Triumph Bonneville Bobber- All You Need To Know

  • Mar 31, 2017
  • |   Comments
Iconic British motorcycle manufacturer Triumph launched the Bonneville Bobber, adding one more bike to its stable. With the launch of the Bobber, Bonneville series now has 4 different models to choose ranging from the 865cc Standard to 1200cc Bobber. We discuss about the overview explaining the technical specifications and design aspects of the motorcycle below.

Design And Looks: The base of the motorcycle is largely based on the Bonneville T120, as both share the same frame and engine. The bike is designed keeping in mind the retro Bobber styling. True to that, the motorcycle has a thin single seat along with fat tyres on spoked wheels. The Bobber has a look of a hard tail which does justice to the name. The 9.1 litre fuel tank is sculpted and goes well with the overall minimalistic design cues of the bike. The dual exhausts are short and looks abruptly sliced. The black engine head with chrome clutch/flywheel casing looks attractive.

Engine And Performance: The Bonneville Bobber has the same 1200 cc liquid cooled parallel twin engine from the Bonneville T120, but in a different state of tune to suit the character of the bike. The engine churns out 77 PS at 6,100 rpm and a healthy 106 Nm torque at a pretty low 4,000 rpm. The engine is fueled by a Multi point sequential electronic fuel injection system, and has a compression ratio of 10.0:1. The clutch is a wet multi plate assist unit, and the engine has a six speed transmission.

Brakes And Suspension: The Bonneville Bobber has a single 310mm disc upfront with Nissin 2 piston floating caliper, and a 255mm disc at the rear with Nissin single piston floating caliper. The bike comes with Anti lock Braking System (ABS) as standard equipment. The suspension duties are carried out by 41mm KYB forks upfront with 90mm travel and a KYB monoshock with linkage at the rear. The bike also got Traction Control System and Riding Modes as standard. The bike comes shod with 100/90-19 tyre upfront and 150/80 R16 tyre at the rear. Both the wheels are spoked to match with the looks of the motorcycle. Impression:

The Bonneville Bobber is now the only motorcycle in the Big bike category which comes as a Bobber in the stock form. The motorcycle locks horns with the Harley Davidson Forty-Eight and Suzuki Intruder M800in terms of pricing and character. The motorcycle retails at Rs. 9,09,000 (Ex- Showroom, Delhi).

Kawasaki Z900 Vs Triumph Street Triple S-
A head to head comparison

Jul 16, 2017
There would always be those two motorcycles from different manufacturers with similar characteristics or similar pricing or similar audience or under similar category. Not very often all these together apply for two different motorcycles, that too for Superbikes in a country like India. This has happened now with the Kawasaki Z900 and Triumph Street Triple S, being the two motorcycles.

Dyno Comparison- Royal Enfield 650 Twin Vs Duke 390

Dec 5, 2018
The Dyno test video of the Royal Enfield is out and the results are as expected. The test was done on both 650cc models, The Interceptor 650 and the GT 650. For comparison sake, we are also measuring the power of KTM Duke 390, which is almost as powerful as both Royal Enfield motorcycles.

Should You Prefer Buying Ktm Duke 390 Over Royal Enfield Continental GT 650?

Nov 22, 2018
Since the day it was launched, the Ktm Duke 390 has remained the most bang for buck motorcycle in India. It was the king until the launch of Royal Enfield Continental GT 650, which seemingly replaced the Duke from its throne. The GT 650 is more powerful on the paper, with a 650cc oil cooled parallel twin engine which produces 47 HP and 52 Nm of torque. As a result, people are convinced that the Duke 390 is no longer a performance option when it comes to buying a performance bike in Rs. 2 to Rs. 3 lakh price range. Let us discuss Pros and Cons of buying a KTM Duke 390 over Royal Enfield Continental GT 650.

Royal Enfield 650 Twins Competition Check

Oct 4, 2018
I was chatting with one of my friends earlier, about the plans for his future bike. He told me that, Benelli 600i seems like a good option, for his touring and amateur racing. Without wasting a single second, I said “Why not one of the 650 twins”, and no, I wasn’t and still am not promoting any Royal Enfield products. My reaction was the outcropping of the “Not yet confirmed fact” that the new twin cylinder motorcycles will be priced under Rs 3 lakh.

Royal Enfield Continental GT achieved a top speed of 241 km/h, so what?

Sep 10, 2018
People are freaking out over the Royal Enfield’s record at the Bonneville dry salts. The company set a top speed of 240 km/h with their Continental GT 650. It’s a good speed but I am here to tell you that why it isn’t all that impressive.
