Created to celebrate the 21st anniversary of the Hyde Harrier
and the 50th anniversary of the Triumph Bonneville, the Hyde Harrier Jubilee
is the result of a 15-month project by Triumph specialist Norman Hyde and
Harris Performance.
Like the original Harrier, the Jubilee is powered by a Triumph engine,
although in this case a modern Hinckley-built 865cc unit. As featured in MCN
(19 Nov 08).
Remember that the Bonneville was the Fireblade of its day,” comments Hyde.
“By mixing the heart of today’s Bonneville with up-to-date components we can
create a modern representation of the bike’s sporting nature that many of us
grew up with.”
Hyde has designed the Harrier as a kit. In its Base Kit form it contains
painted frame & swinging arm, fuel tank (unpainted), seat unit (unpainted)
with upholstery & light, battery carrier & dummy oil tank, footrests &
fixings, gear lever & linkage, rear brake pedal & linkage, rear mudguard,
prop stand, rear wheel spindle & adjusters and adjusting spanners.
However customers may pick and mix a variety of exotic components to add to
the Base Kit, as shown on the prototype. These include a handmade Harris
stainless steel race exhaust, Öhlins suspension front and rear, forged Dymag
wheels, Acumen instrumentation, AP Lockheed radial brakes and Keihin smooth
bore carburettors.
