Triumph Bonneville Bobber teased ahead of India Launch

Triumph will soon be launching the Bonneville Bobber in India. The factory custom motorcycle is expected to be introduced in the country by the end of March or early April, 2017. The British motorcycle manufacturer hasn't released an official announcement on the same yet, though a video teaser has been released, pointing towards a nearing launch.

The Bonneville Bobber gets a stripped black design theme that makes it look different from other bikes in Triumph stable. It is based on a new chassis and is equipped with a new suspension setup, while the engine has been borrowed from the Bonneville T120. The bike features minimalistic bobber design cues - a circular headlight, beefy front suspension forks, flat-type handlebars, bar-end rearview mirrors, a single seat setup, an exposed rear monoshock and a shorter exhaust with a slash cut design.

While the engine is the same 1,200 cc parallel-twin unit that powers the T120, it has been retuned to develop 76 BHP @ 6,100 rpm and 106 Nm of torque @ 4,000 rpm. This output is around 4 BHP less than the stock T120, though Triumph claims to have fiddled with the Bobber's engine setup to develop more power and torque in lower rpms. Transmission duties are handled by a 6-speed gearbox.

The bike comes with advanced features like ride-by-wire, two driving modes - Road and Rain, standard Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and traction control. Customers can also opt for additional options like cruise control and heated handlebar grips.
