2017 Triumph Speed Triple S ABS Phantom Black

2017 Triumph Speed Triple S ABS Phantom Black

In 1994 we launched a bike that ignited a segment, defined a category and gave birth to the term Streetfighter. Over the past 21 years it has evolved but stayed true to its roots through its brooding minimalist stance encasing a thrilling Triumph Triple engine delivering a perfect balance of POWER, PRECISION, CHARACTER AND PERFORMANCE.

So how to make the new generation even better… with eye catching lines, billet machined components, stick-to-the-road Öhlins suspension on the R , incredible stopping performance from Brembo Monobloc brakes… add to that cutting-edge rider-aid technology combined with fistfuls of torque and real world power from the all-new 1050cc Triple engine, tuned for ultimate performance…we believe that’s how.

Our all new 1050cc triple engine incorporates 104 new developments that deliver More Power, More Torque and More Responsiveness, where the merest twist of the ride by wire throttle delivers an instantaneous wave of torque and a truly heart thumping surge of acceleration.

New ride by wire throttle bodies, new ECU, new cylinder head design, new combustion chamber, new header design, new fuel delivery system, new slip assist clutch, new crankshaft, new airbox… equals an all-new engine with a smaller, narrower profile and delivering the ultimate road riding experience. A guaranteed thrill for anyone who rides it.

A wall of pure linear torque and real world riding power is in your grasp and the Speed Triple’s new engine is tuned to deliver more than ever. When you wind on the power the all new free flowing under seat exhaust system unleashes the rich characterful roar unique to a Triumph triple engine… for all around you to hear.

The three-cylinder all new 1050cc engine in the Speed Triple delivers the ultimate real world riding experience. The delivery of the acres of full range torque is controlled by you. For the first time, five selectable riding modes have been added that allow you to select how the power is delivered in conjunction with the very latest rider focused technology that includes: throttle mapping, traction control and ABS. The modes include: Rain, Road, Sport, a map that is configurable by you and a fifth, Track mode for well…the Track.

The all new under seat exhaust system is not just a thing of beauty, it is lighter than its predecessor, 70% freer-flowing and tuned to unleash the rich characterful roar unique to a Triumph triple engine.

The new Triumph Speed Triple has agility, stability and engagement at the heart of its handling characteristics. With its dynamic and refined ride balanced by a bold, aggressive attitude you will find yourself looking for excuses to take the long way home for maximum fun and maximum thrills.

The new Speed Triple S has preload, compression and rebound damping-adjustable 43mm upside-down Showa forks and Showa monoshock rear suspension unit, utilising factory honed settings. The Speed Triple R uses 43mm Öhlins NIX30 upside down forks and Öhlins TTX36 twin tube rear monoshock both fully adjustable for preload, compression and rebound damping. This all means it sticks to the road when the throttle is open and the bends are calling.
