| 2012 Triumph Speed Triple R Photo Gallery Posted: 30 Oct 2011 10:00 PM PDT |
Hi guys, we gave you one photo of the new R version Speed Triple the other day. Now here are more shot of Triumph’s best-selling and class-leading super naked, the Speed Triple 1050, with a taste of the exotic.
The bike, essentially an uprated version of the standard machine, follows the template of previous Triumph R models such as the Street Triple and Daytona 675, by being equipped with a variety of high-spec chassis components.
The Speed Triple R comes with top-notch, multi-adjustable Ohlins 43mm NIX30 forks, a matching Ohlins TTX 36 shock at the rear plus, to minimize unsprung weight, special lightweight five-spoke forged aluminum PVM wheels which together are 1.7kg lighter than the stock items.
The brakes on the R are uprated too, now comprising race-spec, four-piston radial monobloc calipers from Brembo. Switchable ABS is still available as an option. Together, the uprated brakes and wheels are claimed to offer a 5% increase in stopping performance over the stock version.
The 2012 R sees the debut of an updated gearbox which is claimed to offer a smoother action.
Cosmetically, the R is distinguished from the standard bike by a red finished rear subframe, red wheel rim stripes, a red ‘R’ logo and is available in Crystal White or Phantom Black.
Stay tuned for more updates, and be sure to order your copy of the 2011 print edition of Inline Performance Magazine HERE at the pre-order price until supplies last.
