Triumph Bonneville Bobber

The Bobber uses the same 1200cc parallel-twin High Torque motor (mated to a 6-speed transmission) that belts out 78PS at 6100rpm and 106Nm at 4000rpm. That said, Triumph has smoothened out the torque curve on the 2021 Bobber with over 100Nm now available between 3000rpm and 5000rpm. On the hardware front, the 2021 Bobber features a new 47mm Showa cartridge fork and a chunky 16-inch front wheel coupled with dual twin-pot Brembo floating caliper up front. The traditional double-cradle frame with its swing-cage rear suspension sees no change. The bike still retains that faux hardtail look with the monoshock neatly tucked below the seat. Other updates include a larger 12-litre fuel tank better suited for long-distance runs.

Triumph has retained the quintessential bobber look for the 2021 model. Elements like the slash-cut exhausts and floating pan solo seat lend the bike its distinctive style. The seat can be moved forwards or backwards to suit the rider’s height. When paired with the aftermarket footpeg from Triumph, it alters the rider triangle to suit one’s preferences. The bike is available in three new colours: Matte Storm Grey/Matte Ironstone, Cordovan Red, and Jet Black.

The 2021 Bobber features fat chunky wheels, slash-cut exhausts, a single-piece seat, bar-end mirrors, and a fully LED headlight. Some of the other features include electronic rider aids like two riding modes (Road and Rain), adjustable traction control, torque-assist clutch, ABS, and a new, easy single-button cruise control.

The 2021 Triumph Bonneville Bobber will take on the upcoming Indian Scout Bobber.
