The Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster is based on the Bobber, but is more practical, thanks to the inclusion of pillion seat. Apart from the seat, it also gets a host of features to further improve rideability. The front end features fatter 130-section rubber, and the rear comes with a 150-section unit. The spoke wheels measure 16 inches on both ends, and the tyres are Avon Cobra units. The motorcycle comes to a halt using twin 310 mm front discs and a single rear 255 mm disc, both with ABS.
The 41 mm KYB front fork features cartridge damping, and the rear KYB monoshock with linkage gets a pre-load adjuster. The bike is built on a tubular steel twin cradle frame. The Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster shares its engine with the Bobber. The High-Torque 1,200 cc SOHC parallel twin motor puts out 77 PS of power at 6,100 rpm. The peak torque of 106 Nm comes in at 4,000 rpm. The engine works in unison with a 6-speed transmission with torque-assist clutch. The ride-by-wire throttle enables two riding modes: Road and Rain. Switchable traction control, single button cruise control, and immobiliser are standard as well.
