2011 Triumph Speed Triple

The icon. Redefined.

Speed Triple. Real world performance for riders who know. The definitive streetfighter. The benchmark. The best. In a word. Legend.

New for 2011, Triumph has taken all that’s good about the Speed Triple and created an all new model. A new chapter in the legacy. All-new chassis is the sharpest tool in the box. And that 1050cc triple. Oh yes, the engine. And the look? Short. Stubby. Aggressive. Twin headlights. Single sided swingarm. Alloy bars. Pure Speed Triple. Improved.


Triumph Speed Triple

New for 2011 is the latest incarnation of Triumph’s most iconic model . the Speed Triple.
With an all-new chassis, the 1050cc 2011 Speed Triple delivers a new level of handling and composure to the super naked class. With a sharper and even more aggressive look, and more power from the legendary 1050cc triple, this new model looks set to add further to a legacy that has seen over 65,000 Speed Triples sold since its introduction in 1994.

The beautifully sculpted frame retains the traditional Speed Triple styling cues, such as the twin
over-engine spars and single-sided swingarm, but the geometry is all-new. Weight distribution has been improved by moving the engine forward in the frame and relocating the battery in front of the airbox, creating a Speed Triple that sets new standards in handling, stability and agility.

At 214kg fully fuelled, the 2011 Speed Triple is a whole 3kg lighter than the previous model. Front and rear wheels are each over one kilogram lighter, while the narrower frame and improved packaging
allows for increased ground clearance and makes the machine feel incredibly light and nimble.

The new 43mm forks offer excellent control and plushness and are fully-adjustable for preload,
rebound and compression damping on both legs, while Brembo radial caliper brakes grip 320mm
discs which are 0.5mm thinner than the outgoing Speed Triple for further reduction in unsprung
weight. ABS is an option for the first time on the Speed Triple.

All-new body panels and heavily sculpted seat accentuate the Speed Triplefs aggressive street
fighting stance and complement the newly-styled twin headlights. Colour-coded radiator cowls are a
new feature and sport new decals. Three colour options are available: Crystal White, Phantom Black
and Diablo Red, with colour-coded flyscreen, seat cowl and belly pan available as genuine
Triumph accessories.

Ergonomics have been improved and the 820mm seat height is lower than the previous Speed Triple.
The all-new riding position makes the Speed Triple more accessible and comfortable than before,
placing the rider further forward and inspiring much more confidence when carving through twisting
corners.

Triumph’s 1050cc triple is just about the only thing that carries over from the previous model, although
even that hasnft remained untouched. The already class-leading torque has been increased by 8%
to 111Nm at 7750rpm, with a 5PS increase in power to give the Speed Triple a mighty 135PS at
the top end. With Triumph’s latest generation ECU software and modified exhaust system, the new
Speed Triple delivers its raw power in a satisfyingly refined manner.

The 2011 Speed Triple features a high specification as standard, including fat alloy handlebars,
a coded-key immobiliser and an improved instrumentation which includes digital speedometer,
fuel gauge, trip computer, analogue tachometer, lap timer, programmable gear change lights and
service interval announcement display.

Triumph’s accessories division has also developed a full range of official accessories for the new
Speed Triple. Highlights include performance enhancing slip on silencers and a full three-into-one
elow boyf exhaust system developed in conjunction with Arrow Special Parts, while a tyre pressure
sensor kit is available for the first time on the Speed Triple.

A full range of soft luggage and gel comfort seats have also been developed to increase the practicality
of the Speed Triple.

The new Triumph Speed Triple is available from December 2010.
