2017 Triumph Speed Triple R ABS Crystal White

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.

Our all new 1050cc triple engine incorporates 104 new developments that deliver More Power, More Torque and More Responsiveness, where the merest twist of the ride by wire throttle delivers an instantaneous wave of torque and a truly heart thumping surge of acceleration.

New ride by wire throttle bodies, new ECU, new cylinder head design, new combustion chamber, new header design, new fuel delivery system, new slip assist clutch, new crankshaft, new airbox… equals an all-new engine with a smaller, narrower profile and delivering the ultimate road riding experience. A guaranteed thrill for anyone who rides it.

The new Triumph Speed Triple has agility, stability and engagement at the heart of its handling characteristics. With its dynamic and refined ride balanced by a bold, aggressive attitude you will find yourself looking for excuses to take the long way home for maximum fun and maximum thrills.

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.

For the ultimate in stopping power, the new Triumph Speed Triple S and Speed Triple R both use radial Brembo monobloc calipers, gripping 320mm discs, in conjunction with switchable, selectable ABS. Adding to all-round braking performance and balanced high-grip and durability, both Speed Triple S and Speed Triple R use Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa tyres running on light, cast aluminium wheels.

The new Speed Triple has a twin spar aluminium frame giving it a perfect blend of rigidity and feel.

The Triumph Speed Triple is defined by its ability to deliver dynamic handling in all riding conditions and the new Speed Triple builds on that reputation. A forward, aggressive riding position ensures total control, total confidence, whether you’re forging a path through urban sprawl, sweeping at speed across the countryside or hitting the apex at a race track.
