What Buyers Should Know
Bigger Tank, More Range
The 2026 Bobber gets a new 14-litre fuel tank, up from 12 litres in 2021. Triumph claims 64.2mpg, giving a theoretical range of around 198 miles from brimmed to dry.
New Aluminium Rims
New aluminium rims replace the old steel wheels for 2026, saving approximately one kilogram. This lightens the steering and gives the suspension an easier time.
Twin Brembo Brakes
Twin disc brakes with Brembo callipers are now fitted upfront on the 2026 model. This is an upgrade over the 2017 model which required heavier reliance on the rear brake.
