• 2005 Triumph Speed Triple

To become a true icon is no easy feat. But from its very first incarnation over a decade ago the Speed Triple assumed just that status, mixing a primal three-cylinder core with sporting ability and an aggressive, stripped-down stance. Some things are just right and meant to be. The Speed Triple has always been one of those things.

And the icon's been reborn. A brand new 1050cc, three-cylinder, fuel-injected engine gives great welts of bottom-end torque, massive mid-range punch and impressive levels of power. Yet this is no mere steriod injection. The motor's been refined with a new slick-shifting gearbox and clutch, yet the gnarly character of the in-line triple, that's proven so addictive to legions of Speed Triple devotees, remains fully intact.

Containing this powerhouse is a completely new chassis. A rigid aluminium frame, fully adjustable upside-down forks and remote reservoir rear shock, radial four-piston brake calipers, five-spoke wheels and an evocative single-sided swingarm give cutting edge precision, while the Speed Triple's brutal style is inspired by the short, cut-down look so popular on the streets of southern Europe.

Stronger. Smoother. Sharper. The Speed Triple legend continues.

The word on the street is Triumph. And the sound that beats their arrival is a special and throaty roar. Sexy, head-turning looks are matched by exhilarating performance and precise handling.
