Features

Engine: The Speed Triple’s 1050cc, three cylinder engine, with its unmistakable character and sound, pumps out a great surge of bottom-end torque, massive mid-range punch and an impressive level of overall power. Peak power is 130bhp at 9250rpm while peak torque of 77ft.lbf arrives at 7550rpm. Triumph’s Keihin ECU offers sophisticated mapping for quicker starting, cleaner running and fuel economic engine.

Wheels: Multi-spoke alloy wheels add to the Speed Triple’s streetfighter attitude.

Suspension: The fully adjustable 43mm upside down forks and rear monoshock add superb levels of quality and control, while the new black anodised finish to the front forks amplifies the Speed Triple’s rebellious look.

Brakes: High-spec, twin Brembo radial front caliper four pad, four piston units, with a radial master cylinder, supply outstanding braking performance.

Rear End: The Speed Triple’s rear-end has sharp, minimalist styling and features a new rear sub-frame, polished stainless steel heat shields and repositioned ball burnished aluminium pillion footrests to give the pillion rider more leg room. It also sports a clear-lens LED rear light.

Handlebars: Magura tapered, anodised aluminium handlebars are a sharp addition to the Street Triple’s minimalist styling.
