Price Released on Ultimate Roadster
Speed Triple R: our ultimate roadster for just £11,299 OTR
Packed with race track technology that would cost around twice as much if purchased as individual off-the-shelf upgrades, the new Speed Triple R represents excellent value for money to sports riders looking for a standout sports bike that offers even sharper handling and greater control than the critically-acclaimed standard model.
Triumph has worked in partnership with Swedish suspension masters Ohlins, suppliers to the entire MotoGP grid, to develop bespoke versions of its track-derived NIX30 front fork and TTX36 rear shock. These units, specially calibrated for the Speed Triple R offer the ultimate in suspension and performance, giving excellent handling and maximum adjustability for expert riders.
To give the lightest and most precise handling, Triumph has employed lightweight forged aluminium wheels for its flagship roadster, shaving over 2kg from the unsprung weight. For braking, Triumph has turned to another MotoGP specialist, Brembo, to supply its top-of-the-range monobloc calipers. Combined with the special wheels, these calipers deliver 5% more performance than the standard model. The Speed Triple R's sporting theme continues with a host of carbon fibre parts and racy new graphics with sporty red highlights on the wheels, brake calipers and radiator cowls, ensuring this is one bike that really stands out.
The Speed Triple is now commonly accepted as one of Triumph's most important and iconic machines. The Speed R, the next in the evolution, takes the standard model as a base to produce the most advanced version yet. It is a top-of-the-range model packed with the best components available, representing excellent value for money for discerning motorcyclists looking for that something special from their bike.
Quality doesn't come cheap, but when you consider the componentry that comes standard on the Speed Triple R we don't think that there is much to compare to this new bike.
The 2012 Triumph Speed Triple R will go on sale in February priced £11,299 OTR. For more information come on in store, or click here.
