The Bobber's differences from the Bonneville T120 include:

  • An adjustable solo seat that can slide backward or forward and by this tilted higher or lower
  • A swing cage mounted to a mono shock absorber which is mostly hidden from the profile view with the illusion that the frame has a hard tail
  • The 1200cc engine is detuned for less horsepower in favour of higher torque at a lower engine rpm
  • Single front disc brake
  • Slash cut style exhaust pipes instead of the traditional pea-shooter style


In 2020, Triumph introduced a limited edition Triumph Factory Custom (TFC) version of the Bobber. Globally, only 750 of these bikes were produced and each is numbered in the series.

The Bobber TFC features:

  • Union Jack treatment on the fuel tank
  • Statement seat
  • Brushed stainless steel 2 into 2 single-skin exhaust system with Arrow brushed stainless silencers and carbon end caps
  • Ohlins front and rear suspension
  • Increased HP: 87 PS @ 6,250rpm
  • Increased torque: 110 Nm @ 4,500rpm
