Styling Details: The new Street Bob continues with its bobber-style design. It features a low stance, single-seat layout, mini ape-hanger handlebars, and mid-mounted foot controls. The model now comes with a chrome-finished two-into-one longtail exhaust, replacing the earlier blacked-out dual-pipe setup. Bobbed rear fenders and a stretched-diamond black-and-chrome medallion are also part of the design, available across all colour choices.

Suspension and Braking: The motorcycle is built on a tubular cradle frame. It uses a 49mm telescopic fork at the front and a preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear.

Instrumentation and Lighting: The Street Bob features a four-inch semi-digital display mounted on the handlebars, offering better legibility than the older small LCD unit. A USB Type-C charging port is included for convenience. The motorcycle uses all-LED lighting for headlamp, indicators, and tail-lamp functions. These updates improve the functionality of the Street Bob while maintaining its traditional design language.
