Seeking an exhilarating joy ride from the most iconic British Motorcycle brand? EQ can speak from experience when we say look no further than Triumph Motorcycles’ Speed Triple 1200 RR.
We drove Triumph‘s Red Hopper Storm Grey model, which simultaneously boasted unbeatable curb appeal and uncompromising performance.
This sport bike for the road promises impressive performance, controlled handling, and unhesitating speed. With its three-cylinder 1160 CC low-inertia engine, the Speed Triple RR provides 177hp of peak power and 92 lb-ft of torque. The engine’s raucous, signature symphony is as thrilling as it is thunderous, promising an addictively rip-roaring ride.
Thanks to the motorcycle’s premium specification suspension, brakes, and tires, the ride can stop nearly as fast as it can begin. Also aiding in both handling and agility are the Triple RR’s high-performance Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3 tires, lightweight aluminum chassis, and optimized cornering and cornering traction control. All of these elements grant the Speed Triple RR dominance on both the road and race track.
With the bike’s rider-focused ergonomics – including clip-on handlebars and a new craft cockpit fairing set-up – the Triple RR provides a user-friendly experience. Drivers can choose between five different driving modes – Rain, Road, Sport, Track, and Rider Configurable – to design their ultimate ride.
However, getting your cards on the swift Speed Triple RR will cost you a pretty penny – from $20,950.00, to be exact.
