Triumph continues to churn out teasers for upcoming models, first showing us the half-fairing Triumph Speed Triple RR, then the street-focused Triumph Tiger Sport 660, and now the Triumph Tiger 1200.
Appearing to be an all-new model, the British marque is making big boasts about a reduced weight figure on the chassis, and added horsepower from the 1,200cc three-cylinder engine.
Triumph is not being bashful about its upcoming new models, teasing today what will be the 2022 Triumph Tiger Sport 660 adventure bike.
The new Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS is just hitting dealerships now, but it would seem that the British brand isn’t done with its streetfighter lineup.
Teasing what the folks at Hinckley are calling the Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR, we will see the new model arriving in September of this year.
Episode 70 of the Brap Talk motorcycle podcast is out with another “weekly” episode, for your two-wheeled listening pleasure.
In this episode, we tackle a slew of motorcycle-related topics, and some topics that aren’t so motorcycle related.
We were expecting Triumph to debut a line of dirt bikes today, after teasing on social media the involvement of Motocross legend Ricky Carmichael and five-time Enduro World Champion Iván Cervantes.
But instead, we realize now that we got a tease of a teaser, with the British brand simply announcing that work is underway to bring motocross and enduro dirt bikes to Triumph’s lineup. That’s a bit of a disappointment…
Triumph is teasing a big announcement for tomorrow, and if the signals from the British brand are to be believed, then the company is poised to enter the dirt segment.
Our clues for this are social media posts showing American motocross champion Ricky Carmichael and Spanish enduro champion Ivan Cervantes in Triumph attire, announcing the date of the pending announcement.
If one is reading the tea leaves correctly with these rider picks, then Triumph is set to debut both a motocross an enduro series of dirt bikes.
Two years ago, Triumph set out in a partnership with Williams Advanced Engineering, Integral Powertrain Ltd.’s e-Drive Division, and WMG at the University of Warwick to develop an electric motorcycle.
The group is funded from theUK government’s Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and the Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) via Innovate UK, and today they have reached “Phase 2” of their four-phase development process.
Effectively, this means Triumph et al have developed an electric drivetrain package for a motorcycle, and to make this a little sexier, they are sharing their design sketches for the prototype bike that they plan to build in Phase 3 of the project.
After teasing some details, and seeing some others leak ahead of today’s debut, we finally get to officially see the all-new Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS.
The original streetfighter, the Triumph Speed Triple is the OG standard when it comes to the naked sport bikes segment, but the British brand has seen this iconic model soften in recent years when compared to the competition.
In fact, our review of the last generation of the Triumph Speed Triple demoted the three-cylinder machine to the “roadster” category, as its teeth had clearly lost their edge over the years, leading it to become a more subdued ride for the street.
The folks in Hinckley must have taken exception to that kind of comparison because their response for the 2021 model year was to build an all-new Speed Triple with a serious focus on performance.
Episode 182 of the Paddock Pass Podcast is out, and this one is a break from our usual grand prix coverage, as we dive into the intermediate class, the Moto2 Championship.
On the mics, we have Neil Morrison, Steve English, and Adam Wheeler to talk about all the Moto2 happenings leading into the 2021 season, and they are joined in an interview with Triumph’s Chief Product Officer Steve Sargent.
A purported leaked spec sheet of the 2021 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS has hit the internet (we first spotted it on Belgian site MaxxMoto), and it shows the venerable streetfighter making a whopping 178hp (132.4 kW).
The document would seem to have an extra layer of authenticity as well, as it shows the side profile of the new Speed Triple, and that photo depicts the bike departing significantly from the previous generation of the machine (shown at the bottom of this post).
Episode 50 of the Brap Talk motorcycle podcast is back with another weekly episode, for your two-wheeled listening pleasure.
In this one, we look at a bevy of announcements for new and updated motorcycle models, as several manufacturers have held onto some new bike releases for the new year.
