Triumph Bonneville Bobber launched at Rs. 9.09 lakh

Triumph Motorcycles has launched the Bonneville Bobber in India at a price of Rs. 9.09 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The bike is based on a new chassis but borrows its powertrain from the Bonneville T120.

The bike adopts a minimalistic and stripped down design language that is hugely inspired from the garage-built custom motorcycles from America. Major design cues seen on the Bonneville Bobber include a circular headlight, a single seat setup, flat-type handlebars with bar-end mirrors, a short exhaust with a slash-cut design, an authentic battery box with stainless steel strap, rear mudguard loop, carb styled twin throttle bodies, broad adjustable levers, traditional rubber gaiters, classic rear ‘drum brake’ inspired hub, new side panel and a sprocket cover with removable inspection cap.

It is available with four colour options - Ironstone with matte finish, Competition Green & Frozen Silver, Morello Red and Jet Black. Triumph is also offering a total of 150 accessories with the factory custom bike to give prospective owners an option to personalise their bikes, as per requirement.

Powering the Bonneville Bobber is the same 1,200 cc parallel-twin unit that powers the T120, which is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. However, the engine has been retuned to churn out 76 BHP @ 6,100 rpm and 106 Nm of torque @ 4,000 rpm. This marks a power drop of 4 BHP as compared to the T120's output. Braking duties are handled by a 310mm disc at the front with 2-piston floating caliper and a 255mm disc at the rear with a single piston floating caliper. Suspension setup includes 41mm KYB front forks with 90mm travel, while the rear gets a KYB monoshock with linkage that offers 76.9mm of rear wheel travel.

Features on offer with the Bonneville Bobber include ride by wire, two riding modes - Road and Rain, switchable traction control, torque assist clutch, anti-lock braking system (ABS) and engine immobilizer.
