THE PREMIUM CUSTOM BONNEVILLE BOBBER
Triumph’s 2017 Bonneville Bobber was something of an anomaly for the brand. Like its popular Bonneville base platform, it blended a smooth and powerful engine with timeless styling, but it also sold quicker than anything else in Triumph’s 115-year model history, ever. If this doesn’t make a case for its merit, then I don’t know what does. Still, it had its shortcomings, but now Triumph has added the new “darker, meaner” Bobber Black. Continuing to draw inspiration from the original post-war bobber movement, this new steed is equal parts accommodating and aggressively defiant—and won’t let you forget it.
The Specs
The Bobber Black has a lot in common with the previous Bobber—from the triangular faux-rigid frame, to the brutish 1,200cc, eight-valve SOHC twin engine, to the ubiquitous tractor-style solo seat. Still, there are some important differences to note. First, the Bobber Black now boasts a larger, 47mm cartridge Showa fork, up in size from the previous Bobber’s 41mm KYB fork.
