However, it's priced exactly the same as the Bonneville Speedmaster cruiser motorcycle.
2021 Triumph Bonneville Bobber – What's New?
The 2021 Bonneville neo-retro gets some cosmetic as well as hardware updates. Starting with the hardware, the updated Bonneville comes with a new 16-inch 32-wire spoke front wheel with a 310mm twin-disc setup (coupled with Brembo 2-piston sliding axial calipers), instead of a skinny 19-inch front wheel with a single-disc brake. The 47mm Showa cartridge front forks are new for 2021 Bobber. However, no changes have been made to the rear wheel, suspension, and braking system. It continues to come with 150/80 R16 tires, mono-shock suspension, and a single disc of 255mm with a Nissin sliding axial caliper.
