bobber engine delivers modern classic capability with ride-by-wire, for enhanced safety and control from twin classic styled throttle bodies, as well as incorporated liquid cooling with radiator and fan. This brings better performance and cleaner, more fuel efficient riding.

The Bobber is powered by Triumph's 1200cc high torque engine, as fitted in the Bonneville T120. There is a dedicated ‘Bobber’ tune for more torque and power lower down the rev range - although they won't tell us the official engine specs just yet. The lead engineer explained to us the torque assisted clutch is essentially a very light feeling slipper clutch that you can also find on the Bonneville.

For riders who are looking for more long distance comfort there is a stylish comfort seat in a ribbed and quilted version, a heated grip kit and a cruise control kit.

There are four colour options to choose from; 

• Ironstone, with a matt finish
• Morello Red
• Stunning Competition Green and Frozen Silver, with a stylish British racing twist
• Jet Black

For us, it's an amazing looking bike with all the technological advances we come to expect on modern bikes. That's what makes this bike really appealing in our opinion. Classic styling, aggressive performance with traction control, rider modes, ABS - all packaged in a unique and head turning street machine. We love that Triumph have maintained the classic hard tail bobber look and we believe it's exactly this that set's it aside.

Triumph have partnered with Avon for tyres dedicated for the Bobber. This means tyre choice is limited, or non existent.

We have been told that the Bobber's handling is better than we would expect thanks to Triumph's partnership with FOX. Adjustable suspension is a very good move from Triumph here but we will wait and see how the bike handles. We hope it's as good as they suggest.  

We only heard the exhaust note very briefly, but Vance and Hines exhausts tips will be available to purchase with the bike.

We don't know the power figures or pricing yet, but we expect it to be between 85-95hp with lots of torque. And the price? We hope it's no more than £13k!
