This captivating triple engine delivers the ultimate blend of low-end torque and high-end power for superior performance on both road and track. Engine performance has also been improved through a rebalanced crankshaft. The

new-generation Öhlins Smart EC3 semi-active suspension continuously adjusts damping characteristics to suit the bike and rider’s movements, delivering incredibly sharp handling, agility, and control through corners.

Brembo Stylema® calipers and Brembo MCS span and ratio adjustable levers provide powerful stopping power and a personalized braking feel even under demanding riding conditions.

The Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3 is a road-legal tire that is also suitable for racing, with a bi-compound structure that provides grip, stability and durability.

Weighing just 199kg, the lightweight Speed ​​Triple features slightly wider and higher bars, a bold, aggressive design and purposeful detailing. Its sporty, upright stance conveys power and presence, while balancing agility and control. Combined with a narrow seat profile, the rider feels an intuitive and natural connection with the bike, resulting in precise handling and a comfortable ride.

The new Speed ​​Triple’s rider-focused equipment and technology deliver exceptional control and extensive suspension adjustability, including Öhlins’ Objective-Based Tuning Interface (OBTi), which allows the rider to dynamically and easily adjust the suspension damping characteristics for different riding situations.

• The Smart EC3 semi-active suspension can individually adjust the following seven parameters:
• Front stiffness
• Rear stiffness
• Brake support
• Acceleration Support
• Initial Acceleration Support
• Cornering Support
• Cruising Support

Also new are independently adjustable front wheel lift control, engine brake control, brake slide assist and fully adjustable cruise control.

Steve Sargent – ​​Triumph Motorcycles Chief Product Officer: “The new Speed ​​Triple 1200 RS is more refined than ever before, with a significantly improved electronics package.

The most powerful triple-cylinder engine ever

Maximum power is 183PS at 10,750rpm, 3PS more than the previous Speed ​​Triple, and torque is 128Nm at 8,750rpm, 3Nm more than the current model, and it also revs slightly lower.

The new SPEED TRIPLE 1200 RS engine incorporates the knowledge and know-how gained from Triumph’s Moto2™ engine development and is designed to be more powerful, durable, compact and lightweight.

The new free-flowing exhaust system and compact, lightweight silencer streamline and concentrate gas flow for

improved preserving

the Speed ​​Triple’s signature roaring triple-cylinder sound. Also noteworthy is the new Akrapovič silencer, an essential accessory for the new Speed ​​Triple. The silencer features a titanium outer wrap and mounting bracket, and is finished with a carbon fiber end cap and laser-etched Akrapovič logo.

High-performance parts for sharp handling

Instead of traditional conical needle valves, the damper’s damping adjustment utilizes innovative “spool valve” technology, which compensates for pressure fluctuations in the cylinder caused by the physical actuation of the valves, allowing for faster adjustment and improved comfort.

Öhlins® SmartEC3 semi-active technology delivers precise, dynamic handling.

The system includes Öhlins’ Objective-Based Tuning Interface (OBTi), which constantly monitors and adjusts the suspension’s damping characteristics. It adjusts the damping characteristics to deliver the desired performance for each scenario: straight-line riding, braking into a corner, bike balance through a corner, and acceleration out of a corner. Riders can customize this performance using the intuitive menu system on the TFT monitor

, and the bike itself continuously monitors and adjusts damping in real time to optimize performance for the conditions. For

next-level precision and control, the new SPEED TRIPLE 1200 RS also features an adjustable steering damper, delivering smooth, predictable handling in all conditions. It also features Brembo Stylema calipers with MCS levers, providing impeccable braking performance and customizable brake feel, and the new Speed ​​Triple 1200 RS comes standard with Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3 tires, featuring a bi-compound design that optimizes grip, stability and durability.

Striking the perfect balance between agility and control, this compact bike features slightly wider and higher bars than the current model, creating a sporty, upright roadster stance for precise handling and riding comfort. The

top yoke has also been redesigned to coincide with the addition of wider bars and a steering damper. The finish of these components has been changed to a sophisticated black tone, creating a contrast with the gold Öhlins forks.

Bold design and aggressive styling

The new SPEED TRIPLE 1200 has sharp lines and an impressive, neat silhouette with its entire body composition. The sculpted tank and minimalist rear end blend seamlessly with the rear light and license plate hanger to create a beautiful silhouette.

This new model inherits the Speed ​​Triple’s 30-year design DNA, retaining its distinctive twin headlights and single-sided swingarm, while enhancing its modern, aggressive styling and serious performance capabilities.

The new SPEED TRIPLE 1200 RS has evolved into an even sportier design than before. The aluminum twin-spar frame and new, lighter wheels reduce gyroscopic force, improving turn-in and agility in corners, and the new seat cowl has given the rear end a sharper design.

Despite all this new technology and electronic suspension, the Speed ​​Triple is one of the lightest bikes in its class, weighing just 199kg including fuel. This is thanks to the Speed ​​Triple’s new lithium-ion battery, which is significantly lighter than previous batteries.

From the bar end mirrors to the meticulously sculpted swingarm, the attention to detail, build quality and final finish are all top notch.

Rider-focused technology

The 2025 update introduces several new performance electronics that can be adjusted by the rider, independent of the riding mode.

The new Front Wheel Lift Control system receives input from a 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) to determine bike pitch and has four rider-adjustable settings.

Engine Brake Control can be customized to rider preference. Complementing the throttle map, it allows riders to tailor engine feel to their riding style and conditions.

Brake Slide Assist, available only in Track mode, optimizes ABS operation while allowing front wheel slip and rear wheel lift for track riding. This maximizes performance on the track, minimizes annoyance, and acts as a safety net in case of unforeseen circumstances. *100% safety is not guaranteed.

Featuring five different riding modes (Rain, Road, Sport, Track, and Rider), Optimized Cornering ABS, switchable Optimized Cornering Traction Control, and a quickshifter with Triumph Shift Assist as standard, the Speed ​​Triple is packed with advanced features designed to maximize performance and safety in all conditions.

All key information is instantly accessible through the 5-inch full-color TFT display interface, which is operated with an intuitive 5-way joystick and backlight switch. The standard My Triumph Connectivity system provides turn-by-turn navigation, phone and music control.

Fully adjustable cruise control is also available for extended journeys, and a new “Emergency Deceleration Warning” function rapidly flashes the brake lights to alert other road users during heavy braking or sudden deceleration.

Keyless operation of the ignition, steering lock, and fuel cap is also available. For added safety, wireless functionality can be disabled with a single button press.

Paul Stroud – Chief Commercial Officer, Triumph Motorcycles

“In 2024, we will celebrate 30 years of the Speed ​​Triple with owners, fans and collectors. When it did, the Speed ​​Triple ignited the birth of an entirely new category of naked sports bike. And today, with the new Speed ​​Triple 1200 RS, we are setting a new benchmark for triple-powered performance.

Riders will love the exhilarating acceleration and soul-stirring sound of this incredible triple engine, and how new technology gives them incredible levels of adjustability and control, allowing them to tailor the ride to their own style.

Of course, as is typical of Triumph, the handling is exquisite, and we have raised the bar on quality and detail in every aspect of the design.”
