2015 Triumph Trophy SE Review

2015 Triumph Trophy SE on www.Totalmotorcycle.com

You know the feeling when you just want to keep riding and riding and riding?

Eating long distances in supreme comfort is what the Trophy does best. Added to that is its amazing ability to transform into a motorcycle that is equally happy to tackle the twisty roads. With the Trophy SE we took the already extensively equipped Trophy and upgraded it with electronic suspension and added a host of features including a high quality sound system with Bluetooth® and iPod connectivity.

The result is the ultimate in touring bike luxury, with the most comprehensive levels of equipment ever seen on any Triumph. All paired up with the sharpest, best handling chassis in the class and a muscular, torque laden 1215cc engine steeped in three-cylinder character.

In addition to the Electronic Suspension and Bluetooth® audio system, the Trophy SE adds our TPMS Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, a USB port, and an additional 12v power socket.

Our engineers have had the same feeling, and it shows. Because our range of touring motorbikes have been built to cross continents with a ride that’s as engaging as it is comfortable.

2015 Triumph Trophy SE www.Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

Engine
Performance

The beating heart of the machine, this spirited engine delivers excitement on demand; no need to wait for the revs to rise or be forced to kick down a gear at the wrong time. You’ll feel it and you’ll hear it as the infamous Triumph Triple delivers it inimitable, spine tingling sound.

The 134PS, 1215cc three-cylinder engine pumps out 120Nm of torque , which spreads the power throughout the rev range giving you effortless acceleration and smooth cruising. The ride-by-wire throttle system makes sure that you get exactly the torque you want and expect with precision and smoothness – important in a bike designed for long distances.
Fuel Efficiency

Spending more time on the road and less time at the petrol station is important to any rider. The Trophy’s efficient engine and tall 6th gear provides relaxed cruising and impressive economy with 69.2mpg at 56mph, and 54.5mpg at 75mph. The tank is a capacious 26 litres allowing well over 250 miles between refills.
Shaft Drive

The Trophy SE features a low maintenance shaft drive for trouble free touring.
Torsional Damping System

We’ve even included a torsional damping system to transfer power from the gearbox to the shaft through a sprung bevel gear, and a metalastic universal joint for an exceptionally refined power train.

 

Chassis
Frame

Hidden beneath the sleek, protective bodywork is a rugged, stiff but light aluminium beam frame, capable not just of carrying heavy loads but enabling very precise and agile handling too. The enormous 239KG payload makes light work of heavy loads.
Triumph Electronic Suspension

Electronic suspension on the SE gives you the plush ride you’d expect from a luxury touring bike. Using the left handlebar switches and intuitive dash menu system you can alter the damping front and rear and the rear spring preload to cope with the full range of loads from unladen solo to full luggage and two-up, as well as adjusting for riding style from comfort to sport.
Handling

With its exceptional wheel control you can take full advantage of the outstanding agility. It’s very comfortable, of course, but it also handles like no other touring bike to make twisty back roads satisfying and fun.
Riding Position

We focussed on long distance comfort for you and your passenger so handlebars and footrests are positioned for an upright and very spacious riding position, front and rear.
Adjustable Seat Height

We made the seat on the Trophy SE as supportive as possible. It’s been very carefully shaped for many continuous hours on the road and it’s easily height adjustable between 800mm and 820mm.

 

Equipment and Technology
Audio System

The Bluetooth® audio system on the Trophy SE comprises a pair of 20W speakers and features digital signal processing and 3-band equalisation, while automatic volume control adjusts for the bike’s speed so you and your passenger will be surrounded with the sound of your choice, from the bike’s radio or via the Bluetooth or iPod connectivity from a phone or MP3.

There is a USB port and MP3 player support as well as iPod and iPhone compatibility. An auxiliary input allows a portable sat nav unit to play through the audio system, and the Bluetooth 2.1+EDR gives output to two compatible headsets.
Electrically Adjustable Screen

The Trophy’s screen rises by 16.4cm from its lowest position to provide protection for all sizes of rider. It actually remembers its last position so when you start the bike, you don’t have to waste time readjusting it. Even the mirrors and foot positions have been intelligently designed to protect your hands and feet, keeping them dry and comfortable.
Linked ABS Brakes

4-piston/4-pad front calipers are fitted to the Trophy with intelligent linked ABS brakes as standard that provide the most safe and well balanced stopping even in an emergency.
Traction Control

The traction control system compares the speeds of the front and rear wheels to prevent excessive wheel spin in slippery conditions.
Cruise Control

Electronic cruise control comes as standard, made possible by the ride-by-wire throttle system. With this switched on it takes over from you to maintain a steady speed regardless of terrain.
Instruments and Computer

You get everything you could wish for on the dash of the Trophy SE. A comprehensive on-board computer with fuel economy and range readings, average speed as well as two trips, ambient temperature and full menu control of the many functions on the bike, including options like the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, heated grips and heated seats.
Controls

We put all the controls for the dash menu and most of the accessories on the handlebar switch pods. So you don’t need to move your hand from the bars while riding.
Dynamic Luggage System

However much luggage you take with you, it will feel as if you’re travelling light. Triumph’s dynamic luggage system allows a small amount of independent movement which increases stability and doesn’t compromise the chassis’ dynamic performance.

In fixed luggage systems, large loads cause small movements and vibrations in the chassis – these can actually de-stabilise the bike and cause weaving. The Trophy’s system prevents this, keeping the bike stable. This makes the ride much more comfortable for riders and passengers.
TPMS

Tyre pressure can dramatically alter handling of any bike and the Trophy is no different. Standard on the Trophy SE, our Tyre Pressure Monitoring System will let you know any change in pressure as you ride, before it becomes an issue.
Electronic Headlamp Adjustment

The electronic headlamp adjustment makes changing position easy based on your riding requirements. 2-up and fully laden, a simple switch will adjust your lights to suit the conditions.
Immobiliser

We added a coded key immobiliser system in case your Trophy SE attracts the wrong kind of attention. It disables the ignition if an attempt is made to turn or force the ignition switch without the presence of the electronically coded correct key.
Fairing Storage

The fairing storage compartment on the Trophy SE locks automatically and features a charging point for mobile phones and other electrical items inside. And there’s another power socket for electrical items such as heated clothing or a GPS unit.
