Triumph Speed Triple

Speed Triple. Real world performance for riders who know. The definitive streetfighter. The benchmark. The best. In a word. Legend.

Triumph has taken all that’s good about the Speed Triple and created a new model. A new chapter in the legacy. All-new chassis is the sharpest tool in the box. All-new optional ABS from Nissin for the greatest stopping power. And that 1050cc triple. Oh yes, the engine. And the look? Short. Stubby. Aggressive. Twin headlights. Single sided swingarm. Alloy bars. Pure Speed Triple. Improved.

All-new chassis and riding position inspires total confidence with light and precise handling that is perfectly balanced for an incredibly planted and stable ride.

Triumph’s trademark twin headlights, single-sided swingarm and high-level exhaust have all been restyled for a more aggressive and contemporary look, as well as improved performance, while the soulful 1050cc triple has been refined and uprated with 7% more torque for an even more engaging experience.

The Speed Triple sports the kind of specification you would expect from a top-of-the-range naked sportster. Track derived specification includes four-piston Brembo brakes for eye-popping stopping power, fat alloy handlebars, fully-adjustable 43mm upside down forks for maximum control and a comprehensive instrumentation that includes lap timer and programmable gear shift light.

The Speed Triple also comes with optional anti-lock brakes for the first time and is available with a host of genuine accessories to personalize the look, performance and practicality of this exciting machine.

The boss of the naked sportsbike class just got a whole lot better.

With an all-new chassis Triumph’s most iconic model has moved to a whole new level. More nimble than before, the Speed Triple corners and stops like you will not believe.

What’s more, it’s powered by one of the all-time great powerplants and the revered 1050cc triple packs 7% more torque than its predecessor.

The legend continues.

STYLING
Bodywork Stripped back bodywork, it looks muscular, hunched forward, mean and aggressive because that’s exactly what the Speed Triple is. Frame A thoroughly modern twin-tube, twin spar frame wrapped tight around a bulging powerhouse of an engine. The Speed Triple’s unmistakable structure is pure unadulterated Triumph. Exhaust The twin silencers beneath the short, stubby tail section of the Speed Triple leave the rear wheel fully exposed on the right by the cool, single-sided swingarm. Not for looks, for real world sports bike riding. It just happens to look great. Headlights The trademark twin pentagon headlights ensure there’s no mistaking what’s coming.

ENGINE
Performance
The power of the Speed Triple comes from a muscle-packed three-cylinder, 1050cc engine. Serious top end performance comes from a huge 135PS, backed up by 111Nm of peak torque with plenty more muscle lower down the rev range. Giving you instant thrust regardless of revs or gear. And, with our high tech fuel injection all the power comes smoothly and relentlessly, right when you ask for it.

Configuration
The liquid-cooling, double overhead cams of the Speed Triple operate 12 valves and rev out beyond 10,000rpm.

And, we’ve finely tuned the three-into-two exhaust like a musical instrument to enhance the engine's torque and make it snarl even more angrily as the revs build.

CHASSIS
Frame
The Speed Triple introduced an all-new frame in 2011 to give you more forward weight distribution for sharper handling and exceptional front end feel.

And we’ve kept the geometry sharp, with a steep 22.8 degree steering angle, short 1435mm wheelbase and just 90.9mm of trail to give you breathtaking responsiveness and agility.

Suspension
The upside down forks on the Speed Triple are high quality Showa units, 43mm in diameter with adjustable rebound and compression damping, while the centrally mounted, single rear shock also has adjustable spring preload. So you can set the Speed Triple up for a gentle outing or an on-the-edge track day and it'll perform brilliantly.

Brakes
To match the Speed Triple’s level of handling and power we fitted Brembo's radial four-piston calipers, with the option of ABS, for outstanding stopping power and feel.

Wheels and tyres
We fitted lightweight cast aluminium wheels and a wide 6inch rim on the back to take the grippiest, sports-focused rubber the Speed Triple deserves.

Single-sided swingarm
The swingarm is aluminium and features an eccentric chain adjuster so that the rear wheel stays perfectly in line with the front for focussed, precise handling. swingarm is also incredibly stiff, resulting in a super-stiff chassis that's rigid enough for the hardest track use and tough enough for real world roads.

Riding position
The Speed Triple is all about high performance precision and control. So the bars are low, the footrests high and set back and the seat is sculpted deep to hold you in a forward-leaning position.

As you take control of the Speed Triple you are in no doubt that it’s made for sports riding, but you can tell we built it for the real world too.

EQUIPMENT
ABS The four piston, radially mounted Brembo front callipers, with optional electronic ABS make 100 calculations per second to prevent wheel lock up at either end. Immobiliser We’ve made sure your bike is protected by a coded key immobiliser system which disables the ignition if it detects an attempt to turn or force the ignition switch without the presence of the electronically coded correct key. Instruments/ computer A serious bike needs a high level of equipment so the Speed Triple, with its modern, single purpose chassis, is driven by the latest technology. The instrumentation is part digital, part analogue so that you are presented with the most intuitive display of information. We also added programmable gear change lights, service interval reminder, lap timer, trip computer and fuel gauge, everything the focussed performance rider needs.
