Triumph unveils Bobber TFC
Triumph Motorcycles have revealed the newest addition to their Triumph Factory Custom (TFC) range – the Bobber TFC. Combining a unique, handcrafted finish with premium components, the Bobber TFC will be limited to just 750 units globally, of which only a handful are allocated for Australia.
The Triumph Factory Custom programme was born from an in-house competition in 2014 that saw two teams produce one-off bikes based on existing Triumph platforms. Response to the ‘TFC-1’ bobber and ‘TFC-2’ scrambler ultimately led to the release of production TFC bikes, starting with the Thruxton TFC and Rocket 3 TFC in 2019, then the Bobber TFC in 2020.
In each instance, TFC bikes have been premium, limited-edition versions of the models they’re based on. The 2025 Bobber TFC continues this trend, boasting an exclusive, hand-crafted paint finish, special detailing and upgraded components.
“For those customers looking for a motorcycle that is even more special, customised and modified by the best design engineers within Triumph, this Triumph Factory Custom is simply exceptional,” said Triumph’s Chief Commercial Officer, Paul Stroud.
“From exclusive paintwork to high-end components finished in gold, each feature has been crafted with unmatched precision. This is a rare, hand-crafted gem that showcases Triumph’s heritage and innovation. And while it will look incredible as part of a collection, this bike will be fully appreciated on the road.”
Style upgrade
For their second take on a Bobber TFC, Triumph have created a bike that they call the ultimate expression of custom Bobber style and attitude.
A two-tone paint scheme combines gloss metallic black with hand-painted ‘marble gold’ accents. Applied as stripes to the fuel tank and side covers, the textured effect of this paint is complemented with a gold anodised finish on the fork lowers and adjusters, a gold chain and gold accents on the engine badging and covers. There’s a gold ignition key, too.
The adjustable seat is trimmed in black leather and has a subtle Triumph lozenge logo, while the analogue gauge has a TFC-specific face. Those side covers carry bespoke ‘TFC’ badging and ‘Factory Custom’ identification. A TFC badge is also added to the billet-machined top yoke, along with each bike’s individual build number.
Spec upgrade
Output from the Bobber’s Bonneville-based 1200cc parallel twin (57.5kW and 106Nm) is unchanged for the TFC, but those peaks are reached slightly lower in the rev range, at 6000pm and 3750pm respectively. In addition, a pair of premium Akrapovic mufflers with carbon fibre accents are fitted.
More significant specification changes include the adoption of a 19-inch front wheel, adjustable Öhlins suspension front (NIX 30) and rear (RSU), Brembo M50 radial front brake calipers with a Brembo MCS master cylinder, clip-on handlebars and a significant reduction in weight. The latter has been achieved via the use of carbon fibre parts and a smaller fuel tank, now at 9 litres instead of 12.
To exploit the improved handling that comes with the larger front wheel and suspension upgrade, a Sport riding mode has been added to the existing Rain and Road modes. There’s also Traction Control and multi-function rear lighting that eliminates the need for a central tail/stop light, suiting the Bobber’s stripped-back aesthetic.
March arrival, limited numbers
Of the 750 units of the Bobber TFC to be built, just a handful have been allocated for Australia, with deliveries expected in March. Australian pricing, from $32,290 ride away, is a premium of almost $9,000 over the standard Bobber.
