The Speed Twin 900 masterfully blends timeless design with modern engineering, offering a bike that is perfect for both weekend escapes and daily commutes. Its responsive power and dynamic handling deliver a ride that is always exciting, while the signature sound of the Bonneville Twin engine adds to the thrill.

With its low seat height and comfortable, upright riding position, the Speed Twin 900 inspires confidence in every rider, no matter the journey. Customization options let you reflect your own style, while the bike’s premium details and sleek look ensure you stand out wherever you go.

Triumph’s Speed Twin 900 is significantly updated for 2025, including a major styling refresh, a significantly upgraded chassis and extra technology.

Delivering a much more contemporary feel and effortless agility, the new Speed Twin 900 now has upside-down forks and matching sport-style mudguard and fork protectors at the front. At the rear a new fabricated aluminium swingarm and piggy-back rear suspension units are complemented by a narrower rear frame with a slimmer mudguard and compact tail-light.

These combine to deliver dynamic handling and a sportier style, while retaining the Speed Twin’s classically-inspired good looks and easy riding appeal. The timeless bench seat is now slimmer and shaped to support the rider more while cornering, while also providing greater legroom for a more spacious feel.

Powered by Triumph’s celebrated 900cc high-torque Bonneville twin engine, the Speed Twin 900 combines easy-going classic character with modern performance and efficiency, providing easily accessible torque, with 80 Nm available at 3,800rpm and an intoxicating sound.

Triumph’s Chief Product Officer Steve Sargent said: “This new Speed Twin 900 styling has evolved to be sleeker and more dynamic while still retaining the classic design cues that deliver that timeless style. The bike is more agile and easier to manouvre too, as we’ve made changes to the chassis and specification that all add up to make a big difference.

“From talking to our customers, we know that the enduring appeal of the Speed Twin 900 is also due to a premium specification, top-quality finish and great reliability, and a badge on the tank which owners are proud to own. Our ambition is as always, to deliver more of what riders appreciate.”

The Speed Twin 900 combines classic style with modern technology; making it perfect for unforgettable weekend escapes or maximum fun on city commutes. Agile handling, responsive performance, and a smooth, confident ride make every journey a thrill. With a low seat height and natural, upright riding position, it’s comfortable and easy ride. Plus, with a wide range of custom accessories, you can make it uniquely yours. It’s the perfect blend of timeless cool and modern performance.

The new Speed Twin 900 blends classic British style with modern minimalism, available in three striking contemporary paint schemes that are guaranteed to turn heads. A sculpted fuel tank and chiseled side panels create a sleek, sharp look, complemented by premium details like a brushed aluminum fuel cap and throttle body covers. Minimalist mudguards and a slim rear frame enhance its modern profile, while vintage-inspired elements including machined cooling fins contrast with black powder-coated engine casings for a look that’s as contemporary as it is timeless.

Underneath the classic looks of the Speed Twin 900 is a capable modern chassis that delivers a thrilling ride. The roomy and relaxed riding position comes with a low seat height of 30.70 inches (780mm), and the generously padded bench seat is shaped to firmly hold the rider in place as the pace increases, while still allowing movement on longer rides. There’s also an accessory low seat available which reduces the height by 0.78 inches (20mm) to just 29.92 inches (760mm) for greater peace of mind during low-speed maneuvers.

The chassis is set up for the perfect balance of comfort and control and equipped with high-specification components to make the most of any road and every ride. High quality Marzocchi upside down forks and twin rear suspension units are mounted to a strong and lightweight cast aluminum swingarm, delivering precisely controlled wheel travel for excellent ride quality on any road surface. A reassuringly powerful radial front brake caliper grips a large 320mm (12.5in) disc, and lightweight cast aluminum wheels are fitted with premium Michelin Road 5 tires, ensuring the Speed Twin 900 is ready for everything from sporty blasts to relaxed cruising.

The new Speed Twin 900’s flowing exhaust runs seamlessly from the stainless-steel headers to twin compact silencers with a matte black wrap and brushed stainless steel end caps. Every twist of the throttle unleashes an instant response and an evocative exhaust note. The High Torque Bonneville twin engine delivers 64 HP at 7,500 rpm and a satisfying surge of torque, producing 59 LB-FT at just 3,800 rpm. This strong mid-range power ensures every ride is exhilarating, whether you’re navigating city streets or hitting the open road.

A 4-piston radial front caliper and large 320mm (12.5in) brake disc deliver powerful, accurate braking performance for precise, controlled stopping power and maximum confidence. Coupled with Optimized Cornering ABS and traction control that tailor the electronic safety systems based on lean angle, the Speed Twin provides maximum stability and complete confidence, especially when tackling tight corners or tricky road surfaces.

A crisp, bright LCD instrument panel gives key rider information at a glance, like speed, engine rpm, and gear, while an integrated color TFT display provides a range of extra information. It’s also compatible with accessories like heated grips, plus the My Triumph Connectivity System, providing phone and music control, as well as turn-by-turn navigation via the My Triumph app. For charging devices on the move, there’s also a handy USB-C socket on the side of the display.

The use of powerful and efficient lighting ensures optimal visibility and adds a modern touch to the classic design. A bright light signature is incorporated into a slim headlight unit mounted on a minimalist bracket. At the rear, a discreet taillight complements the slim rear frame and provides excellent visibility without compromising the sleek profile.

Adapt your ride with two riding modes: Road and Rain. These modes tailor the performance to match the riding conditions, delivering optimal throttle response for everyday riding and a softer, controlled response for wet or slippery surfaces. Whether you’re cruising city streets or navigating through a downpour, the sensitively incorporated technology on the Speed Twin 900 ensures a smooth and enjoyable ride.

EFFORTLESSLY COOL DESIGN
The new, sportier fuel tank is deeply sculpted, with chiseled side panels and stylized throttle body covers, introducing more purposeful, dynamic lines. The engine casings are leaner, the silencer shorter and the headlight unit more compact.

The detailing on the Bonneville engine is as authentic and beautiful as ever too, and the bright machined cooling fins on the cylinder head and finned header clamps are joined by black-wrapped stainless steel exhaust headers, shorter, upswept silencers and polished end caps. This look extends to details across the bike, including a new aluminium flip-up filler cap on the tank, and a simpler design for the heel guards and footpegs.

The new Speed Twin 900 has three distinctive colour options. Riders can choose between a sporty Pure White scheme with bright blue and orange stripes on the tank, a moody Phantom Black tank, with dark grey stripes and gold accents, or a classy Aluminium Silver design with a splash of red framing the Triumph logo.

EASY AGILE RIDE
The Speed Twin 900’s capable modern chassis delivers a fun, supple and confidence-inspiring ride. High quality Marzocchi upside-down front forks, paired to twin Marzocchi piggy-back rear suspension units with preload adjustment ensures responsive handling.

The slightly reduced rear wheel travel (from 120mm to 110mm) improves control without sacrificing comfort.

The new wheels are fitted with Michelin Road Classic tyres and coupled with a powerful and progressive Triumph branded four-piston radial caliper, mounted to a larger 320mm front disc, helping make the Speed Twin 900 brake and change direction even more keenly.

CHARACTERFUL BONNEVILLE TWIN
The characterful 900cc Bonneville twin ensures that responsive performance is always accessible, with peak power of 65 PS at 7,500rpm, and lots of torque across the rev range; with 80 Nm available at just 3,800rpm. That performance is delivered with the efficiency and precision of a fully ride-by-wire system.

CONFIDENCE INSPIRING TECHNOLOGY
The aim was to deliver more functionality while preserving that clean, heritage-inspired design and pure riding experience. Helping to tailor that torque-laden power delivery are two riding modes, ‘Road’ and ‘Rain’, with the latter delivering a softer throttle response for a more secure feeling when riding in the wet. Both systems are now lean-sensitive – with Optimised Cornering ABS and Traction Control fitted as standard.

PREMIUM SPECIFICATION

Cruise Control is now also available as an accessory, providing Speed Twin riders with greater comfort and convenience, particularly on longer rides.  A USB-C socket is mounted on the side of the unit too, providing convenient charging mobile devices.

With its minimalist single dial design, these new instruments help to maintain the sleek style of the Speed Twin 900 while making more riding information available, in a way that’s clear and easy to read.

Riders can easily convert the bike back to full power as they upgrade their licence, allowing the new Speed Twin 900 to grow with their experience.
