- Ridge Roamer takes a detailed look at the similarities and differences of these two Bobbers to help figure out which one is the best choice for you. Primarily a numbers and features comparison between the 2021 Indian Scout Bobber and the new 2021 Triumph Bonneville Bobber.
I test rode both. Triumph by a mile for "smile on your face" rating. BTW, I'm an Indian owner, Harley owner, and now also a Triumph owner.
I was looking to buy the scout. Whilst looking, I clapped eyes on the Triumph bobber. Wow! Blew me away. I bought one. Absolutely no regrets.
i got the same struggle. My only complain (just seeing them in videos) is, that the scout has a deeper sound (also with aftermarket exhausts) which i really like. But i think with 6ft2 the triumph is better fitting. I have to check these out
You still have the triumph ? In really debating on it and the scout bobber even the chief bobber 🤦🏾♂️
i have the same problem... :))
The triumph is superior as a bobber. And the engine power is almost identical, with fake 100hp advertised for the Indian. They measure it at the crank, not the actual HP at the wheel, like the triumph.
Triumph is spoked tubed wheels with abs.
Indian has cast tubeless without abs unless you pay more.
Very similar bikes
We just can’t choose between these two - both incredible bikes!
i bought the triumph bobber black, GRINS!!!!
Amazing... nice compare. Most have these two head to head so this video will be much appreciated by many. So thank you....
I had the Indian in my sights for years until I was awed by the beauty of the Triumph. The modern day electronics and now the larger tank makes it the winner. You can get a custom pillion seat made for it too now by a few international companies.
It would be nice if you had a ride comparison video of both comparing the ride comfort over different roads including pot holes and the like with the standard sound comparison. Thanks again.
I wonder about the safety of the passenger on the Triumph bobber though, because if you did put something to sit on, on top of that fender, not only is there no suspension for the passenger but wouldn't getting squished by the rider in front of you be a concern as the seat goes up and down with the frame over the bumps?
@@raybrensike42 yes I get it. Suspension would definitely have to be upgraded. This is just one design from Thorton.

Ive got the bobber black edition and have no regrets buying this bike its just ace👍👍👍
The triumph has a more upright and comfortable seating position for me so I went with the Triumph
Likewise. I get back ache on Indian bobber. Love my triumph bobber.
Thanks for reviewing really appreciate headphones in my younger riding days but my chain driven bikes are over
I just bought a 2022 Triumph Bobber! Jet Black.
No comparison... Looks much better. Retro!

Love My 2021 Scout Bobber Abs in White Smoke 😁👍💟
Also to keep in mind with the belt the scout really only puts down about the same 77hp on a dyno where as with the chain no power is lost so both bikes have virtually the same on paper power.
The Triumph haunts my dreams. I’ll have on someday.
No regrets on my 2019 Triumph Bobber Black.
Nicely done sir💪wish more people put out such clear and concise content like this. I actually just picked up the triumph bobber a couple months ago myself and was considering the scout so i wanted to watch your video to see what I was missing out on😅 I ended up getting the first bobber triumph put out, the 2017 model, and I'm not sure if anyone else has made note of this already in the comments but the 2017 bobber (the regular bobber, not the bobber black) does not come with cruse control or and LED headlight stock and only has a single disk brake in the front. There are a few other differences like the larger front tire in the black and whatnot but those are the things that caught my attention in this video so anyone else shopping for a later model triumph bobber watch out if those are deal breakers for you. Having said all of that I also have to say I am absolutely in love with my 2017 triumph bobber. I've done a little bit of work customizing her here and there trying to bring here even closer to the era she is paying tribute to but aside from a catalitic converter delete her preformance is sock and i can confidently say if anyone is thinking about getting the triumph bobber I hope that you do! You will not be disapointed. The most fun I've ever had on a motorcycle hands down! That high tork really makes it a blast to ride and it turns a lot of heads and even the Harley riders can't stop drooling over it and complimenting it at stop lights😎 Awesome bike!!!!!
The Triumph looks better, in my opinion, and has modern features like traction control and cruise control standard, but still retains that old school bobber look. I'm going with the Triumph.
I love both of these bikes. Iv had the 2022 Triumph Bobber for about a year. A good friend recently picked up the scout bobber. I would disagree with the comments on the Triumph seat being terrible and not usable after 20 minutes. I easily finish a tank of gas before I really get uncomfortable. Granted I am 5'6". The cruise control on the Triumph is also super nice and really easy to use. Both are awesome.
Which seat do you have? The standard or the thicker quilted one? Or the really thin, I think they called it "heritage" seat?
They both look awesome but for me the Triumph wins just..purely cos its BRITISH and so am I 🇬🇧👍
Triumph 👌
I have a 2020 Indian scout bobber sixty. I LOVE the look of the triumph bobber, but I’m 6 foot 230lbs. Look kinda silly on the triumph
I love both. I really wanted to get the Indian but got a better deal on the Triumph, so went with that. I am hoping in a few years that I can add the Scout Bobber or Rogue.
I was looking at both these bikes for my next bike but didn't like the small tank on the triumph but now they have increased the tank size which has got me interested again.. When the time comes I will have to test ride them.
Being in the UK I was going to buy the Triumph Bobber but now I'm really impressed with the Indian Dark Horse Bobber with really great options to transform the bike you will be getting. The Indian will be a bit more expensive when I have changed a few items, Indian have done a great job in offering this modification option on their site I just have to wait for my bike to be ready then it's happy days.
The indian made me interested in bikes so thats the winner for me 😊
Great comparison, they’re both gorgeous! Have you ridden the Speedmaster?
I will get the triumph bobber only because I would get less aftermarket parts because it has the look I really want. If I got the Indian scout bobber I just feel I would do a lot more upgrades.
i like both, but i think the Triumph is prettier. I went with that. The suspension is back breaking/teeth smashing on pot holes. I can see why people sell them with low mileages on them. I still love it though - the Indian having less clearance makes me think it'd be even worse. which would be disastrous on our roads in the UK. I'd like to test ride one though. great video.
My 2016 Triumph Bobber has anti-lock brakes, traction control, and rain/road mode standard. It also has duel trip odometer, gas gauge, how many miles left until the tank is empty, average MPG, digital RPM, and digital clock. The Standard Triumph Bobber did not have cruise control, so that part is correct. Everything else is spot on.
I think the Indian scout bobber with the chief clock.. would be a game changer,
Triumph Bonneville Bobber definitely getting one soon my bro is getting the indian
Nice review! Thanks. Ride safe.
Very clear and informative video!👍👍👍
Really different styles. The Triumph reminds me of an old Norton, the Indian is certainly a cruiser styling. I actually like the lack of technology on the Indian. I didn't catch the price comparison, but the Triumph might come out a bit cheaper because I'd keep the stock exhaust. The Indian exhaust needs to be replaced with a 2 into 1 or minimally shorter pipes, the stock Scout exhaust is way to large for the size of the bike. I'd be happy with either but I bought the Scout Rogue and am very happy with it, personally I find the Indian Rogue much more comfortable with it's more relaxed riding position.
I had a 1970 Triumph Trophy that I bobbed with a solo seat and just loved it. However, nothing makes a bike look better than a girl on the back (or front), so I have to have a second seat.
Watch out when you read specifications. I've seen more than a few discrepancies. Just now I see for the Triumph Speed Master given under US specs, 60.9 mpg (4.6 liters / 100 km)
Does that even make sense? 60.9 x 3.2 = over 180 miles a tank, but the tank is only 12 liters, and if you got 60.9 miles for every 4.6 liters...well there isn't but 12 liters of gas in the tank, so you are not going to be 60.0 mpg, not in US gallons.
Triumph does a have an aftermarket passenger seat. If you go off looks, Triumph will get more.
Indian engine performance is rated at the crank by Indian and at the wheel by triumph. The Indian has barely higher HP and has to be revved higher. To hit the same torque and HP as the triumph.
The triumph is objectively superior in performance. It also has a superior suspension that is most easily and CHEAPLY made much better with a COC customs seat spring.
The mid controls are more comfortable.
I bought the Scout. Passenger, style and full black style was the final reason. But I really love the Bonneville for beings more modern. I‘m sure one day I‘ll have a Bonnie Bobber.
Great video thanks
I got Indian scout bobber 60 just for the belt drive without it weighing 600+ pounds
Wouldn't say no to any of them, good review 👍
Which will be better for the person 6.2 ”?
Put the wheels and fenders from the Triumph onto the Indian and it's a wrap.
Does anyone know how many miles the Triumph T120 can typically get on 1 tank? I have the Bobber and it gets about 140 miles per tank.
Scout aggresive, meaner and bobber classic, subtle both modern classic.
As far as Bibber the triumph takes it.
i like them both but triumph for me
Pretty sure this is the 2022 Triumph
Triumph is popular in Indian biker community
Bought a Triumph -22
I am in the same dilemma in 2022 indian scout rouge vs triumph bobber
I love the new Rogue version of the Scout. I did a video on it compared to the other Scouts too

The triumph can't be customized for a passenger seat?
Correct, there are no factory options for a passenger seat on the Triumph Bobber, but there are on the Indian Scout Bobber.
It’s a BOBBER… If you want a pillion, don’t get a “Bobber!”
Indian Bobber wins......according to my wife.lol
Bobber
i have to say, they need to make bigger bikes for new generations. we're getting taller as a species. I'm 6 foot and my Bobber looks like a toy underneath me. THey use women and men under 5.8 to sell these bikes. they need to think again.
I'm 6' and it's the same. My scrambler 1200 is our size.
The average male height on this planet is 5 feet, what you talking about?
2.8 inches is not massive. According to my wife every night..
Hahaha
You mean round, right?
