Triumph unveils new Speed Triple 1200 RS

The Speed Triple 1200 RS now produces a whopping 183 hp at 10,750 rpm. That’s 3 hp more than its predecessor. The impressive 128 Nm of torque (also 3 Nm more) is delivered by the three-cylinder at 8,750 rpm. Thanks to a new, free-flowing exhaust system and a compact, lightweight muffler, performance on both road and track is taken to a higher level. Weight has been reduced to 199 kg roadworthy.

Speed Triple 1200 RS with Öhlins

The Speed Triple 1200 RS features the latest generation Öhlins SmartEC3 semi-active suspension. The updated suspension system is fully adjustable. This offers the possibility to optimize damping. Adjustment can be done via an intuitive TFT screen. Together with Brembo Stylema calipers and Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3 tires, the Speed Triple delivers unparalleled grip and braking power according to Triumph.

Design sportier

With its bold lines and sporty, upright roadster stance, the Speed Triple 1200 RS immediately catches the eye. The aluminum twin-spar frame, new wheels and compact design provide improved maneuverability. The distinctive twin headlights and single-sided swingarm remain. However, the bike now has an even more aggressive look, thanks in part to the more compact rear end.

Five driving modes

The new Speed Triple 1200 RS features the latest in riding technology. These include five riding modes (Rain, Road, Sport, Track, Rider), optimized cornering ABS and disengageable traction control. Furthermore, it now has Brake Slide Assist in Track mode and the associated Triumph Shift Assist quickshifter.
