Triumph: the new Speed ​​Triple S and RS want to be the best ever

Triumph confirms itself as a leader in the wild bike sector by launching on the market Triumph Speed ​​Triple S e Speed ​​Triple RS, two latest generation naked bikes that are inspired by the icon of modern motorcycling designed by Triumph and take it to the highest levels thanks to the perfect balance between power, handling and equipment. We are probably trained at Speed ​​Triple most powerful and advanced ever.

The new S and RS models have been improved in every way and the RS variant boasts the level of allocations e technical techniques of absolute quality, which combines an always perfect balance and the soul of the original "rebel", born in 1994 to give life to the first "series streetfighter", inaugurating the high performance naked category. The new generation Speed ​​Triple S and RS feature significant engine development and major engineering evolutions to optimize performance and reduce weight. All 105 new powertrain components play a key role in delivering more power and torque across the rev range and ensuring smoother, more linear power delivery. There power maximum time is 7% higher compared to the previous generation (150 HP), while the maximum torque is 4% higher (117 Nm). To increase performance, engine upgrades include a new, lighter crankshaft gear, aluminum cylinder liners coated in Nikasil lighter, a smaller starter motor and a lighter battery and alternator. THE new pistons profiles and the new cylinder head with optimized exhaust ports improve gas flow and offer an even higher compression ratio, to achieve greater power delivery. A new sump reduces the oil level in the engine, decreasing friction and improving weight distribution. The oil system has been rerouted internally through the head gasket to the cylinder head, allowing for the removal of external hoses, optimizing styling and reducing mass. “We have introduced important changes to the engine of the new Speed ​​Triple. The result is a thruster which revs higher and for longer, with a redline moved forward by 1.000 rpm. compared to the previous generation. The new engine - he has declared Stuart Wood, Chief Engineer of Triumph Motorcycles – it unleashes even more character, precise throttle response and the extraordinary and unmistakable sound of a three-cylinder Triumph”. A new, more open exhaust, a catalyst bigger and a system collector lighter improves gas flow and performance on both models. Newly styled tall silencers on the Speed ​​Triple S and lightweight, sporty silencers as standard on the RS offer a significant improvement to the three-cylinder roar, giving the Speed ​​Triples the most fantastic soundtrack ever. The cultural, improved , clutch slipper they ensure optimal comfort for the rider and contribute to the perfect driving experience of the Speed ​​Triple.

Both models now feature a full-colour TFT instrumentation adjustable with 5" display which guarantees optimal visibility. A new dedicated animation featuring the Speed ​​Triple logo is integrated into the startup sequence on both models, while the different themes and styles available change the layout of the information depending on the driving mode. The new ergonomic switch blocks are equipped with illuminated buttons which simplify their use in all light conditions. The advanced system ride-by-wire allows you to configure the riding style of the motorbike according to your preferences, thanks to the variable accelerator maps linked to the selectable riding modes (up to five). The new cruise control improves long-distance drivability and is now standard on both models, while DRL daytime running lights are integrated into the front lights to increase visibility. The Speed ​​Triple also offers ABS e traction control disengageable, as well as a USB charging point. The new Speed ​​Triple RS reaches even higher levels of technology with ABS and traction control optimized for better cornering control, which guarantee excellent management of braking force, slip rate and torque, improving the driving experience both when cornering and in a straight line. The credit goes to the advanced inertial measurement unit (IMU), developed in collaboration with Continental, which constantly measures parameters such as roll, pitch, yaw, pitch angle and acceleration, and then adopts the appropriate active safety measures. The Speed ​​Triple RS also integrates a new control system steering lock e keyless ignition, activated electronically via a dedicated button on the switch block – and for even greater safety – it can be deactivated.

Both Speed ​​Triple models now offer a more agile and precise riding experience than ever before, thanks to innovative and advanced riding aids as well as the precise and natural handling that has always distinguished Triumph motorcycles. And on the RS model it appears even more evident, thanks to a weight reduction of 3 kg. The RS variant also comes as standard with an adjustable Brembo brake lever and a matching clutch lever, as well as a new comfort saddle. The new models preserve the characteristic single-sided swingarm and the double-spar aluminum structure of the previous generation, now optimized to guarantee a perfect balance between rigidity and feel. Both bikes also feature the same level of top-of-the-range equipment, with Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa tires and dual front brake discs with Brembo M4.34 monobloc radial calipers with four pistons and two pads. Finally, both models integrate high-performance suspension, fully adjustable for use on the road and on the track:
Speed ​​Triple RS upside down forks Ohlins NIX30 43 mm and rear monoshock Ohlins TTX36 double tube, all with fully adjustable damping in preload, rebound and compression; Speed ​​Triple S 43mm Showa inverted forks and Showa rear monoshock, all with fully adjustable damping for preload, rebound and compression.

The new models now feature the exclusive ten-spoke wheels with an incredibly shiny finish, for a more fascinating and contemporary look, while preserving the aggressive, low-slung and immediately recognizable style that has always been typical of the Speed ​​Triple. The new racing-style dual megaphone mufflers on the Speed ​​Triple S have a larger bore, aluminum heat shield, black painted construction and stainless steel cover with a sleek, sleek design. THE silencers alti Arrow of the RS model have an innovative style that makes them more angular and sporty, with a brushed titanium finish, carbon fiber heat shield and cover and a lower weight than the basic components. The Speed ​​Triple RS also features a higher level of high-quality finish and detailing, with a carbon fiber front fender and radiator cover, as well as new RS decals. The new tip matching underfairing and passenger seat with key release system are standard, in addition to the new rear subframe with Matt Aluminum finish, in line with the dominant theme of the Street Triple RS. Both models maintain the features and details that distinguish the Speed ​​Triple, including: rear nut cover machined from solid, front light clusters with an unmistakable profile, front fairing with integrated air intake, aluminum handlebar end mirrors, elegant fuel tank , narrow radiator and slim double seat with embossed Triumph logo. And both models are available in two different color combinations.

with over 50 products available via Triumph's online configurator, it is possible to customize the Speed ​​Triple S and RS with official accessories that enhance their style, performance and practicality. Designed for the highest levels of quality and reliability, accessories include CNC machined brake reservoir with black anodized finish, machined lug nut covers, slimline LED turn signals and modern-looking lightweight carbon fiber fuel tank blanking panels . To increase practicality, a lowered saddle, frame and fork protectors, radiator guard, front fairing visor, passenger grab handle, luggage options and heated grips are available.
