under the seat . Like the T120s , there ’ s the new Brembo front brake setup . The rider ’ s seat now has separate lumbar support and sculpted deep foam construction , while the pillion seat has 11mm thicker foam than the previous generation . Seat height is a low 705mm while , as always , the seat configuration can be easily switched between a twin or single seat set up , tailoring the look of the Speedmaster to suit personal taste and allowing the fitment of a useful accessory rear rack which is one of over 79 accessories available for the bike .
BOBBER For 2021 Triumph ’ s Bobber gets a strong visual revision as well as the same engine refinements as the rest of the range . The bike now features a 16-inch fat front wheel and new , chunkier 47mm front forks , giving a really muscular and imposing front end presence . Moving back past the new LED headlight with Triumph ’ s signature LED daytime running light is a new 12-litre fuel tank which Triumph says improves the Bobber ’ s range by 33 %. As before
the solo seat of the Bobber floats above the rear swingarm and is adjustable fore and aft on its mounting and sits at a very low 690mm . The new front wheel is complemented by the Bobber ’ s wide rear wheel setup . Both have a classic wire-spoked design , with black rims . The Avon Cobra tyres have been specifically developed for the Bobber , with lightweight construction for excellent high-speed manoeuvrability and class-leading stability . Adding to the minimalist style of the Bobber for 2021 are new black engine covers , cam cover and sprocket cover , giving the Bobber a new , meaner , moodier edge . The instruments feature a new bezel , including a metallic embellisher with subtle Bonneville branding . There ’ s a new dial face , with translucent silver markings , and more integrated warning lights . The multifunction display is controlled by an easily accessible handlebar mounted scroll button . The new 2021 generation Bobber comes in three distinctive colour options , with a new Matt Storm grey and Matt Ironstone scheme , a new Cordovan Red scheme , and a classic Jet Black option .
