Triumph Bonneville Bobber Black

The single-seater Bobber Black’s standard features include a 16-inch front wheel (-3.0-inch reduction from the outgoing Bobber’s 19 inch wheel) as well as larger 47mm (+6mm) Showa front forks, full LED headlights with daytime running lights and a single-button cruise control.

“The Bonneville Bobber is a bike that appeals to just about anyone, and is perfectly suited for those who prefer a touch of classic bobber styling. And now the Bobber Black is set to complement the Bonneville Bobber package with its bold custom style, elegant engineering and more importantly, a thrilling hot rod ride and sound,” said Fast Bikes CEO Datuk Razak al-Malique.

The Bonneville Speedmaster – known for its laid-back riding position, comes with swept back beach bars, twin and single seat, set forward foot pegs, 16-inch wire-spoked wheels and a larger 12-litre fuel tank for increased range to make it the ideal long distance cruiser.

Powering the Speedmaster is a 1,200cc parallel-twin engine with 77PS at 6,100rpm and 106Nm at 4,000rpm, and is managed by a six-speed manual gearbox.

“The Bonneville Speedmaster provides a level of comfort, practicality and versatility to the otherwise very capable Bonneville family. It is perfectly suited to those who want a dash of classic styling to their touring machine, or for those who wish to add pillion versatility to their ride. The Speedmaster brings a new dimension to the Bonneville family with a more classic British custom cruiser laid back style,” said Datuk Razak.

Moving on to the Tiger 800 range, the off-roader XCx and road-going XRx have both experienced up to 200 upgrades which includes its chassis and 800cc three-cylinder engine for a more responsive ride, while providing 95PS at 9,500rpm and 79Nm at 8,050rpm.

The manual gearbox has also been reworked and features a shorter first gear ratio to enhance off-road traction, low-speed manoeuvrability and improved acceleration.

Both the XCx and the XRx offer six riding modes of Road, Rain, Off-Road, Sport, Rider (custom) and now includes Off Road Pro and have been fitted with a new adjustable full-colour TFT instrument cluster, LED lighting, updated cruise control, five-position adjustable screen, high-end Brembo front brakes, suspension configurations, handlebar-mounted switch cubes with backlit buttons and new premium bodywork.

Also included is ABS, traction control, ride-by-wire throttle, heated seats and grips on some models, power sockets and a two-position adjustable saddle – 840 to 860mm for the XCx and 810 to 830mm for the XRx.
