Triumph’s iconic Speed Triple receives the
‘R’ treatment for 2012, with a new model
lavished with the most desirable components from the
biggest names in the motorcycle industry. From the
iconic Öhlins forks, developed especially for
the new Speed Triple R, to the track-developed Pirelli
Supercorsa SP rubber, it’s clear that this is
no ordinary motorcycle.
The Speed Triple R takes Triumph’s class leading
roadster and creates a machine dripping with beautiful
engineering to deliver a whole new level of poise
and agility.
Working in close collaboration with Swedish suspension
wizards Öhlins, the Speed Triple R sports the
latest specification NIX30 43mm forks at the front,
with a jewel like TTX36 unit at the rear. To minimise
unsprung weight as much as possible, the lightweight
five-spoke forged aluminium wheels from PVM are over
1.7kg lighter than those on the standard machine,
delivering even more precise and agile handling. Stopping
the Speed Triple R are top specification four-piston
radial monoblock calipers from Brembo, the leading
brand in MotoGP racing, with Triumph’s electronic
anti-lock system available as an option. Together,
the brakes and wheels offer a 5% increase in braking
performance over the standard Speed Triple.
Powering the Speed Triple R is Triumph’s legendary
1050cc three-cylinder, producing an impressive 135PS
and a mighty 111Nm punch for effortless sports riding.
The Speed Triple R also debuts the 1050’s completely
redesigned gearbox, for more positive and refined
shifting action.
Of course, every Triumph ‘R’ model comes
with some added touches for that extra touch of quality.
Paint options are classy metallic Phantom Black or
Crystal White, with subtle details like the R branded
tapered black alloy bars, carbon fibre radiator, mudguard
and tank covers, unique decals and red coloured subframe
making the Speed Triple R stand out discretely to
those in the know.
As you would expect, the Speed Triple R is highly
specified with a comprehensive instrumentation package
that includes programmable gear shift lights, digital
speedometer, lap timer, fuel gauge and trip computer
alongside the large analogue tachometer, with a coded
key immobiliser fitted as standard. A wide range of
further options are available from Triumph’s
Genuine Accessories range, including stylish flyscreens,
belly pans and seat cowls, security and luggage solutions.
The accessory slip-on silencers and three-into-one
‘low boy’ exhaust, developed in collaboration
with Arrow Special Parts for the Speed Triple, are
also available for the Speed Triple R.
