Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Bonneville Bobber 2021

The Triumph Bobber 2026 is the quiet queen of coolness. It doesn't need top values to shine, but shines with composure, torque and mechanical honesty. The Speedmaster counters this with the same genes in a different body: more comfortable, more majestic, with clear limits to the sporty radius. Together, they make a pair that you won't think of leaving the garage once you've ridden one. For soloists who want to breathe style, it's the Bobber. For connoisseurs seeking wide horizons without haste, it's the Speedmaster. And for all those who have both, the common denominator has finally been found.

Triumph Thruxton RS 2021

The Thruxton RS is authentically modelled on the café racers of the sixties - dreamy looks from nostalgics are guaranteed. In the saddle, however, it feels anything but retro. High-quality chassis, high-performance brakes, noble looks and a high level of agility make a sporty after-work ride a pleasure, both aesthetically and in terms of riding dynamics.
