Triumph has added a new model to its modern classic range in India – the Bonneville Bobber. Priced at Rs 9.09 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), the Bonneville Bobber is based on Triumph’s new 270-degree crank liquid-cooled parallel-twin platform.
The Bonneville Bobber has been designed to resemble the original bobber motorcycles of the 1940s, with a stretched wheelbase, low-slung styling and minimalistic bodywork. The round headlamp, indicators and instrument console, single seat, spoke wheels and the slant-cut exhausts further boost its retro appeal.
Powering the Bonneville Bobber is a 1200cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine delivering 76bhp and 106Nm of torque. The engine gets ride-by-wire throttle, and is mated to a six-speed transmission. Electronic aids include two riding modes, ABS, cruise control and traction control.
The Triumph Bonneville Bobber is available in four paint schemes – black, red, silver and green/silver. Triumph is offering a host of optional accessories like bar-end mirrors, exhaust system, LED indicators, quilted seat, panniers and crash protectors. The bike has been touted as a rival to Harley-Davidson Street Bob, Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber and the Indian Scout Sixty.
