The folks in the Triumph Factory Custom department are back with a motorcycle that receives both functional and aesthetic upgrades. The 2025 Triumph Bonneville Bobber TFC gives a sporting edge to the retro-styled standard cruiser. With that in mind, let’s go over the details.
We’ll let Triumph Motorcycles Chief Commercial Officer Paul Stroud have the first words: “The Bobber is the bike of choice for many incredible custom builders, and we know that more than 70 percent of our customers in this category personalize their bike[s] with accessories. That’s why our design engineers, inspired by a passion for the global custom scene, have set out to create the most beautiful, exclusive, and desirable motorcycle possible. For those customers looking for a motorcycle that is even more special, customized, and modified by the best design engineers within Triumph, this Triumph Factory Custom is simply exceptional. From the exclusive paintwork finish to the high-end components finished in gold, each feature has been crafted with unmatched precision.”
- The 2025 Triumph Bonneville Bobber TFC gets a Sport mode. While it doesn’t add peak power, it sharpens the throttle response and brings on the vertical twin’s best numbers slightly earlier.
- Akrapovič mufflers improve the sound and appearance. The Akrapovič mufflers feature carbon fiber caps and header-junction guards. Triumph insiders describe the exhaust audio as a “deep hot rod.”
- Clip-ons give the 2025 Triumph Bonneville Bobber TFC a café edge. The riding position is much more aggressive than the standard Bobber.
- Öhlins handles the suspension chores. The NIX 30’s fork tubes are gold colored, while the internals—spring-preload and damping—are fully adjustable via gold-anodized adjusters. The shock is adjustable for spring-preload and rebound damping. While the suspension travel remains limited—3.5 inches in the front and three inches in the rear—it is set up to match the TFC’s specs and intention.
- Brembo ups the front-braking ante. The 310mm discs get radially mounted Brembo M50 four-piston calipers. The adjustable Brembo MCS master cylinder has a radial pump for more precise actuation. As on the standard bike, a Nissin caliper works over a 255mm disc in the rear.
- Another performance enhancement is the loss of 11 pounds. The 2025 Triumph Bonneville Bobber TFC hits the scale at 523 pounds with the stylish 2.4-gallon fuel tank filled with ethyl.
- The two-tone tank has textured hand-painted accents in marble gold.
- Carbon fiber side panels and front fender mounts are lacquered for a glossy finish. The side panels also get model-specific paint and graphics.
- The distinctive seat looks good whether you’re on the bike or off. It is textured leather with an embossed Triumph triangle logo.
- The engine covers’ TFC badges are machined billet. Additionally, the badges get gold detailing.
- There’s gold in an arc across the analog-styled portion of the dash. “TFC” badging is on the face, and there’s also an LCD inset.
- If you want even more gold, you’ll find it in the chain.
- Badges adorn the top of the triple clamp. One badge proclaims “TFC” status; the other is a numbered badge. Only 750 examples of this motorcycle will be produced.
- The list price of the 2025 Triumph Bonneville Bobber TFC has a list price of $18,495. That’s a $4500 premium over the standard Bobber. Delivery of the Bobber TFC begins in February. You can inquire at your dealer on the Triumph website.
