Triumph Bonneville Bobber specifications and features
Every figure from the manufacturer's sheet, plus what each feature actually does for you.
Engine and performance
The 1200cc liquid-cooled engine makes 76.9 bhp and 106 Nm through a 6 Speed. With a kerb weight of 251 kg that is 306 bhp per tonne, 20th best power-to-weight of the 51 bikes in this class we have reviewed.
Torque is high relative to peak power, which is what you want for pulling away with a pillion and riding a gear higher in traffic rather than chasing the redline.

Dimensions in practice
The Bonneville Bobber weighs 251 kg with fluids, has an 690 mm seat, 140 mm of ground clearance, and rides on a 1500 mm wheelbase. Clearance is on the low side; take tall speed breakers at an angle with a pillion.
The fuel tank holds 12 litres, good for about 250 km between fills in real-world riding.
Tyres are MT90-B16 front and 150/80-R16 rear, tubeless.
Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Safety and braking
Stops both wheels from locking under panic braking. The single biggest safety upgrade on a two-wheeler.
Front disc brake
Sheds heat and works when wet. Worth the small premium over a drum on any commuter.
Rear disc brake
Adds feel and fade resistance at the back; matters more on heavier or faster bikes.
Tubeless tyres
A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.
Traction control
Cuts power if the rear spins on wet paint or gravel. Rare under ₹2 lakh.
Side-stand engine cut-off
Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.
Hazard lamps
All four indicators flash; useful in fog and when stopped on a highway shoulder.
Convenience
Engine kill switch
Switch the engine off from the right bar without reaching for the key.
Chassis
Rear monoshock
One central shock instead of twin units; usually better damping on broken roads.
Lighting
LED headlamp
Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.
LED daytime running lamp
Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.
LED tail lamp
Lights up instantly, which gives the vehicle behind a fraction more warning.
Console and connectivity
Digital console
Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.
Ride modes
An Eco map for mileage and a Power map for overtakes, switched from the bars.
Equipment against Bonneville Speedmaster, Scout Sixty Bobber and Scout Sixty Classic
Against Bonneville Speedmaster, Scout Sixty Bobber or Scout Sixty Classic, it gets rear monoshock, led daytime running lamp and ride modes that most rivals skip.
What it lacks: alloy wheels, which rivals at this price offer. None of these are deal-breakers, but they show where the money went.
