Triumph Bonneville Bobber Black More than just a paint-job, the Black is a worthwhile update
One year on from the Bobber’s debut Triumph has created what amounts to an Evo version; cool-looking, capable and even more competent. The Bonneville Bobber Black – let’s just call it the Black – which will reach showrooms early in 2018 incorporates the improvements the original Bobber needed and a styling update that makes it look even tougher than before. But just like Henry Ford’s Model T customers, owners can have any colour they like so long as it’s black. This means that all the chromed or polished alloy items on the stock Bobber are now either anodised, powder coated or painted black. That includes the exhaust headers and silencers, footrests, gear linkage and foot lever, brake and clutch levers, the handlebar, seat pan, engine covers, cam cover and sprocket cover, the headlight rim, and the wheel hubs. That’s a lot of black!
The new bike has been given an entirely different front end, adding a second rigidly-mounted 310mm front disc. Both are gripped by twin-piston Brembo calipers, rather than the Nissin on the solitary floating front disc of the original Bobber. That bike’s 43mm KYB fork has also been replaced by a beefier 47mm Showa cartridge item. It’s still non-adjustable and offers the same 90mm of wheel travel as before. The KYB rear monoshock, adjustable for spring preload, remains. The second front brake resolves the original Triumph Bobber’s biggest dynamic problem. At 228kg dry it was essentially under-braked with just a single front disc.
The Black’s final front end change is basically a visual one. It now wears what practically amounts to a rear tyre up front. The original Bobber’s 19-inch front wheel is gone, swapped for a 16-incher. It wears a chunky-looking 130/90 Avon Cobra AV71 tyre, matched to the original 150/80-16 rear. Dry weight of the Black is now 237.5kg, thanks to the extra bits. But also increased is the original Bobber’s £10,600 price. The Black retails for £11,650 in Jet Black gloss, with the Jet Black Matte costing an extra £125.
