Triumph Speed Triple RX Teased Ahead Of Global Debut
Triumph Motorcycles has recently teased a new variant of Speed Triple 1200 RS on its social media handles. Now, the Speed Triple 1200 RS is a proper litre-class naked roadster all by itself, but the new variant, likely to be called 'RX', could be even sportier, with added features, revised ergonomics and possibly few tweaks to the engine and the output. The Speed Triple 1200 RS, owing to its size and power, hasn't been a success in India, with its sibling, the Street Triple 765 RS being more popular.

The short teaser shows glimpses of the new motorcycle, wearing a neon green shade, with the letters 'RX' on the fuel tank. Triumph enthusiasts would remember that the company launched a Street Triple RX about a decade ago and now the 'RX' brand is likely to be resurrected. What is also evident in the teaser is that the rider ergonomics is has been tweaked a bit. You can see the clip-on handlebar and slightly rear set footpegs, hinting at a racier seating position. Now, spy shots of the Speed Triple 1200 RS also revealed that the motorcycle gets semi-active electronic suspension. Expect the new model to get fatter rubber and new rims, as seen on the test mule.
The current Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS gets a 1,160 cc in-line triple cylinder engine, which makes 180.5 hp at 10,750 rpm with peak torque output of 128 Nm at 8,750 rpm. The engine is paired to a 6-speed gearbox with a bi-directional quick-shifter. Now, the motorcycle will be revealed for global markets on May 13, 2025 but it is unlikely that the Speed Triple RX will be launched in India.

Mind the gap: Cop focus on safe distance between vehicles
Kolkata: The Kolkata Traffic Police launched a comprehensive awareness campaign titled 'Mind the Gap' on Friday, focusing on the growing menace of tailgating, which has led to multiple freak road accidents and even road rage incidents across the city in recent months. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Tailgating is driving too closely behind another vehicle. The initiative, which combines both digital and on-ground efforts, aims to educate drivers about maintaining safe distances between vehicles. "We observed a concerning rise in road incidents linked to tailgating. In the past three months alone, we received dozens of complaints where tailgating was the primary cause," said a senior officer. The campaign will utilise social media platforms, including Facebook, X, and Instagram, to disseminate educational content and safety guidelines. Additionally, traffic officers plan to conduct awareness sessions at major intersections across the city. According to police data, tailgating-related incidents increase during peak hours on major arterial roads like EM Bypass and AJC Bose Road. The campaign introduces the "three-second" rule — maintaining a minimum three-second gap between vehicles — as a standard safety measure. Digital displays at key traffic signals will demonstrate proper distances to be maintained between vehicles and showcase real-time examples of safe driving practices. "We are not incorporating a penalty right now and clubbing it with an MV Act offence. We expect better driver behaviour at the crossings and even during parking," said an ACP. Cops also plan to partner with several driving schools and automotive associations to extend the campaign's reach. Commuter Sumit Banerjee hailed the initiative. "I have experienced aggressive tailgating numerous times. It is dangerous. The two-wheeler riders are the worst offenders." Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Cops will monitor the campaign's effectiveness through CCTV footage. It will run for an initial period of a few weeks, after which the police will evaluate its success and consider extending it based on the results achieved. For more information about the campaign, citizens can visit the Kolkata Traffic Police website or call their helpline at 1073.
