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 Triple's 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 hasn't
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.
