Speed Triple R ABS
The purest, hardest performing and most rewarding naked sports motorcycle available today. We took the Speed Triple, the world's first and best factory streetfighter with its head-turning, angry style and its 135 PS 3-cylinder engine. Then added the best components the motorcycle industry can offer, from Öhlins, Pirelli and Brembo. A variety of exquisitely designed accessories complete the R transformation—flyscreen, bellypan and seat cowl, while the Diablo Red radiator shrouds further boast of the R's pedigree.
The result is the Speed Triple R, cutting edge real world performance to thrill the most committed rider. Based on the already high performing and agile Speed Triple, the R gives you sharper steering and even better feedback for the most intense, tactile and satisfying ride from any Triumph ever made.
The Speed Triple never tried to hide what it was, a cutting edge sports bike with performance honed for the street—but the R screams it.

Chassis
-
All from a road-going motorcycle that you can use in heavy traffic, slow speed town riding and occasional long distance trips.
-
It's a forward biased stance essential for keeping weight over the front of the bike, so you can feel feeling exactly what the forks and tire are doing and explore cornering limits, shifting weight to keep the front end in contact with the ground.
-
The Speed Triple R is pure sports bike with a real world edge. So we designed the riding position for accurate control and aggressive performance in everyday riding situations. We set the bars low, the footrests in a rear set position and the seat is deeply shaped to keep you in position during hard use but still allows you to slide off the sides of the bike.

Riding Position:
-
The swingarm is aluminum and features an eccentric chain adjuster so that the rear wheel stays perfectly in line with the front for a focused, precise handling.

Swingarm:
-
We fitted lightweight cast aluminum wheels and a wide 6 inch rim on the back to take the grippiest, sports-focused rubber the Speed Triple R deserves.
-
Wheels and Tires:
-
The optional electronic ABS makes 100 calculations per second to prevent wheel lock up at either end.
-
We’ve added Brembo monobloc calipers to the R for 5 percent more stopping power than the standard Speed Triple's Brembos. And their 1-piece construction helps reduce distortion at extreme pressures for more accurate feedback.

Brakes:
-
The frame is the same doubled-tube, twin spar design recognizable from the 1997 model. Although the current version was updated in 2011, so it now uses the engine as a crucial frame component, making the chassis stiffer and lighter for a more focused ride.

Configuration:
-
With 135 PS maximum there’s enough high-end performance to satisfy you on a serious track day. Then there’s the Speed Triple R’s 111 Nm of peak torque, with lots more thrust on tap lower down the rev range no matter what the gear and a seemingly endless flow of power that's predictable and easy to use.
-
The engine is the same muscle-packed 1,050 cc triple that powers the Speed Triple. And it delivers a huge punch. But every real rider knows, the key to its real world performance is the broad spread of torque and instant throttle response.
