Triumph Bobber TFC as a collector’s item

It is a special motorcycle, this Bobber TFC by Triumph. A lot of care has really been taken with its appearance. You would want to put it in your living room. And buying one might be a good investment, since Triumph only builds 750 of them. In short, this model has all the ingredients for a collector’s item.

Triump Bonneville Bobber TFC

You probably know the engine. It is the 1,200cc upright twin that also powers the Bonneville 1200. Everything else on the Bobber is different. Frame, suspension, seating position, handlebars, counters and styling are authentic and classic. The TFC sauce includes carbon parts, two-tone paint with the already described gold marble accents and twin Akrapovič mufflers.

Hand-signed

But there’s more: the tank is hand-signed by Triumph TFC’s stylist. The handlebars with clip-ons are unique and the narrow front tire with a large 19-inch rim further accentuates the typical Bobber style. Wherever you look, this special version treats your eyes to plenty of nice details. Like, for example, the numbered badge on the aluminum milled crown plate.

More aggressive mapping

Just look at those exhausts, for example. Those are not ones that Akrapovič grabbed off the rack. They were developed and designed for the Bobber TFC. Triumph claims they sound nice along with the “rousing intake roar” when you open the throttle. A more aggressive engine mapping has been used for the TFC version, making the twin cylinder more sharply responsive.

Brembo and Öhlins

Brakes are Brembo with monobloc M50 calipers, and front and rear suspension is Öhlins. Triumph has chosen high-quality components that will definitely give the handling a sporty boost. The front fork legs are anodized gold, thus matching more gold-colored details, such as the chain. That gold contrasts nicely with the black parts of the bike.

Single saddle

Then there’s the black leather seat, with its embossed triangular Triumph logo. This floating, single-person seat and hidden hard-tail-style rear suspension create the Bobber’s signature style, muscular stance and purposeful appearance.

Low-speed engine block

The 1,200cc twin cylinder produces 78 hp and 106 Nm of torque at just 3,750 rpm. So it is a block that delivers its performance at lower revs, and that is as it should be with a Bobber. You can, however, color the handling and throttle response yourself with three riding modes: Sport, Road and Rain. In addition, the bike has traction control and a slipper & assist clutch.

Also exclusively priced
