The most important change comes in the form of an all-new BS6-compliant 888cc inline-triple liquid-cooled engine, which makes the same power as before (95.1PS), but arrives 750rpm earlier at 8750rpm compared to the outgoing model. This offers 9 per cent more power in the mid-range, according to Triumph. Peak torque has increased from 79Nm at 8050rpm to 87Nm at 7250rpm. The engine features new internals and gets a new 1-3-2 firing order that gives it a throatier exhaust note. 

The motor’s 6-speed transmission comes with a slipper clutch as standard, however, Triumph also offers a bi-directional quick-shifter as part of the standard equipment on the Pro models.
