Triumph to launch Bonneville Bobber in India in first quarter of 2017

British motorcycle manufacturer Triumph revamped its product portfolio in 2016 by adding new motorcycles to its modern classics range. The company recently introduced the Bonneville Bobber in October this year and, according to our sources, it will be launched in the Indian market in the first half of 2017. It will be placed above the existing Bonneville T120 and will compete with the likes of the Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight.

Based on a completely new hardtail style frame, the new Bonneville Bobber gets a concealed rear suspension. It follows a genuine factory custom design language with beautifully styled minimalism. The signature stripped back, single seat and wide flat bars complete the authentic Bobber look. Moreover, it features adjustable riding position with a floating aluminium single seat pan covered with a beautiful stitched deep foam pad.

The Triumph Bobber retains the 1,200cc high-torque engine of the Bonneville T120. However updates such as the new dual airbox change the characteristics of its performance delivery. The iconic Bonneville's peashooter exhausts have been replaced with new, slash-cut mufflers. The engine offers 77PS of power and 105Nm of torque along with two riding modes -- 'road' and 'rain'.

Along with the above-mentioned riding modes, the Triumph Bonneville Bobber also retains other electronic goodies from its sibling including ABS, ride-by-wire, switchable traction control, and a torque-assist clutch.
