Novelty: General overhauled cult

The first model of the new year enters the heavily revised triumph Speed Triple the 2011er catwalk. The first drive impression: The British have polished their bestselling gem on high gloss.

With 11 845 euros, the new is only minimal more expensive than the predecessor, but has for the first time via ABS. As soon as the KOlner Messe Intermot closed its doors, the British of Triumph has its most important model already from the stack: With 65,000 units sold since its premiere in 1994, the Speed Triple is the best-selling triumph model of the younger brand history.

Founder of a new segment

At the time, the puristic styled Speed Triple justified the class of powerful unbridged land road athletes, today better known as "Naked Sportsbikes". At the same time, the publication of the Speed Triple was crucial for the success and the image of the brand. At that time she was a rebirth of the Cafe Racer with muteker and minimalist styling. But already with the first revision in 1997, her appearance changed: with pipe frame and the striking double headlights the original picture of all Speed Triples was.
He also tribes her current edition: stem as ever and ever the machine with her couped stump track seems to be started to start the viewer. Also the typical indicators such as intra-sleeved and which now no longer round double eyes are available, albeit newly drawn and modified. Today, the triumph from modern-acting polygonal headlamps is liable to cover the big cooler now plastic covers. The big whole is preserved. Some fan of the "old" Speedy will miss the edgy-British appearance.
In addition to the optics, the developers have adopted the meanwhile somewhat in the chassis. In their current version, the Speed Triple has a new frame, front-lasticized weight distribution and optimized ergonomics. The latter is noticeable after the sitting by optimizing driving control integration. Means in practice: you sitting deeper, gets better with the feet on the floor and has the almost straight handlebar all time good at hand.

Better handling

Especially the more active attitude demanding structure gives the machine a new handiness. On the private racetrack Ascari in the Oden Hinterland of Marbella, the Englishman puts a hitherto not known to the day. Through two dog-minded baffles, the Speed Triple Wieselflink is throwing through. Also, the transfer is easy despite the now mounted 190er rear tire. The Metzeler tires Type Racetec K3 Interact harmonize wonderfully with the once unruly beauty and pick up a lot of driving dynamics from the British powerhouse.
But also draws the iconic three-cylinder engine "1050er Triumph-Triple". He is a strong and torque-starier driver. The attention of the engine developer did not focus on PS protector, but on refinement. This increases the torque by eight percent to 111 nm at 7750 rpm. With 5 hp more, the new aggregate now provides powerful 99 kW / 135 hp top performance.
It also ensures an inimitable barking exhaust sound and tube-like suction snorkeling, which immediately releases luck hormones in motorcycle affairs. Between 4000 and 8500 revolutions lies a wide usable speed band, which makes hectic shift maneuver superfluous. That’s a good thing, because though the gear should have become supple, the gear change still does not pass butter soft.

Road road

After the test on the racetrack, the technicians return the spring elements from the race track trim to the factory setting. Now that that’s just over the asphalt band, Speed Triple on their very own area, show the winding highways around Ronda, what it can: All time trust awakening handiness brings there swift driving pleasure. On the partially bad ground impressed the whopping road. With British unmarrantity, she also causes worn road surveillance over the rounds, even thanks to brakes that react very reliably.
Due to the successful chassis modernization, the annoying positioning torque is fixed during braking in a slot on which the previous speed triple still cranked. Unfortunately, the stress expected ABS versions were not ready for test drive, they only run from the band.

Conclusion

With the new Speed Triple, Triumph has successfully overhauled his preliminary model, especially their driving-active species can convince. In Germany, the first "ABS loose" specimens are expected in November. Your price of 11 245 euros is fortunately under that of the predecessor. At the latest in December, the first ABS models for 11 845 euros should be available.

  1. Very ugly
    Just because it is new, it does not have to be better. The headlights are so ugly, that’s not. Would rather grab to a Street Triple R, the Speedy is too easy on the front wheel.
