2021 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS
Triumph has made it to the top of the hyper naked class with the new Speed Triple 1200 RS. The new Speed Triple is lighter, stronger and has a sharper shape.
The new Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS is a real punch and we can confidently talk about a revolution. Let’s start with the heart of an all-new, more powerful 1,160cc three-cylinder engine. The maximum power is 180 horsepower, which gives us an increase of as much as 30 horses. The maximum torque has increased to 125 Nm. All this with a weight reduced by 10 kg. The new Speed Triple 1200 RS weighs only 198 kilograms wet. The engine alone saves 7 kilograms. Thanks to the completely redesigned exhaust and intake, the motorcycle has a sharper sound.
NAS Analytics TAG The changes also included the rest of the structure. The frame has been completely redesigned and is made of die-cast aluminum. This made the frame 17% lighter than the previous model. The weight was shifted lower and more forward. The handlebars are 13mm wider for a more dominant position and better control. The footrests, on the other hand, have been moved slightly inwards. The new, contoured seat is at a height of 830 mm.
The six-speed gearbox works with a clutch equipped with the Slip & Assist system. Brakes, which include Brembo Stylema front calipers, are responsible for decelerating. Additionally, there is an adjustable Brembo MCS brake lever, which allows you to adjust the braking style to your preferences. Suspension is a fully customizable Öhlins NIX30 fork and Öhlins TTX36 rear shock. They have preload, rebound damping and compression adjustments.
To tame the Hinckley rocket, an advanced electronics package is used, the heart of which is the six-axis IMU. On board, we have Optimized Cornering Traction Control with the ability to turn off completely, the new quickshifter Triumph Shift Assist, Cornering ABS and five driving modes. The command center is a completely new 5-inch TFT screen that works with My Triumph Connectivity and features Lap Timer. Additionally, we have fully LED lighting and a keyless system. In the driving modes, we have the options Rain, Road, Sport and Track as well as the mode with the traction control turned off. In Rain mode, the power drops to 100 horsepower. In Track mode, the electronics are to intervene only in really tight situations. Cruise control and tire pressure sensors will also be included as standard.
The new Speed Triple 1200 RS also means changes in the style, which are more sharp and aggressive. The front fender is made of carbon fiber, and the passenger seat can be fitted with a body-colored overlay, which gives the bike an even sportier look. New 17-inch alloy wheels have been specially designed for this model. The motorcycle will be available in Sapphire Black and Matt Silver ice.
