Triumph Bonneville Bobber to be launched on March 29
The Bonneville Bobber to be priced around Rs 10 lakh on-road.
The Triumph Bonneville Bobber was unveiled at the EICMA motorcycle show in Italy last year and will be introduced in the Indian market on March 29, 2017. Dealerships have already started accepting bookings for a token amount of Rs 2 lakh and will deliver the motorcycle once it's launched, within 10 days after full payment.
The Triumph Bonneville Bobber is a factory-customized Bonneville which is more or less a stripped-down Bonneville T120 with retro design elements and paneling to carry the old school look. Distinctive design elements like the floating aluminium single seat pan, twin slash-cut peashooter exhausts and the hardtail look gives it an elegant character. The motorcycle is constructed around a new chassis and suspension geometry and also gets new bubble tank, custom battery box and an adjustable riding position. It gets over 150 additional accessories available internationally and we can expect Triumph to offer the same in the Indian market. Though the motorcycle is a retro classic design, it gets all the bells and whistles Triumph offers on their modern-day motorcycles.
The motorcycle is powered by the Bonneville T120's 1200cc parallel-twin which produces 77PS @ 6100 rpm and 106Nm of torque @ 4000 rpm. It gets two riding modes - road and rain; switchable traction control and a torque-assist clutch. The Bonneville Bobber gets KYB 41mm telescopic fork suspension with 90mm travel at the front and a KYB monoshock unit with 76.9mm of travel at the rear. The Bobber gets 21-inch front and 16-inch rear retro-looking Avon Cobra tyres which look the part while offering the performance expected from today's bikes. Braking is handled by a single 310mm disc rotor with Nissin twin-piston floating calipers at the front and a 255mm disc rotor with a Nissin single piston caliper at the rear. ABS is offered as standard.
We expect the Bobber to be priced around Rs 10 lakh on-road. The motorcycle will be placed between the Triumph Bonneville T120 and Thruxton R.
