Speed Triple Range

The character of a streetfighter and an aggressive hunkered down stance displays its intentions. The rich characterful unique burble of the all-new 1050 triple engine at idle hints at what’s in store. “Track” rider mode is set… You snap open the throttle, drop the slip assist clutch and unleash the speed triple’s wall of torque…

THE LEGEND COMES OF AGE

In 1994 we launched a bike that ignited a segment, defined a category and gave birth to the term ‘Streetfighter’. Over the past 21 years it has evolved but stayed true to its roots through its brooding minimalist stance encasing a thrilling Triumph Triple engine delivering a perfect balance of POWER, PRECISION, CHARACTER AND PERFORMANCE.

So how to make the new generation even better… with eye catching lines, billet machined components, stick-to-the-road Öhlins suspension on the R , incredible stopping performance from Brembo Monobloc brakes… add to that cutting-edge rider-aid technology combined with fistfuls of torque and real world power from the all-new 1050cc Triple engine, tuned for ultimate performance…we believe that’s how.

A wall of pure linear torque and real world riding power is in your grasp and the Speed Triple’s new engine is tuned to deliver more than ever. When you wind on the power the all new free flowing under seat exhaust system unleashes the rich characterful roar unique to a Triumph triple engine… for all around you to hear.

The three-cylinder all new 1050cc engine in the Speed Triple delivers the ultimate real world riding experience. The delivery of the acres of full range torque is controlled by you. For the first time, five selectable rider modes have been added that allow you to select how the power is delivered in conjunction with the very latest rider focused technology that includes: throttle mapping, traction control and ABS. The modes include: Rain, Road, Sport, a map that is configurable by you and a fifth, Track mode for well…the Track.

Technology

LED Indicators

Highlighting the attention to detail of the Triumph Speed Triple, slim-line LED indicators are fitted (in applicable markets). Featuring a crafted polished aluminium body, the indicators add a finishing touch to the new slim profile styling.

RBW Throttle

The new Triumph Speed Triple features a ride-by-wire throttle that interprets grip position for more instant and accurate throttle response and control. It also has the added benefit of improving engine efficiency and fuel economy.

Single Sided Swingarm

More than just a signature styling characteristic, the new Speed Triple’s single-sided swingarm is engineered to optimise handling stability – not to mention making it easier to clean the rear wheel, or remove it when changing the rear tyre.

Riding Modes

The new Speed Triple features five selectable riding modes – Rain, Road, Sport, Track and a Rider-configurable mode. Each mode varies throttle response, ABS settings and traction control levels. Rain provides a softer throttle response, whilst Sport and Track provide a sharper, more aggressive throttle map. The riding modes can be quickly changed via new handlebar switchgear during riding, you can flip between road and track whenever the conditions or the mood takes you… or better still if the twisties come calling.

Twin Silencers

The under seat exhaust on the new Triumph Speed Triple, with black wrap and shot-blasted and anodised aluminium heat shields, are lightweight and incredibly efficient, but best of all, they sound incredible.

Styling

With its bold, distinctive looks, the Speed Triple is one of the most instantly recognisable silhouettes.

Handlebar Clamps and Risers

Exclusive to the new Speed Triple R, outstanding attention to high quality detail is evident immediately when you reach for its handlebars. The wide alloy bars are held by a pair of clamps and risers exquisitely machined from a solid aluminium billet, designed for style, engineered for substance.

Mudguard and Tank Infill Panels

Saving every ounce of weight makes a big difference in performance. That’s why the Speed Triple R features an exclusive, lightweight carbon fibre front mudguard and a pair of carbon fibre tank infill panels, both for that high-performance style and to save weight.

Rear Wheel Finisher

The smallest details can make the biggest impact, which is why the new Triumph Speed Triple R comes with a rear wheel finisher made from machined billet of aluminium. A true reflection of our attention to detail.

Suspension

The new Speed Triple S has preload, compression and rebound damping-adjustable 43mm upside-down Showa forks and Showa monoshock rear suspension unit, utilising factory honed settings. The Speed Triple R uses 43mm Öhlins NIX30 upside down forks and Öhlins TTX36 twin tube rear monoshock both fully adjustable for preload, compression and rebound damping. This all means it sticks to the road when the throttle is open and the bends are calling.

Wheels, Brakes and Tyres
