The Speed Triple is back on the hunt. It is necessary, since the couillus roadsters no longer have anything to envy the hypersports, drawing cheerfully from the same bank of organs for engines, chassis and electronics. Triumph was fed up that his dark, enigmatic and shady roadster was no longer a feared chieftain. A lot of groundwork has been done on his Speed Triple, now called 100 S, to bring it up to date. Not enough to change his personality, but enough to offer the user much more.
A Speed 1050 can be recognized both near and far. This new version is not fundamentally different from the others. Except, and it will always be a subject of controversy, at the level of the headlights. His gaze evolves again, with an ovalization of the two optics. Could this be the first step towards a return to round headlights ?
The radiator scoops have been restyled, the mirrors have migrated to the ends of the handlebars; tank, rear section and double-stage saddle evolve subtly. The Speed is modernized without upsetting the established codes. We still appreciate its single-sided arm, its exhausts under the saddle (even if the fashion is past), its nervous and muscular profile, and the new little touches. What do you think of the Triumph logo embossed on the edge of the passenger seat or the tapered all-LED turn signals? Here, we lose the engine shoe; optional, or standard on the R.
Ah yes, something else has changed on the face of the Speed Triple. It’s an air intake right in the middle of the forehead. We need to breathe in the 3 cylinders ?!?
Not just a little. The English block of 1050 cm3 had to adapt to Euro4 standards and set out again in search of performance. The intake system, cylinder head, crankshaft, combustion chambers, piston design … In all, Hinckley made no less than 104 modifications to the mechanics of his favorite roadster. The result is noticeable, with power increased to 140 horsepower. Triumph claims to have worked the couple to give their best at low and medium revs. In addition, its 3-cylinder architecture allows it so particular roundness and availability that we will remain under the spell. Its technical modifications will be able to bring it more liveliness and an upward sportiness..
Along with 10% lower fuel consumption, a narrower radiator, limited-slip clutch and new exhausts allowing 70% more flow, the Speed Triple 100 S gets a Ride-by-Wire system, new ECU and choice. of 5 injection maps. Multiple ways to cover the road, depending on the mood, the terrain or the weather. The cards are distributed as follows: Road, Rain, Sport, Track and Rider. The latter is customizable by the user. The others select the most suitable values for traction control, ABS intervention and throttle response.
The Speed Triple renews its confidence in its tubular aluminum perimeter frame, taken from the old 955 Daytona. The fork is an inverted Showa 43mm and the shock comes from the same manufacturer; both are adjustable from anywhere. For the most demanding, the R version is adorned with Ohlins elements. Brembo braking comes from the R, beautiful radially mounted monobloc calipers on 320mm tracks.
The English streetfighter returns to the fight. Become 1050 Speed Triple 100 S, the rebel Triumph machine regains its superb to better assert itself in the middle of the Monster, Z, GSX-S and other big-hearted machines. The electronic assistance was invited in reinforcement to put the Speed at the level of the segment, the ABS and the traction control having taken care to be deactivable for the more sporty drivers. And then, the Speed has always had that little something that makes it a roadster apart.
