2017 Triumph Bonneville Bobber first view

Minimal bodywork, a low-set adjustable single seat, flat handlebars and wire-spoke wheels combine to give the Bonneville Bobber a cool custom vibe.

Built around an all-new frame, Triumph's latest bike also features a 'cage' rear swing arm which is connected to a hidden mono-shock suspension set-up. A natty hard-tail look is the result.

Thanks to its unique state of tune, the familiar liquid-cooled, 1,200 cc, parallel-twin engine delivers peak torque lower down the rev range (although output figures have yet to be disclosed). A distinctive noise is promised, courtesy of brushed stainless steel 'slash cut' exhausts with peashooter silencers.

Despite those classic design cues, the Bonneville Bobber boasts plenty of modern technology. For example, a torque-assist clutch reduces gear-change effort, while a ride-by-wire throttle offers a choice of road or rain riding modes. Furthermore, switchable traction control is fitted.

When deliveries begin early next year, buyers will be able to specify Competition Green / Frozen Silver two-tone, Jet Black, Morello Red or matt Ironstone paintwork. They're likely to be tempted by the comprehensive accessory selection, too.
