With 100 HP at 7.250 rpm, the engine now delivers 3 HP more peak power and has more power in the medium speed range than the previous model.

The Speed ​​Twin engine's responsiveness has also been improved thanks to a 17 percent reduction in inertia – achieved through a new, lightweight crankshaft and alternator. As a result, the engine revs faster than the previous generation and now achieves a top speed that is 500 rpm higher. In addition, new higher compression pistons, revised ports and a new cam profile complete the list of performance upgrades. The unmistakable sound of the Bonneville twin is defined by the new brushed stainless steel megaphone twin mufflers with their deep, throaty tone. The innovative and uninterrupted flow of the headers cleverly conceals the catalytic converter box, creating the signature straight-run exhaust design. As with all models in TRIUMPH's Modern Classic range, running costs are kept low thanks to long service intervals of 16.000 miles.

Better handling and even more driving fun

Already renowned for its superb, nimble handling, the new generation Speed ​​Twin benefits from a number of significant upgrades for an even more precise, agile and dynamic ride. The 2021 Speed ​​Twin is equipped with a high-quality Marzocchi upside-down fork with a diameter of 43 mm and cartridge damping, which enables even more confidence-inspiring and more comfortable handling. In combination with the stereo spring struts with adjustable spring preload, the new Speed ​​Twin can offer even better handling and the perfect driving behavior of a modern roadster. The braking performance of the new Speed ​​Twin generation has been further improved with new Brembo 4-piston M50 radial monobloc front calipers and double 320mm Brembo discs. Together with the floating Nissin two-piston rear brake caliper with 220 mm disc and standard ABS, they ensure optimum response and better control without fading. The new Metzeler Racetec RR tires are responsible for the best possible grip, precision and stability at high speeds. They are mounted on also new, lighter 17-inch cast-aluminum wheels with a 12-spoke design front and rear.

The Speed ​​Twin is a perfectly balanced motorcycle that offers an intuitive and confidence-inspiring handling. Ergonomics are optimally proportioned, with a moderate 809mm seat height, a narrow step arch, tapered handlebars and a comfortable roadster footpeg position that is 38mm forward and 4mm lower than the Thruxton, giving the rider a more relaxed riding position .

State-of-the-art technology including a 2021 upgrade

The new generation of the Speed ​​Twin is packed with driver-centric technology, including a sophisticated ride-by-wire system that offers precise throttle control and three riding modes: rain, road and sport. These have been further improved for 2021 and adapt both the throttle response and the traction control settings to the driver's preferences. Driving modes can be switched at the touch of a button while driving to respond to any change in driving conditions and maximize driver confidence and safety. The driver can also switch off traction control independently via the instrument menu.

The motorcycle is also equipped with LED taillights and indicators, as well as a characteristic LED daytime running light integrated into the headlight. The modern 3D instruments have a digital menu system that is called up using the scroll button on the handlebar. The driver receives all important information, including gear position, two trip kilometers, fuel level and range as well as average and current fuel consumption and access to the settings of the traction control and the tire pressure display (available as accessories). Other driver-oriented technologies include a USB charging socket under the seat and an immobilizer with a transponder that is integrated into the key.

More premium style and elaborately crafted details

The new Speed ​​Twin combines the timeless DNA of TRIUMPH with a contemporary custom style and comes in the 2021 outfit with even more stylish details. In addition to the new 12-spoke cast wheels and the two raised sporty silencers with brushed stainless steel manifolds, the Speed ​​Twin is characterized by its characteristic 14,5-liter tank with knee indentations, beautiful handlebar end mirrors, molded side covers and a stylish seat.

The genesis of a motorcycle icon

The original TRIUMPH Speed ​​Twin from 1938 changed the motorcycle world at that time. It was a revelation for the driver with the world's first successful parallel twin engine integrated into a groundbreaking, modern chassis. Their confident, dynamic handling and their excellent responsiveness made TRIUMPH the world's number one in terms of performance and driving behavior. The first Speed ​​Twin was thus the model for all motorcycles of later generations and acquired the reputation of being the first real "Riders Bike".
