Overview The Speed Triple, with its mix of a monstrously powerful three-cylinder engine, top quality chassis and an aggressive, stripped down stance, enters its fourteenth year as part of Triumph’s Urban Sports range. This year it brings with it a host of styling refinements including, a redesigned radiator, brand new rear sub-frame, new LED rear light, Brembo radial front calipers, black anodised front forks and new tapered anodised aluminium handlebars. Harder than ever, the Speed Triple retains its status as the definitive factory streetfighter. The 2008 Speed Triple will be available from March 2008.
Engine The Speed Triple’s 1050cc, three cylinder engine, with its unmistakable character and sound, pumps out a great surge of bottom-end torque, massive mid-range punch and an impressive level of overall power. Peak power is 132PS (131bhp) at 9250rpm while peak torque of 105Nm (77ft.lbf) arrives at 7550rpm. Triumph’s Keihin ECU offers sophisticated mapping for quicker starting, cleaner running and fuel economic engine
Wheels Multi-spoke alloy wheels add to the Speed Triple’s streetfighter attitude.
Suspension The fully adjustable 43mm upside down forks and rear monoshock add superb levels of quality and control, while the new black anodised finished to the front forks amplify the Speed Triple’s rebellious look.
Brakes High-spec, twin Brembo radial front caliper four pad, four piston units, with a radial master cylinder, supply outstanding braking performance.
Rear end The Speed Triple’s rear-end has sharp, minimalist styling and features a new rear sub-frame, polished stainless steel heat shields and repositioned ball burnished aluminium pillion footrests to give the pillion rider more leg room. It also sports a new, clear-lens LED rear light.
Handlebars Magura tapered, anodised aluminium handlebars are a sharp addition to the Street Triple’s minimalist styling.
