With a portfolio boasting over 100 meticulously customized Triumph motorcycles, Spanish boutique workshop Tamarit Bikes has earned its reputation as a master of transforming timeless classics into works of art. As part of their bespoke bike-building services, the company also maintains a continuously expanding catalog of customisable aftermarket parts and accessories. Positioning them as one of the, if not the, most prolific modifiers of the iconic British marque globally.
The absence of the Triumph Bobber from the Tamarit lineup stood out as a notable omission. That is, by no means, until now.
Valquiria, Tamarit’s inaugural Bobber creation, was largely inspired by a sleek, black iteration of the iconic Bonneville motorcycle, its soft-tailed silhouette serving as the foundation for this unique build. However, it was more than just the donor bike that distinguished this endeavour from others. “The venture stands out for two primary reasons,” explains Tamarit. “Its innovative approach is novel, having never been employed previously.” “As a milestone in our development, the launch of this initiative marks a significant moment, as it’s our debut effort focused on serving the needs of female customers – something we’ve eagerly anticipated for a long time.”
With its release, the Triumph Bobber has become a platform that lends itself perfectly to customisation, much like many other models in the Valquiria range have done before it. One of the most striking and impactful changes to the aircraft is undoubtedly its newly designed tail section.
The sleek, razor-sharp tail, reminiscent of a high-performance motorcycle’s rear spoiler, dramatically redefines the Bobber’s aesthetic profile. As you gaze upon the rear of the chassis from a hovering perspective, the bike adopts a decidedly more sporty profile, its laid-back demeanor replaced by a sleek, aggressive attitude characteristic of traditional Bobbers. The design securely attaches to the Bobber using existing mounting points, serving as a seamless replacement for the original seat. The Tamarit offers its Triumph Bobber models in classic, bold colours or left unpainted, accompanied by either black or richly hued brown upholstery, and every variant features a striking laser-cut Bobber logo emblazoned on the rear.
Beneath the tail, another innovative feature has been added to the Tamarit portfolio. The ‘Bobber Equipment’ package comprises a sleek fender eliminator seamlessly paired with a hugger-style license plate mount, designed for a streamlined appearance. The bolt-on half comes equipped with an LED taillight, a homologation-featured reflector, and a pair of Motogadget m.Blaze pin-flip indicators. The equipment boasts a distinctive laser-cut chrome steel chainguard emblazoned with the Tamarit logo, paired with a rear fender that wraps elegantly around its contours. The securing mechanism features a precision-crafted stainless steel bracket, laser-cut for a seamless fit, while the fender’s textured profile harmoniously integrates with the tail unit’s tapered extremity.
The laser-cut Triumph Bobber sump guard sits low on the chassis as you approach Valquiria’s entrance. Above the sleek Tamarit ‘Little Bastard’ entrance fender, a trio of 3/4 headlights mounted on the rear end of the vehicle await discovery. While maintaining the original’s essence, I reworked the text to improve its clarity and readability:
Bar finishes from Motogadget now feature sleek M.Blaze disc indicators, replacing the clunky factory components of the Bobbers’ handlebars and controls.
To boost Valquiria’s performance, Tamarit focused on optimizing Bobbers’ intake and exhaust systems.
Attached to each bike are artificial carburetors equipped with Free Spirits Energy Filters. Featuring 180-degree intakes, the system draws in cool air to boost engine performance while maintaining optimal operating temperatures. The MASS Escape system is specifically engineered for Triumph Fashionable Classics to eliminate the restrictive factory-issued catalytic converter and exhaust mufflers.
To truly set this custom Triumph Bobber apart, Tamarit wrapped it in a sophisticated pale blue and gold finish that exudes style. High-polished gold and sleek black Tamarit emblems adorn the tank and engine inspection covers, perfectly encapsulated within their bespoke casings.
As Tamarit continues to dominate the custom Triumph scene, their exceptional work yet again demonstrates why they’re widely regarded as the best in the business. Building a bespoke bicycle requires considerable skill and attention to detail. Manufacturing complex components is hardly a walk in the park either. As Tamarit consistently impresses, our anticipation is palpable regarding their future offerings in retail stores.
