Stunning and uncompromising, the all-new Speed Twin 1200 RS signals its sporting intent with its nose-down attitude, top-specification suspension components, beautifully finished in gold and a premium suede material for the seat.
The benchmark modern classic sports icon. Now with upgraded chassis components and a more responsive, more powerful engine for the ultimate in character and performance.
The all-new RS model takes the Speed Twin 1200’s unique blend of classic character and contemporary capability and adds top-specification chassis components and cutting-edge performance-enhancing technology to the more focused riding position to deliver a modern classic with even sharper responses.
When it comes to having fun in the twisties, the RS is a class apart with thoroughly modern handling. The ‘nose down’ attitude, with lower handlebars placed further forwards and higher, rear-set footpegs, pushes weight over the front and sets you up to fully exploit the sporty geometry.
Thrilling sports performance comes courtesy of the legendary Bonneville Twin. Boasting the latest technology, yet full of classic character, this 1,200 cc engine packs 105 PS peak power at 7,750 rpm, with instant response thanks to its rich torque delivery peaking at 112 Nm at 4,250 rpm. And with a deep and distinctive Bonneville soundtrack from the twin ‘megaphone’ silencers, it comes along with an unmistakable sound.
Lightning fast, seamless up and down gear changes can be executed without pulling the clutch lever – the Speed Twin 1200 RS is the first Bonneville Twin to be fitted with Triumph Shift Assist.
The neat single instrument dial features two displays. A large LCD screen shows all key riding information, with speed, engine revs, gear indicator and fuel level, all clearly visible at a glance in all lighting conditions.
From customising the look, tailoring the comfort or adding protection and practicality, there’s an extensive range of genuine accessories available, and the Triumph Online Configurator makes it easy to create your perfect Speed Twin 1200 RS.
Engaging ergonomics and a dedicated roadster-focused chassis combine with new high specification suspension and tyres to deliver the Speed Twin’s benchmark confidence-inspiring, agile and intuitive handling.
