Thornton Hundred has launched a new creation, named Evo Bobber. It is based on the Triumph Bonneville Bobber, being the first of a new generation for this company that has been active for eight years.
With production initially limited to 25 units, TH’s CEO, Jody Millhouse, explained what he sought in this build: ‘Reaching the limites of existing Bobbers, it was time to elevate the mould and redefine perceptions. The design philosophy focuses on precision geometry paired with timeless looks’.
It features an impressive 1,200cc parallel-twin engine with 120 hp (the original only delivers «just» 76 hp). The build used lightweight materials such as carbon fiber on the wheels and fuel tank, as well as titanium.
The suspension is from K-Tech and the brake components are from HEL. Different rider heights were taken into account to adjust the handlebar and footrest positions, along with two seat mountings ensuring suitability for the rider’s height.
The full keyless RFID system ensures security and eliminates keys on a bike that weighs just 170 kg (about 80 kg lighter than the Triumph Bobber). In the fuel tank, the bike’s unique character is marked with the Thornton Hundred logo, along with the numbering and the name Evo Bobber engraved.
