2016 Triumph Speed Triple Indian Debut at Auto Expo?

Along with its exciting 2016 range of classic motorcycles, Triumph is expected to bring its new Speed Triple R and S models at the upcoming Auto Expo. Both the models have been released in a few other countries and they are much advanced than their predecessors.



If we talk about the styling of 2016 Triumph Speed Triple and the existing version look almost identical. However, this new model has lots of visual changes including new single-sided swingarm, redesigned twin headlamps, under-seat exhausts, handlebar risers and clamps, rear wheel finisher, new flyscreen with air intake scoop, bar-end mirrors and much more. The R model also features carbon fibre mudguard and tank infill panels for high-performance styling.



The 1050cc, liquid-cooled, inline triple-cylinder engine of the new Speed Triple incorporates 104 new developments including new cylinder head design, combustion chamber, crankshaft, ECU, ride-by-wire throttle bodies, fuel delivery system, slip-assist clutch, airbox etc. that provide a more aggressive performance to the bike.

Other key features of the New Triumph Speed Triple are:

• Twin Spar tubular aluminium frame
• Dual 320mm front disc brakes with Brembo monoblock calipers
• Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa Tyres
• Preload, compression and rebound damping- adjustable 43mm USD front forks and rear monoshock from Showa in S model
• Higher specification, fully adjustable 43mm Öhlins NIX30 USD front forks and Öhlins TTX36 twin tube rear monoshock in R model
• Narrower engine/radiator package giving 20mm narrower stand-over
• Improved peak power and torque spread across entire rev range
• Ride-by-Wire throttle
• 5 Rider Modes including a Track Mode
• Rider-selectable ABS
• Rider-selectable traction control linked to Rider Modes
• Four NEW colors- Phantom Black and Diablo Red on the Speed Triple S, Crystal White and Matt Graphite on the Speed Triple R

So, the 2016 Speed Triple is ready to set some new benchmarks in the litre-class naked sport segment and we can expect the motorcycle to roll out in the Indian Market by Mid 2016.
