Triumph Speed ​​Triple 1200 RS 2025, now with electronic suspension

The Triumph Speed ​​Triple 1200 RS has been renewed with the arrival of Euro5+ at the same time as the rest of the range, but in the case of this naked, the star of the brand, it has gone beyond a few simple adjustments, creating a more powerful and equipped motorcycle.

To start with, its engine has gained performance to reach 183 hp, three more than the previous version, an increase that extends to the torque, which reaches 128 Nm compared to the previous 125 Nm. The truth is that the brand's experience as a supplier of engines for the Moto2 World Championship has served to make an important adjustment to the engine, which has been redefined.

The 2025 version is smoother and has a better response, something that has been achieved by working on the internal flows. The new strategy applied to the engine tuning provides a much smoother and more refined response, which has also been helped by changes applied to the crankshaft, connecting rods and balance shaft.

Smart suspensions... Another important novelty is the arrival of an Öhlins suspension system with its Smart EC3 electronic adjustment system, a new version that continues to act on traditional regulators and allows you to configure 7 different suspension parameters at will and individually: front and rear spring preload, hydraulic braking, acceleration, cornering, initial acceleration phase and when the bike is at cruising speed, with the new “Öhlins Objective Based Tuning Interface” (OBTi) system.

It also has an adjustable steering damper. Electronic assistance has improved with improved and adjustable lift control, engine braking, rear slip control when braking, and five engine management modes, as well as ABS and cornering traction control.

More changes...It includes a 5” TFT screen with My Triumph connectivity, Brembo Stylema front calipers with radial pump, and is fitted with Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3 tyres as standard. Ergonomically, it has a wider handlebar and a new tail and seat. The weight is 199 kg full of petrol.

It should be noted that the RS will be the only version of the Speed ​​Triple, as the RR with half fairing and clip-on handlebars will have disappeared in 2025.
