Limited Edition Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RX Breaks Cover
Triumph Motorcycles has unveiled a new limited edition Speed Triple 1200 RX for 2026. This version has sporty additions over the Speed Triple 1200 RS and is good enough to be called "the ultimate incarnation of the Speed Triple." Furthermore, it offers a more aggressive style and riding position with enhancements in the specification. To add to its uniqueness, the bike will be produced in a limited run of 1200 units for the global market. As mentioned earlier, the Speed Triple 1200 RS doesn't offer an upright riding posture, instead, it bends into shape to handle better specs. The footpegs are set further back, while the clip-on handlebars are no lower and demand your hand to be further forward. Additionally, the seat also comes in a different shape. Apart from that, the bike is adorned in Triumph Performance Yellow colour scheme and gets an Akrapovic silencer. Also Read: At its core, the Speed Triple 1200 RS continues to have a 1,160 cc inline-three cylinder engine. Triumph claims that it is tuned to put out 180 hp of power at 10,750 rpm and 127 Nm of torque while revving at 8,750 rpm. The power is transferred to the wheel via a 6-speed gearbox with a bi-directional quickshifter. The suspension setup consists of the Ohlins SmartEC3 electronic semi-active suspension retained from the RS model, and the Ohlins SD EC electronic steering damper. The braking setup consists of the same dual Brembo Stylema monoblock calipers and MCS radial master cylinder, and a cornering antilock braking system. The pack of rider aid features includes cornering traction control, front wheel lift control, engine braking control, cruise control, and five riding modes: Rain, Road, Sport, Track, and Rider. In Track Mode, the rider has access to rake slide assist, which tunes the ABS to allow more front wheel slip and rear wheel lift.

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. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Triumph Motorcycles (@officialtriumph) 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. Sypshot Source: MCN
