https://www.puretriumph.co.uk/news/rss https://www.puretriumph.co.uk/news/25ym-tiger-1200-rally-pro-review-the-eye-of-the-tiger The eye of the Tiger. Its been a while since my last Triumph road test. Boxing Day 2024 the retina of my left eye haemorrhaged just like that. And with it went my works drive for the Alfaworkshop. 2024 had been a fantastic year, four race wins. For the first time since I came out of retirement to race, I really hit my groove. Then it was all over. At least for now Back to the source, bikes. Ive been riding a lot. My partner JoJo has been cruising around all over the shop on a little Honda 125 Minkey Bike, getting ready for her direct access test, with me creeping along behind, critiquing at great personal risk from her -- on my 2019 1260 Diavel S. Context, at the NEC bike show last year we picked up a pair of the superb, ( - though tricky to pair), Interphone Ucom 6R. Game changer. Bike to bike or rider to pillion intercom. Show price - 200 for an experienced rider riding with a novice, I cant think of anything better. Even at the regular price of 280. Its the best money weve spent in a while. Even with a foam plug screwed tightly into the ear to prevent Termi-damage, its not hard to hear the intercom or phone. Result. And, it was to prove an incredibly useful technology on a long pillion ride. As we both discovered. Anyways, I figured it was time to get back onboard something current and cutting edge. I reached out to my good buddy, Kevin Lington, who had been in Barbados at the same time I was working there earlier this year, training the emergency ambulance drivers. Hes a brilliant lifelong friend and dealer principal at Pure Triumph. Loved by his customers and the brand. Im sure a lot of people ride Triumphs directly because of Kevin hes an olskool gentleman. Kev: How about the new Tiger 1200 Rally Pro? Great idea. For a chunk of this ride, I would be two-up. With a precious and critical cargo, my partner JoJo. And the mission? Ride to the Goodwood Festival of Speed, to watch my latest pupils go up the hill in one of their own cars. The pupils? Gene Haas and Ayao. Owner and team principal, HAAS Grand Prix. The car? A Haas F1. THEIR Haas F1. Brad Pitt, eat your heart out. Now, for context I have been riding Tigers of all types for years indeed during the BS lockdown we even pioneered a virtual launch for the, then new, 900 Rally Pro. And I loved that bike. The Rally Pro has always been my favourite Tiger derivative though the GT may even have the edge on a really long-distance road run. But the Rally Pro is, by far, the coolest derivative Im ashamed to admit, aesthetics matter to me especially when it comes to motorbikes. MY bikes have to look cool. And a matt metallic olive green Rally Pro with white frame is the prettiest of the breed. The whole species actually. Leaving Pure Triumph for home, seventy miles away, my first impression was of the changes for 2025 I last rode the 1200 many miles North to present a British Scooter Endurance Championship event at Teeside, a million miles away, eighteen months before. A GT, on that occasion. On returning the bike, Kev. had answered my one serious criticism; its too tall. POST-EVENT. He found, from below the counter, a low seat. This year Kevin bolted on the option low seat before I took off on the bike and pointed at the Home button on the righthand handlebar console. Press that and become tall, for the first time in your life. I did and I did. Pure genius. Not quite perfect the lowering of the electronic suspension takes place below 30MPH but, for me, holding down the button whilst blipping the throttle to change down was clumsy. I found myself banging down to 2ndand 1st, rather than synching the road speed with engine speed by revving the twistgrip throttle. I couldnt easily thumb the button AND roll the twistgrip. Especially on a shaft drive bike, this creates a small clunk that the blip I couldnt manage would have eliminated. Still, a brilliant idea just needs a little finessing. Maybe have an option to have the hydraulics set to actuate automatically when the speed decays below 30 MPH ? But Im being churlish its BRILLIANT tech. widens the Tiger demographic enormously. As is the dash-integrated SatNav. So damn useful. The connection process was pretty easily sorted too, the only glitches came through the mapping solution laggy and prone to holding on to the last road name as opposed to the current. But again, small price to pay for a routing solution that means a rider doesnt even have to take their eyes off the road. Triumph, Im in I hate having to rely on my infuriating little Beeline The OLED panel is uniformly superb, the rider modes intuitive, the information presented in a seamless way, and easy to read. Even to a vintage proposition like me. Especially after a retinal haemorrhage. Amen. Thanks Triumph. That engine. Set in Road mode not Sport so generous, so turbine smooth, but with instant linear drive. And, heres where the 1200 scores over the 900, you go up slopes in whatever gear you are in even with a pillion. Its remarkable. And the damn thing handles better than it ever should. Ive ridden all the flavours of GS, and fine though they are, the Tiger is much closer to a Multistrada than the boxer. It just is. And, on a distance run and at low RPM on part throttle openings, its got the edge on both. The gearbox also, despite the shaft, is the best of the three. The quick-shifter works especially well on the 1200, the clutchless changes from low rpm literally make the bike feel like an automatic my pillion often didnt know when we were shifting moving up the gearbox, going down was less precise, especially when trying to lower the bike using the Home button whilst blipping but Im going on a bit Anyways, the pillion proposition. Its pretty good. The lowered riders seat I was using does exaggerate the height difference between rider and pillion. JoJo felt she was perched too high, and for manoeuvres she would slip down into my seat, instinctively lowering the centre of gravity of the bike but numbing off my ass at the same time. So, on the road at last leg one Clifford Chambers to Pewsey, our FOS stop over with JoJos kids. Perfect evening, Cotswolds traversing, relaxed ride, slow by my standards, JoJos first serious pillion. The big Tiger makes such easy work of this kind of riding I mean you know the CofG is high, but the grip and balance of the big triple hide it for the most part stellar brakes pull off speed effortlessly, low speed manoeuvring, even two-up, is impeccable and the slightly too-quiet pipe is not going to offend anyone. The two powerful headlamps supplemented by the piercing LED spots make sure that even the lack of aural stimulation will not prevent other road users knowing you are there primary safety, and Im grateful for it. On this bike I took to flashing the main beam on whilst filtering, it generally had the desired effect. Nevertheless, a pipe would be on my snag list. Its saved me more than once We are off following the SatNav. And our knowledge of the Cotswolds. JoJos just passed her test, so our excellent NEC show Bluetooth Interphone units are crackling with her advices on my speed and technique. Certainly, I am riding much more slowly than the last Tiger safari I went on. But maybe thats a good thing in 2025 As soon as the Tiger is on the move, the height melts away. The electronic suspension is, literally, a magic carpet ride. Sublime. One thing that has changed is the front screen is now no longer electric its an easy manual adjustment. But nevertheless retrograde step for me. I like the toys on this bike, Im prepared to forego the gram strategy. We wind our way through the Cotswolds chatting easily as we despatch so many beautiful villages and towns. Its hard to think of a better bike for this type of work the GT maybe? Ive done this kind of thing on Road Kings, Multistradas, etc. But the big Tiger is next level Musings on the power unit it feels like it has a lot of flywheel inertia when I go to blip it from low RPM, it is slow to spin up, surprisingly so in the bottom three gears almost like its on the throttle map? In fairness I am riding in road mode, not sport for the maximum pillion comfort and maximum platform stability, Nevertheless, its the one time the big triple is reluctant to spin up odd, when its not under load. Or, maybe its BECAUSE its not under load Cruise control was deployed often, I really miss bikes that dont offer this now I cant believe Im typing this, I mustve gone soft. Wait I have. As evening fell, I began to appreciate the heat coming off the big triple, JoJo and I shivered and headed into Wiltshire. Now came the next test JoJos son Captain Morse lives a little bit off-grid in rural Pewsey, on the side of a hill. To get to our rest stop we were going to have navigate a pretty rutted farm track that runs for more than a mile, OK, here goes enduro star Clearly the idea of dropping the bike with pillion and luggage was pretty appalling , so I hoofed the bike down to second gear, and made a mental note to stay away from the front brake here we go. Now my off-road buddies tell me this bike is pretty impressive on rough terrain and green lanes for a big adventure tourer and so it proved. Even on the standard road-biased rubber, the Tiger was outstanding, finding grip everywhere, mud, broken tarmac, stone, damp grass, ploughed field it dug its claws in, and refused to flinch. We pulled up at Hazs place, and wearily JoJo dismounted. Actually that is probably the riskiest part of using the big Tiger the pillion dismount. I gladly parked her, (the bike!), up for the evening, and headed in for a rest. After a great night, morning came too fast, we were packed and inbound for Goodwood with the promise of a legacy parking spot in his Lordships hotel carpark and buoyed up by Maserati partner tickets in JoJos breast pocket. Reverse the farm-track and off we go again. This leg seemed the toughest in many ways leaving at circa.8.30AM, we hit traffic everywhere. Here lay the key pillion problem: a bike that, despite its size, had been a filtering weapon, with JoJo on board was blunted mainly because SHE wasnt confident doing it. I completely get it she had only just passed her test who can blame her? But, the slightly buggy Triumph app. mapping took us through every single little 30MPH village between Pewsey and Goodwood. Man, that was a LONG schlep Eventually when we hit town well, his worshipfuls turf, we had to do a spot of impromptu off-roading to get to the Goodwood Hotels carpark amazingly the Goodwood logistics crew had chosen to damp down the dust from the heatwave, by watering the roadways! I remember thinking I DEFINITELY dont want to fall off HERE. No need to worry, the surefooted 12 picked its way across the muddy, gravelled track, two-up with luggage, any twitching of the tyres soaked up by a combination of long travel, classy, suspension and the electronic rider aids Simply put, this means if you are ,like me, a relative off-road novice, you will be safe to pick your way across pretty much any terrain your road-trip throws at you. My guess is most of these most capable of Tigers wont ever be used to more than five percent of their true off-road capabilities like the Range Rover but, its there if you need it. A top road tourer with full road touring rubber will be parked at the top of the cliff in Cornwall, the Rally Pro will allow you to park down by the caf, just above the beach. Its that kind of bike, and lovable for it. We abandoned the bike under the willow tree in the corner of his Lordships hotel carpark, left our helmets at the reception as per the old days, when I used to host the AMG Mercedes stand at the first corner, then walked in to what turned out to be a, predictably brilliant show. Sold out, and too busy for me, but exceptional none the less. We visited my two F1 pupils, Gene Haas and Ayao, who were both still buzzing from their respective runs up the hill, and spent some quality time chatting with team manager Dom. Mindful of the long two-part journey home, we headed back to the bike after about four/five hours liming, and, contemplated the long run North. Goodwood Pewsey Stratford upon Avon - all plumbed into the My Triumph app. By this stage JoJo was questioning her decision to agree to this first ever touring ride and I get it with hindsight, ten hours plus in twenty-six in the saddle was just too much, almost for both of us. But the first part of the ride cross some of the most beautiful English countryside was sublime, slow, but secure in a line of Festival traffic including a Maclaren 570. Truthfully, probably on my own, I would have lit the blue touch paper and passed everything in sight, but two-up, it was appropriate to chill. With the eye issue, maybe thats not such a bad thing The stop-off at Pewsey was longer than I had planned in-fact so long I elected to change my visor for the clear one I nearly always carry. Smart move. JoJo was refusing any more immediate seat time. Thank God it was at least dry. Ninety minutes recharge time was the order of the day. Eventually we hit the road for the final leg. I had to conclude that the Rally Pro is a very impressive motorcycle. Especially when you are road weary, as I now was. When I did Teeside and back in 24hrs in 2023, I recall the last couple of hours at night being in the rain I remember the big triple shrugged off the weather, the narrow front clearing a path and shipping many gallons of aqua per minute. Admittedly the speeds today were not as high as my previous sorties, but the ergonomics on this bike really work. Its very well thought out. As night falls the four lights come into their own two picking out the road and signs and two making sure other traffic see US. Ill say it again these are especially important now the EU have started to clamp down hard on noise. The Tiger is both mechanically and induction roar loud enough its just painfully quiet from the pipe even on full chat. It makes a nice sound just not a loud sound. And I wish it did As we dismounted back at our cottage, I now faced one of my biggest 1200 Rally Pro challenges wheeling the bike backwards down the little path to our brick-backed shed. For this bike you really need a drive-in garage. It is big, wide and top heavy. Too heavy for me with my storage limitations, maybe someone bigger than my 5 10 frame would hack it, but my stupid storage situation would make this tricky as a full-time proposition. I know, move house I packed the big Triple away and covered her with a blanket hard not to form a bond with a machine that has just transported you hundreds of miles to a major event in complete safety, comfort - and some considerable style too. And, some days later, returning the big cat to Pure Triumph at Wellingborough, I was musing over why, somehow, despite so many epic Tigar trails Ive never owned one? I realised that most of my biking involves short cross -country thrashes as opposed to either touring or commuting. If my motorcycling was about either or both the above I WOULD own a Rally Pro. And as soon as I can afford have space for a second bike, its on the shopping list. Ive looked at used Tigers many times, I cant think of anything that would get you cross- country, eating up miles with high cruising speed and cutting-edge safety better than this icon. Its a professional selection that would be super easy to live with. Unless you live in a dolls house, of course, like us Steve Deeks July 2025 Fri, 20 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.puretriumph.co.uk/news/triumph-launches-speed-twin-cafe-racer-edition-timeless-elegance-meets-contemporary-sports-style Triumph reveals new Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer Edition, limited to just 800 motorcycles worldwide, each accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity Elegant Cafe Racer sports style with clip-on handlebars and brown bullet seat, plus high-quality details including bar end mirrors Exclusive British racing-inspired colour scheme and graphics Available in dealerships from March 2026 (Markets to update) Triumph Motorcycles has unveiled the Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer Edition a limitedrun model inspired by the original British cafe racers of the 1960s.

Higher performance 660cc triple engineproducing an impressive 95PS and 68Nm of torque. New bodywork and graphic schemes for both models, and a bigger fuel tank for the Tiger Sport 660. Chassis refinements and improved ride quality for both models, with a revised frame and new Showa rear suspension unit for the Trident 660. Triumph is taking its popular Trident 660 and Tiger Sport 660 to the next level with their most significant updates yet. These updates deliver more performance, making the Trident 660 a much sportier choice, while the Tiger Sport 660 delivers character and excitement, while also improving its touring capability. At the heart of the upgrade is a major engine enhancement. Both models now feature a higher-performance 660cc triple engine, producing an impressive 95PS and 68Nm of torque. This step up in power puts the Trident 660 at the top of middleweight roadster class, while the Tiger Sport 660 combines its new performance with improved touring capability for riders who want to go further, asserting its position as the ultimate middleweight all-rounder. The updates dont stop at the engine. The Trident 660 gains a more muscular stance with new bodywork and a chiselled fuel tank, reinforcing its athletic roadster attitude. The Tiger Sport 660 introduces a larger 18.6-litre fuel tank and new bodywork including updated radiator cowls, improving range and weather protection on long rides. Both models retain their agile, confidence-inspiring handling, now complemented by chassis refinements and improved ride quality. The Trident 660 benefits from a new Showa rear suspension unit for improved adjustability, while the Tiger Sport 660 retains its accessible ergonomics and low seat height, ensuring comfort for everyday riding and long-distance touring. The latest updates to the Trident 660 and Tiger Sport 660 are complemented by bold new colour schemes and graphics that enhance their distinctive styling. For the Trident 660, the vibrant Cosmic Yellow and Stone Grey take centre stage as the premium paint choice, with Snowdonia White offered as standard. The Tiger Sport 660 introduces Interstellar Blue with Mineral Grey alongside Silver Ice with Intense Orange as its striking new premium options, and the standard option, Pure White. These fresh designs give riders even more ways to personalise their bike while maintaining Triumphs premium finish and attention to detail. Updated 660cc Triple Engine Both the Trident 660 and Tiger Sport 660 benefit from the higher-performance version of Triumphs 660cc Triple, achieved through a series of mechanical changes and a new engine tune. Peak power is now 95 PS at 11,250 rpm, an increase of 14 PS, with the redline raised by 20% to 12,650 rpm for a livelier top end. Torque also sees an uplift to 68 Nm at 8,250 rpm, with 80% of that available from 3,000 rpm right through to almost 12,000 rpm, ensuring strong, flexible performance across the rev range. This combination makes the Trident 660 sportier and more engaging, while the Tiger Sport 660 offers added touring capability, whether riding two-up or fully loaded all while retaining easy, accessible performance and A2 licence compatibility. A key part of the performance upgrade comes from significant changes to the engine hardware, including a move from a single throttle body to three individual 44mm throttle bodies, one for each cylinder. This update further enhances the sporty nature of Triumphs three-cylinder design, delivering the ideal balance of strong low-down torque with even more mid-range and top-end power. These changes work in harmony with the new engine tune to provide riders with a more responsive and characterful experience across the rev range. Further enhancing performance and responsiveness, the engine benefits from a larger, front-mounted airbox that improves airflow and delivers a more engaging induction sound. The cylinder head has also been re-engineered with larger exhaust valves and a higher-lift cam profile to optimise combustion and power delivery. To manage the increased performance, the cooling system has been upgraded with a larger, repositioned radiator and fan, ensuring efficient temperature control even in demanding riding conditions. Completing the performance package is a new engine tune that brings a series of refinements. Alongside the increased torque and raised redline, the calibration has been optimised for smoother low-RPM throttle openings and improved overall throttle response. These changes ensure the Trident 660 and Tiger Sport 660 deliver accessible, predictable performance with added excitement across the rev range. The performance upgrades are complemented by a series of key component revisions. The exhaust system now features a 3-into-1 header design with a revised catalyst and an underslung silencer, contributing to both efficiency and the distinctive Triple sound. The six-speed gearbox has been updated with new input and output shafts, revised gear ratios and final drive, plus recalibrated Triumph Shift Assist for smoother, more precise changes. A new slip and assist clutch further enhances ease of use, reducing lever effort and improving control for everyday riding and longer journeys. Paul Stroud, Chief Commercial Officer, Triumph Motorcycles, said: Both the Trident 660 and Tiger Sport 660 have built a huge following worldwide, attracting riders of all ages and experience levels, from those new to motorcycling to experienced riders. The Trident 660 has also brought more female riders to Triumph than any other model in our line-up. These bikes have won multiple awards and introduced a new group of riders to the Triumph brand. For 2026, weve taken both bikes to the next level. The result is a significant performance increase, which puts the Trident 660 back at the top of its class and secures the Tiger Sport 660s position as the segment leader. Alongside this, both models gain important chassis and styling updates that enhance their presence and capability, while retaining the accessibility and A2 licence compatibility that have made them so popular. The Tiger Sport 660 sits within the Adventure Sport-Touring segment, appealing to riders who want a versatile bike for commuting during the week, fun riding at weekends, and longer touring trips often two-up and fully loaded. The Trident 660, on the other hand, is a middleweight roadster that has become a favourite for riders looking for an agile, stylish machine for urban riding and spirited back-road fun. These updates ensure both models continue to deliver exactly what their riders value most, with even more performance and refinement. TRIDENT 660 TRIPLE THE THRILL The new Trident 660 combines thrilling performance, agile handling, rider-focused technology, and distinctive muscular styling with a class-leading low cost of ownership making it the perfect entry point to the Triumph family.

TIGER SPORT 660 - ADVENTURE EXTENDED The new Tiger Sport 660 combines upgraded performance, agile handling, enhanced touring capability, and rider-focused technology with a class-leading low cost of ownership, cementing its position as the ultimate middleweight all-rounder. Class Leading Triple Advantage As the only three cylinder engine in this category, the Tiger Sport 660 already provides class leading everyday performance, with the perfect combination of low-down torque, mid-range and more top-end power. For 2026, and the introduction of the updated 660cc triple engine, it now produces 95PS at 11,250rpm, which is an increase of 14PS, and 68Nm of peak torque at 8,250rpm. With 80% of that torque available from 3,000rpm through to almost 12,000rpm, riders will enjoy strong, flexible performance and intuitive throttle response at any point on the rev range, ideal for riding two-up, or fully loaded for touring. As with the Trident 660, this step up in performance comes from significant engine hardware changes, including three individual 44mm throttle bodies, a larger airbox, revised cylinder head, and a new engine tune. The redline has been raised by 20% to 12,650rpm, giving the Tiger Sport 660 an even more engaging top end while retaining the smooth, linear delivery that makes it easy to ride every day. The distinctive triple soundtrack remains a hallmark of the Tiger Sport, now enriched by the triple throttle bodies and new induction system, complemented by a compact underslung silencer. A revised exhaust system with a 3-into-1 header and updated catalyst ensures compliance with the latest standards without compromising character. The six-speed gearbox has been refined with updated shafts, revised ratios, and recalibrated Triumph Shift Assist for quicker, smoother gear changes. A slip and assist clutch reduces lever effort and improves control, making the Tiger Sport 660 ideal for urban riding and long-distance touring. An A2 licence conversion kit is available for European riders, and LAMS variants are offered in Australia and New Zealand. Enhanced Presence for Every Adventure The 2026 Tiger Sport 660 introduces new bodywork and styling updates that enhance its presence and touring capability. New bodywork enhances the Tiger Sports presence, with a more substantial front end and angular side profile, creating clean lines and that distinctive sporty style. New radiator cowls and a refined front-end design improve weather protection and comfort. The larger 18.6-litre fuel tank increases range for longer adventures, while the adjustable windscreen can be easily adjusted with one hand, taking the height from 1312mm to 1395mm. Accessory options such as heated grips and handguards provide additional comfort in challenging conditions. A comprehensive range of luggage options is also available, including colour coded panniers offering a combined 57 litres of capacity and a top box providing an additional 49 litres, enough for two helmets. This combines to make the Tiger Sport 660 ideal for commuting, weekend rides, and extended touring. The Tiger Sports distinctive design is finished with subtle Triumph branding and premium details throughout. Premium colour schemes include the dramatic Interstellar Blue & Mineral Grey or Silver Ice & Intense Orange for an extra 150, with the Pure White scheme as standard. Sportier Setup and Enhanced Touring Capability The Tiger Sport 660 retains its agile, confidence-inspiring handling, now enhanced with chassis updates for 2026. A revised frame accommodates the new engine and triple throttle bodies, while premium Showa suspension ensures comfort and control. At the front, Showa separate function USD forks deliver 150mm of travel, paired with a Showa monoshock RSU at the rear offering 150mm of travel and remote preload adjustment for quick changes when riding two-up or fully loaded. A wet weight of 211kg, lightweight cast aluminium wheels, and Michelin Road 5 tyres provide excellent grip and confidence in all conditions. Twin 310mm discs with Nissin calipers deliver strong, predictable braking performance, supported by braided brake lines and a span-adjustable brake lever for consistent feel. The upright riding position and low seat height inspire confidence, while spacious ergonomics and integrated pillion seat ensure comfort for both rider and pillion. Accessory options include a dual low seat, reducing seat height to 810mm, and a dual comfort seat for enhanced long-distance comfort. Integrated Tech for All Conditions The Tiger Sport 660 is equipped with a comprehensive suite of rider-focused technology fitted as standard, designed to enhance safety, convenience, and connectivity. Ride-by-wire throttle enables three riding modes Sport, Road and Rain each optimising throttle response, ABS, and traction control settings for different conditions. A six-axis IMU supports Optimised Cornering ABS and switchable Optimised Cornering Traction Control, providing reassurance and control at all lean angles. Triumph Shift Assist allows clutchless up and down shifts, while one touch cruise control is fitted as standard to help reduce fatigue on longer rides. The instrument setup combines a colour TFT display with an LCD screen, delivering clear, easy-to-read information. MyTriumph Connectivity comes as standard, enabling turn-by-turn navigation, music, and call control.

Paul Stroud, Chief Commercial Officer, Triumph Motorcycles said: The Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X, and more recently the Scrambler XC, have been a global hit, winning multiple awards and driving record sales. These bikes have brought more younger riders and more women into the Triumph family than ever before, proving the appeal of a premium brand in this market. This success reflects Triumphs unique position in the segment, blending high quality finishing, modern performance and beautiful retro styling. Now, with the Tracker 400 and Thruxton 400, were building on that momentum with two brand-new models that give customers even more choice. Powered by the latest TR-Series engine, the most powerful iteration yet, these bikes deliver distinctive character and engaging performance. The Tracker 400 brings stripped-back flat track attitude, while the Thruxton 400 reimagines an iconic name with authentic caf racer style for a new generation. Together, these models offer riders, more fun, more style and an even sportier ride. TRACKER 400: FLAT TRACK STYLE FOR THE ROAD The new Tracker 400 draws inspiration from flat track racing, capturing the raw, stripped-back aesthetic and competitive spirit synonymous with this class, channelling the style and attitude of bikes built for the oval dirt track. Stripped Back Attitude Designed to stand out in the crowd, the Tracker 400 combines race-inspired styling with aggressive lines for an unmistakable flat track silhouette. Classic Triumph design cues and the iconic engine profile make this a true Modern Classic. The tracker-style fuel tank, with its sculpted knee cut-outs, pairs seamlessly with the fly screen and colour-coded seat cowl and the dual-spoke wheels with blocky dual-purpose Pirelli MT60 RS tyres, deliver a bold, sporty stance. As a Triumph Modern Classic, it features the signature engine profile with powder-coated covers and bright-machined cylinder head fins. That unmistakable Triumph DNA runs throughout, with a classic round LED headlight up front and flowing twin upswept silencers at the rear. The Tracker 400 is offered in three striking race-inspired colour schemes, each showcasing bold Tracker lettering on the fuel tank, set against sleek racing stripes with dramatic mud-splatter detailing that extends seamlessly onto the seat cowl. A distinctive number board proudly displaying 400 pays tribute to legendary flat track racers. The Aluminium Silver Gloss scheme is accented with Racing Red graphics across the fuel tank, seat cowl, number board, and wheels. Racing Yellow delivers a vibrant statement with its bold yellow tank and seat cowl, contrasted by Phantom Black elements and Racing Yellow highlights on the number board and wheels. For a darker, more aggressive look, Phantom Black combines moody black with Dark Silver, Vanilla White, and Pearl Metallic White accents across the tank, cowl, number board, and wheels. An Enhanced Riding Position Upright and elbows out thats the essence of Flat Track style. Wider handlebars, set 23mm broader and 134mm lower than those on the Speed 400 to enhance the bikes dynamic stance.

A contemporary single-dial analogue speedometer paired with a digital tachometer delivers essential information at a glance, with all wiring neatly hidden to preserve the clean, timeless Triumph look. Exciting and Characterful Engine The latest model features a new and more powerful iteration of Triumphs class leading TR series engine. This has been achieved through a combination of new mechanical parts, including a revised camshaft profile, along with a new engine tune. This results in a five per cent increase in peak power, now producing 42PS peak power at 9,000 RPM, with a higher rev limit and stronger peak power at the top of the rev range. This allows the Tracker 400 to rev harder and higher, for an exhilarating and addictive throttle response that encourages the rider to exploit the performance available and ride this bike with the attitude it deserves. The enhanced engine also retains the 37.5Nm of peak torque, with 80 per cent of this available from 3,000 RPM, offering that linear, torque rich performance that adapts to any riding scenario. The ride by wire throttle ensures intuitive throttle response all the way through the six speed gear box.

From the upside-down forks providing high-performance suspension, to the precision-machined cooling fins, Triumphs meticulous attention to detail ensures a clean, uncluttered finish with no exposed wires, cables, or hoses to spoil the bikes classic look. This attention to detail extends to the Tracker 400s flawless paintwork, delivering a finish that exudes precision and quality. THE REVIVAL OF THE THRUXTON NAME The legendary Thruxton name makes its return with the all-new Thruxton 400, a modern interpretation of an icon that defined an era. Celebrated for its unmistakable cafe racer attitude and racing heritage, the Thruxton has always embodied style, performance, and character. Now, that spirit is reimagined for a new generation, delivering the perfect balance of timeless design and contemporary engineering. Head-Turning Cafe Racer Design The classic Triumph engine profile is complemented by a sculpted fuel tank, which is a fusion of flowing lines and sharp contemporary contours, with the Triumph triangle badge. A new fairing houses the classic round LED headlight, contrasting with the sporty and stylish bar end mirrors, blending tradition with innovation. Clip-on handlebars lower the front end for a more assertive stance, while the colour-coded bullet seat cowl, shortened rear mudguard and number plate hanger, plus a compact LED light contribute to a minimalist, purposeful rear. The upswept sports silencer completes the look, with a seamless, flowing exhaust line. Four vibrant colour schemes feature sleek graphics and sporty contrast accents on the fuel tank, fairing and seat cowl, while the Matt Phantom Black side panel carries an aluminium finish badge bearing the Thruxton name. The Phantom Black and Aluminium scheme features wide diagonal stripes of colour across the fuel tank and seat cowl, with Racing Red accents on the fairing and seat cowl.

The Pearl Metallic White and Storm Grey paint scheme includes flashes of Caribbean Blue on the seat cowl and fairing, while the Metallic Racing Yellow with Aluminium Silver design features a Metallic Racing Yellow fairing with Phantom Black accents and Aluminium stripes that carry through on the fuel tank and seat cowl. An All-new Sportier Ride With optimised ergonomics and a dedicated chassis, the new Thruxton 400 delivers a fun and sporty ride. The new chassis and revised suspension setup provide a sharper, more responsive feel, while the sporty handlebar and footpeg position give an engaged riding experience. The new clip-on handlebars are 40mm narrower and 246mm lower than those on the Speed 400, while the rear-set footpegs are positioned 86mm further back and 27mm higher. This rotates the rider forward, creating a true cafe racer riding posture.

A ride-by-wire throttle, switchable traction control, torque assist clutch and ABS ensures rider confidence. Exciting and Characterful Engine Powered by the most powerful iteration of the TR-series engine yet, with all the same enhancements as the Tracker 400, the 398cc engine revs higher and harder, delivering a thrilling top-end while maintaining the smooth, torque-rich performance and rich, distinctive soundtrack that defines the Triumph experience.

With just 1200 of these available around the world, customers who secure an early order will really stand out from the crowd." MORE POWERFUL THAN EVER With 183PS at 10,750rpm, the new engine delivers 3PS more than the previous generation of Speed Triple. Torque is improved too, with 128Nm at 8,750rpm, which is not only 3Nm more than the outgoing model but is delivered slightly lower in the rev range. Incorporating learnings and expertise gathered during Triumph's Moto2 engine development, the Speed Triple 1200 engine has been engineered to be more powerful and durable, as well as being compact and lightweight. A new, free-flowing exhaust system and compact, lightweight Akrapovi silencer streamline gas flow and centralise mass to improve performance, while maintaining the Speed Triple's signature triple bark. RAZOR SHARP HANDLING Featuring innovative 'spool valve' technology for even faster adjustment and improved comfort, state-of-the-art hlins SmartEC3 semi-active technology delivers perfectly tailored, precise and dynamic handling. This includes the hlins Objective Based Tuning Interface (OBTi), which continuously monitors and adjusts the suspension damping characteristics. So, whether riding in a straight line, braking for a corner, balancing the bike mid corner, or accelerating out of a corner, it adjusts the damping characteristics to give the desired performance in each scenario. Riders can now customise this performance using an intuitive menu system on the TFT instruments, so the bike continuously monitors and adapts the damping in real time to deliver the optimum performance for the conditions. For the next level of precision and control, the Speed Triple 1200 RX also features an electronically adjustable steering damper, the hlins SD EC, delivering smooth and predictable handling in every situation. The Brembo Stylema calipers combine with a Brembo MCS lever, delivering impeccable stopping performance and a customisable brake feel. Completing the set-up, the Speed Triple 1200 has Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3s fitted as standard, which have a bi-compound design for optimised grip, stability and durability. While delivering absolute focus with clip-ons that are 69mm lower and 52mm further forward than the 2025 RS, the RX is compact with bars that are slightly wider than the outgoing RS model, creating a sporty, roadster stance that delivers effortlessly precise handling, and real-world comfort. Where the yokes have been updated to accommodate the wider bars and the addition of the steering damper, the finish of these components has been updated to a sophisticated and understated black tone, creating a contrast with the gold hlins forks. BOLD DESIGN AND AGGRESSIVE STYLING With sharp lines and a purposeful stance, the Speed Triple 1200 has a strikingly handsome silhouette, with a sculpted tank and minimalist rear end that blends seamlessly with the rear light and numberplate hanger. Taking cues from the 30 years of Speed Triple design DNA, the new model retains the signature twin headlights and single sided swingarm, which reinforce the bikes modern and aggressive styling, as well as its serious performance capability. Evolving the design for an even sportier look in 2025, the aluminum twin-spar frame and lightweight new wheels reduce gyroscopic forces for faster turn in and greater agility, making carving through corners effortless, while a new seat cowl sharpens the rear end of the bike. Despite all the extra technology and the electronic suspension, the Speed Triple is still one of the lightest bikes in the class, at just 199kg wet weight with fuel. Contributing to this, is the Speed Triple's lithium-ion battery, which is significantly lighter than a conventional battery. From the bar end mirrors, to the meticulously sculpted swingarm, the attention to detail, build quality, and overall level of finish, are second to none. RIDER-FOCUSED TECHNOLOGY The 2025 updates also bring new performance electronics that are configurable by the rider and adjustable independently of the riding modes. The new front wheel lift control system, which incorporates inputs from the six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) to determine the pitch of the bike, offers four levels of adjustment. Engine Braking Control is customisable according to the rider's preference, complementing the adjustable throttle maps and allowing riders to adjust the engine feel to suit their own riding style and the conditions. Brake Slide Assist, which is available in Track mode only, optimises the ABS calibration for track riding by allowing more front wheel slip and more rear wheel lift. This maximises performance on track and minimises feelings of being intrusive, all while providing a safety net in case of unexpected conditions. With five distinct riding modes (Rain, Road, Sport, Track, Rider), Optimised Cornering ABS and switchable Optimised Cornering Traction Control, and the Triumph Shift Assist up and down quickshifter all fitted as standard, the Speed Triple has all the advanced features to maximise performance and safety in all conditions. The design of the 5" TFT instrument interface provides instant access to all key information, controlled by the intuitive 5-way joystick and backlit switches. The standard-fit My Triumph Connectivity System enables turn-by-turn navigation, as well as phone and music control. Theres fully adjustable cruise control for longer rides, and a new Emergency Deceleration Warning feature activates a high-frequency flash of the brake light to alert other road users in case of hard braking and rapid deceleration. The ignition, steering lock and fuel filler cap feature keyless operation on the 2025 Speed Triple 1200. For added security, the wireless function can be disabled with a single button press.

The Triumph Shift Assist provides smooth, clutchless gear changes up and down. The new Special Edition retains its racing-inspired looks, paying tribute to Triumphs legendary five-time Isle of Man TT-winning Slippery Sam, but this time with an even more modern graphic scheme. Its sleek sapphire black bodywork provides a deep, glossy black finish which forms the base of this special edition, bringing a stealthy new look to the Trident Triple Tribute. This is contrasted with bold Cobalt Blue and Diablo Red highlights, which sweep across the tank, tail and front end. The 67 race number graphic on the tank once again gives a stylish nod to the most famous Trident in history. The striking Diablo red wheels give the Trident Triple Tribute unmistakable presence, while the compact, aerodynamic flyscreen screen in Sapphire Black with matching Triple Tribute graphic detail, enhances the front-end silhouette. Completing the modern new look, a sculpted aluminium belly pan is also fitted as standard for a clean, aggressive lower profile and extra road presence. This striking scheme channels Triumphs racing heritage and gives the Trident Triple Tribute unmistakable character. Paul Stroud, Chief Commercial Officer, Triumph Motorcycles said: This middle-weight roadster continues to be incredibly popular in a highly competitive category, winning new fans with every new update. Following the launch of the latest generation Trident in September, and the global success of the Trident Triple Tribute special edition in 2024, we were keen to meet the demands of our customers for an updated Trident Triple Tribute this year. The striking styling and exceptional finish is sure to turn heads, while the triple engine performance, and rider-focused technology will turn even a daily commute into a thrilling ride. TRIPLE-CYLINDER PERFORMANCE Featuring a dedicated Trident tune, the Trident 660s triple engine is fully Euro 5+ compliant, giving 81 PS peak power @ 10,250 rpm and 64 Nm peak torque @ 6,250 rpm, for smooth, responsive performance across the rev range. The linear torque curve and ride-by-wire throttle make the power delivery intuitive and exciting, whether navigating city traffic or flowing through open corners. With advanced engine mapping, the 660 responds instantly to rider input, while low-inertia internals help the engine spin freely, adding to the bikes playful nature. A distinctive deep triple soundtrack is provided via a compact and minimal single sided silencer, with a premium stainless-steel finisher. An accessory fit A2 conversion kit is available in Europe, including the A2-specific APS twist grip and a unique engine tune, which restricts peak power to 47 PS, or 35kW, and peak torque to 59 Nm. The bike can be de-restricted at the dealership, once the rider has completed their full licence. The Tridents smooth six-speed gearbox, with gear ratios and final drive that are optimised to make the riding experience easy and fun, is further enhanced by the addition of the Triumph Shift Assist up and down quickshifter, included as standard for this special edition. PRECISE AND AGILE HANDLING Lightweight and balanced, the Tridents tubular steel chassis and high specification suspension gives riders confidence and control, whether commuting or enjoying weekend rides. The Showa 41mm Separate Function Big Piston upside-down forks and a preload-adjustable monoshock RSU are tuned for the road, delivering precise front-end feel and stable, composed handling. Trusted grip in all conditions comes courtesy of high-performance Michelin Road 5 tyres for confidence in the wet and dry, while twin Nissin two-piston front callipers with 310mm discs provide smooth, progressive stopping power to match the Tridents exciting performance. RIDER-FOCUSED TECHNOLOGY New for 2025, the Optimised Cornering ABS uses Internal Measurement Unit (IMU) inputs to adjust braking parameters while leaned over, delivering confident control in corners, while the new Optimised Traction Control adjusts power based on lean angle and surface grip to maintain control, with rider-selectable modes. The new Trident 660 also features Cruise Control as standard for the first time, adding comfort on longer journeys, while more urban riding is made easier by the Triumph Shift Assist, which enables smooth, clutchless gear changes up and down. With three riding modes, Road, Rain, and now Sport, the throttle response and traction settings can be tailored to match the road conditions or the style of ride. These Riding modes are accessed easily via the intuitive, full colour TFT screen and handlebar controls, which also support the My Triumph Connectivity System, fitted as standard to enable riders to integrate their phone, music and turn-by-turn navigation.

Identical in every other way to the current Tiger 900 GT Pro, which set a new benchmark in road-focused adventure when it launched in 2024, this A2 compliant variant has a revised engine tune that delivers 95PS peak power. An accessory restrictor kit can be fitted to reduce the power output to 46PS (35kW), meeting A2 licence requirements. Once the rider has gained their full A licence, the restrictor kit can be easily removed by a Triumph dealer to restore the bike to its unrestricted 95PS power. The Tiger 900 GT Pro has always had a broad appeal, combining all-road capability and comfort with distinctive Tiger attitude, said Triumphs Chief Commercial Officer Paul Stroud. Increasing numbers of new and younger riders aspire to adventure riding, with plans to take their bike on tour and discover new places, so this addition to our A2 compliant range will make that possible. For A2 licence holders across UK & Europe looking for a bike that can handle both the commute and the weekend adventures, this new Tiger 900 GT Pro variant, will be ideal. The current Tiger 900 GT Pro first arrived in dealerships in 2024, delivering a significant step-up in performance, capability and all-day comfort, with an aggressive style and poise. TRADEMARK ENGINE AND T PLANE CRANK The Tiger 900s trademark three-cylinder engine has a new tune for this variant, giving 95PS of peak power as well as good tractability lower in the rev range. With its T-plane crank and offset firing intervals, the Tiger 900 maintains its characterful and distinctive performance and sound, as well as achieving enhanced performance throughout the whole rev range. On the road the Tiger 900 GT Pro is agile and easy to ride at low speeds, but with plenty of performance for rapid bursts of acceleration and effortless high-speed touring. EXCEPTIONALLY CAPABLE CHASSIS Featuring premium MarzocchiTM suspension tuned for maximum all-road capability, the GT Pro is fitted with 45mm USD fully adjustable cartridge forks. The rear suspension unit has electronically adjustable preload and rebound damping, which allows for easy and convenient preload adjustments at the touch of a button to suit riders travelling solo, with a pillion or fully loaded. With 180mm of fork travel and 170mm of rear wheel travel, the set-up has been tuned specifically for the GT to deliver excellent road handling and long-ride comfort.

A Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is also standard on the GT Pro model.

With a design scheme developed by Triumphs world-class paint team, the Bobber TFC features a unique, two-tone paint finish with hand-painted marble gold textured accents on its minimalist tank and side panels, elevating its visual impact. Adding a personal touch, each fuel tank is hand signed on the underside by the artist. Clip-on bars give a more focussed riding position while the slim 19-inch front wheel of the TFC epitomises the purest expression of classic British Bobber style, contrasting with the wide rear tyre to perfect a commanding stance. A pair of matt black slash-cut Akrapovic silencers with carbon fibre end caps combine with an intoxicating induction roar from twin airboxes and throttle bodies, to perfectly complement the Bobber TFCs more aggressive engine map and the exhilarating throttle response in its extra Sport riding mode. The Bonneville Bobber TFC also benefits from high specification hlins suspension front and rear, powerful Brembo radial monobloc brakes with a Brembo MCS master cylinder, and a significant weight reduction compared to the standard Bobber - all set up and optimised by Triumphs chassis development experts to deliver a ride that is as special as the bike looks. Chief Commercial Officer, Paul Stroud said: The Bobber is the bike of choice for many incredible custom builders and we know that more than 70 per cent of our customers in this category personalise their bike with accessories.

With only 750 of these Bonneville Bobber TFC motorcycles in the world, this is a rare, hand-crafted gem that showcases Triumphs heritage and innovation, and while it will look incredible as part of a collection, this bike will be fully appreciated on the road. HAND-CRAFTED CUSTOM STYLE From the gold detail on the ignition key to the embossed leather seat, the Bobber TFC has a luxurious appeal.

The hlins 43mm NIX 30 upside-down forks and rear shock ensure precise, sporty handling to match the purposeful look, and are fine-tuned to provide optimal comfort and handling. RAW CUSTOM-TUNED PERFORMANCE The new Bonneville Bobber TFC is engineered to deliver a riding experience thats as powerful as it is refined.

This enhances low-end responsiveness, giving the TFC an effortlessly powerful feel. The TFC also has a new Sport riding mode; as well as Road, and Rain, which provides an even more instant throttle response. The striking twin Akrapovi exhausts with carbon fibre embellishers produce a deep, hot-rod sound that perfectly matches the bikes assertive character.

New multi-function bullet-style rear lights* remove the need for a central rear light, providing full functionality while preserving the bikes clean, minimalist look. ON THE ROAD Arriving from March 2025, the new Bobber TFC will be available from 17,195 OTR. Tue, 10 Dec 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.puretriumph.co.uk/news/24my-tiger-900-rally-pro-review-like-the-legend-of-the-phoenix Like the legend of the Phoenix Im not going to lie: I feel lucky. As I pointed the 2024 Rally Pro South on the M5, I remembered that the last time I rode this bike, the World was on fire. That BS nonsense codenamed Covid. It certainly changed my World, and in 2020 I joined an agency to create a virtual launch for the original Rally Pro 900. Then, desperate to escape the govts. lockdown (for the people, not for them) I headed to Cornwall to put the bike through its paces actually to check the decrepit state of my little Mousehole cottage roof. But as much to BREATHE the bike then, I reported, was superb. The roads were empty. Cornwall was a ghost town. What a disaster from which it has never quite recovered. Same as the World, actually. And for what? Nothing. 2024 and she, (the Rally Pro), is better looking than ever. I now live much further away from PURE, so this limits my ability to road test but Ive been looking forward to this one for a while. Last year I borrowed the 2023 1200 Tiger and headed up to present a scooter racing event in Teeside a LONG way up North. I wanted to have a direct comparison because I think the Rally Pros most direct competitor is NOT a rival brand. Its the Tiger 1200. How can I be so punchy? Because the Triumphs are more agile than the BMW its that simple. Its a long time since I tested a Multistrada its my guess that would be the real challenger. But, in what it does really well, I think Triumph own this segment of the motorcycle market I see Tigers of various vintage often. Anyways, Point 1. The SatNav. Bloody brilliant no other way of describing it. In 2020 the dash SHOULD have been able to do this but practically speaking it couldnt. I gave up trying to pair the app. And moaned about it, I recall Connecting my phone with the dash.: In 2024 it was fiddly to connect but I managed it and it expanded my World. My first stop was my brothers place on the edge of Dartmoor, to drop off some stolen promotional clothes. Sam is a starving artist, I like to keep him in fresh togs It's the only time in 20 years that I have ever been able to find Sams place first time. Normally it involves me riding around Tavistock and neighbouring villages hoping to see something that reminds me vaguely of where I am. And he lives. Dartmoor is like the Shires in Lord of the Rings. Slim chance. Im usually tired, aching, hungry sometimes wet but always dead keen to get off the bike after three or four hours in the saddle. And I cannot because Im hopelessly lost. In 2024, the game has changed. And some. The SatNav takes me THE FASTEST WAY to Sams door by a route I have never taken before i.e, the right route. Past a beautiful waterfall I didnt even know was there Like I said, a game-changer. Prominent and clear on the dash turn by turn signals and arrows large, easy to read and intuitive. Whoever designed this, rides a bike. Amazing. Convenience speed safety sustainability this ticks a lot of boxes. Once youve used it, you will tick the options box too in-fact, eventually, you wont even consider a bike that doesnt have this on the dash. Its like cruise control once youve done a trip with it, youll make it a non-negotiable. Why is cruise-control a non-negotiable? Because you can cover hundreds of miles steering with your knees where safe to do so. I knocked off 300 plus each day no shoulder and arm ache that marked out the apres-ride from my first thirty-five years of touring. Cruise is the business, simple as. But the Rally Pro has many other tricks up its sleeve to make you fall in love with it. Twin LED spotlights you are unlikely to miss me coming. Brace yourself TWO stage heated seat same for pillion and THREE stage heated grips, (obviously NOT for pillion ), and these are not just for Winter. 200 miles into the journey, the 70 MPH constant windchill is taking effect as I head into dusk, passing through occasional rain showers and spits to be able to gradually, a stage at a time, add in heat elements is a JOY. I really LOVE this stuff and it makes me safer and more alert and dexterous with the controls. And it will you too. This is serious quality I salute Triumph for this. You will concur. When I slid onto the saddle at PURE HQ Wellingborough, I did wonder whether the seat was big or padded enough for crossing continents, it looked slightly Adventure Touring as opposed to Touring Touring but in practice, it worked out just fine I would occasionally stand up in the saddle to vent the crown jewels, and stretch my legs. Didnt try a pillion but did have Kevins Cordura top box strapped to the seat pad as usual with all my kit in it. I need to buy that box if they still make it. Best bike luggage I have ever used. From Metre 1, this is a bike that inspires massive confidence. As I pulled off the ramp at PURE, I immediately felt at home, albeit a couple of flights up. Captaining a Rally Pro is a bit like Captaining a Lancaster for a Diavel rider shes tall. Once you get used to the elevated viewing gallery, it becomes an advantage you can see over the top of SUVs, when traffic starts piling into each other you have a fighting chance of not getting embroiled. Result! It's the ride quality and grip that get you first. Svelte with traction and cornering ability to spare. I mean, you shouldnt be able to crank a bike with such a big front hoop into bends the way you can this one. Showa and Bridgestone to thank here - Triumph havent cheaped out on the componentry. And it shows. The rear shock is exceptional at providing a magic carpet ride I never failed to marvel at the way it floated over broken up road surfaces. Especially impressive when you encounter a pothole on your line whilst cranked over you say a prayer and brace, ( - actually you do the opposite you relax your grip on the bars) but the Pro soaks it up. Its like the two-wheel equivalent of a Land Cruiser comfortable, capable and with a feeling of being crafted for the long term. As it should for the money its not cheap at 14.5k Gearbox is always these days, a Triumph tour de force this one has a quick shifter and, believe me, because of the torque, you will be shifting fast. I would sit at 4500 RPM where there is instant and linear drive on tap, then punch it up to 5500 and shift. Machine gun fast shifts too the box never complains. Not a single false neutral Ducati could learn something from Triumphs gearbox engineers. You will note that Ive left the engine to last Honestly, that is because it, literally, quietly gets on with the job of propulsion. Without masses of drama and theatrics. Its efficient 60 MPG is on smooth as a turbine, and due to Triumph changing the firing order, has a nice beefy growl emanating from deep within its crankcases. But its no drama queen and to me, used to the mechanical sound of my 1260 S Diavel, its all almost too quiet, too smooth. But for long-distance touring, you will be very grateful for this. When I dropped the Rally Pro off and collected the Duke, for the first few miles I thought it embarrassingly noisy and brutal. Thats the Hinkley triple for you sounds and responds -like a jet turbine spooling up. Does it make enough power? Yes, for me, as a lifetime pilot, just. Its not explosive, (106 BHP), but searing if you care to rinse the motor and spool it up to beyond 9000 RPM. Theres a price to pay for the frugal 60MPG its very lean off the bottom of the throttle this can catch you out pulling off the lights but it has that excellent torque thrust at 4500 RPM Ive alluded to A Triumph Triple CAN be anything you or Triumph - want it to be the 1200 RR I tested was bonkers fast 180 BHP - the 1200 Tiger much less so and the power step down to the 900 might leave experienced riders wanting a little more on the road but never NEEDING a little bit more, note the difference. As a real-World motorcycle, she covers ground very fast or can. Its only us racers with forty years riding under our belts who would ever even question it. I race a 455 BHP 800 KG Alfa Romeo 4C by mid-season, that doesnt even feel fast I head cross country towards the M5 at a gentle trot observing, (mainly), speed limits and settling in for the long haul. Impossible to believe at this age my first Triumph - in 2010 was the Steve McQueen 865 Scrambler that I bought myself, and I used to do a regular 225 mile each way commute. I dont think I could physically do that on an 865 these days way too crude for the time required in the saddle. The Rally Pro is like space travel by comparison and SO much safer. In every respect. I realised on this ride, Ive become a pretty good motorcyclist. Not in an arrogant dropping my guard kind of way but theres a gentleness now to the way I address the controls and being back in a race car has sharpened my senses. I feel incredibly relaxed on the a bike for that I am very grateful. And, on a really long ride, I get into a zen state. Amazing. It's been a few months since I set out on a massive forty-eight hour raid. If you are relatively new to motorcycling, you may only have done short trips or trips in company with other bikers. I have buddies who only want to ride when they have someone to ride with. For me, thats missing a trick. Though I love riding in company, there is also something special about riding long distance solo. At first the time in saddle seems immense but as you get into the ride, your conscious mind relaxes and whilst still being incredibly alert allows all kinds of thoughts to run through your head. Riding through Devon across Dartmoor then into Cornwall is magnificent, the sights, smells changing landscape. No matter how many times I do this, always a joy on the right bike. Lets be clear, that part is IMPORTANT. You CAN do this run on a 2010 865 Scrambler you can even do it on an RD400 Yamaha, (look it up), with expansion pipes I know Ive done it forty years ago but you are going to be seriously uncomfortable at various stages of the journey. And the day after. As the RD400 is a distant memory, lets talk about the Rally Pro compared to, say, a Triumph or similar - heritage bike. And here, for me, is the rub. We all love those sexy looking Sunday morning caf racers. People like me probably dont go for the looks of adventure motorcycles as much as the Steve McQueen specials. But crossing a damp, misty Dartmoor, three hours into the ride, with luggage and animal shit all over the gravelly single track road your show-pony heritage becomes a liability whereas your Rally Pro with linear power delivery, perfect fuelling, adjustable screen, ABS, ESC, heat grips, comfortable heat seat, LED spots Bridgestone becomes your best friend. Warm, dry, brilliant traction high enough to see over the hedges. This is your ticket to Business Class travel. And safety dont underestimate that. Ive also done this trip on a Road King Harley and remember what wheel spin over painted moors roads feels like its not enjoyable, and it could easily have ended on its side. Downshifts on my 865 with its heavy flywheel and budget clutch would tax the grip of the heritage rubber the single disc front brake would make an emergency evasion a marginal call. It did! Getting back on my current motorcycle, a 2019 1260S Diavel, it immediately feels terrible compared to the 900 Rally Pro. It looks fantastic. But, the riding experience is strictly for sunny days and smooth roads. I need an adventure bike in my stable. The issue is, I dont have a stable or even a garage to keep another bike in say nothing of the funds - so it would have to be my only bike and at this point, now I am seriously considering one. The only other bike that I have ever ridden that impressed me as much at the time was the original Multistrada, back in the day maybe circa. 2011. But if you dont need 150 BHP, and really, who does then the Pro does a better job for less money. And heres the kicker the 2024 Pro is the best-looking Triumph Adventure bike to date especially in these colours. The racer in me is drawn to the Desert X as an alternative I havent ridden one, but I can guess but again its style over practicality how much off road capacity do I really need ? Zero capacity, thats the truth of it. So why not the GT Tiger, with cast wheels? Nope. The Rally Pro is good looking in a rugged sort of way. It is the sweet spot. Ability vs. Aesthetics. Check. Speed cameras everywhere make 160 BHP seem a nonsense too an engine like the Diavels runs at 65 degrees at 90 MPH, ultimately pretty pointless. The little Tiger is happy at 50MPH in a contraflow in 5th or even 6th. When I was a kid, 900cc sounded like a big bike today it feels like a toy to me, power-wise it can be quick, but you have to rev. it. The good news is, its socially acceptable and, unsurprisingly, part of that is the noise or lack of it. It makes no more noise than a car most of the time. Where that is a liability is when filtering on a slow motorway, which its exceptional at you have to rely on the LEDS for penetration. When I owned the Harley hot-rod, the noise of the unbaffled Akrapovic pipes would part the Red Sea, as people scanned their rear-view mirrors looking for the wreck that was undoubtedly cartwheeling down the road towards them the Tiger doesnt do that and its the worse for not announcing itself more assertively. What it does sublimely is eat miles. In the most comfortable way imaginable. 100 95 90 she just munches the mileage up like a two-wheeled PacMan. I can honestly say Ive never ridden anything more comfortable its a Land Cruiser with two wheels or, maybe, reliability aside a Range Rover. The ergonomics are spot-on. And it takes you about ten minutes to learn it. Its not a quirky bike like the BMW GS Urban I briefly owned you can place the Tiger with ease. What would I change? Good question. Pipe? Definitely. Add speed limit sign on the dash. Keyless. Whos it for? Me. At the age I am now. People who want to need to go to work on a bike and jump the traffic. People who want to cross continents in style. People who need to leave for the office early and come back late. People who dont want to attract the attention of the Police. Intelligent people. People who would prefer not die on a motorcycle. All the stuff twenty years ago I would have told you doesnt belong on a motorcycle is, all of the stuff that makes this motorcycle epic. You wont look like Steve McQueen. But you might look like Daniel Craig. And you will be having a fantastic trip. Steve Deeks August 2024.

Since 2021, this model has won awards for its confidence-inspiring, agile and sporty ride. In fact, our customers have told us that they find this bike so capable, they want to travel longer distances, so we have been looking at how we can make the ride even more comfortable.

With Optimised Cornering ABS and traction control included as standard, plus Cruise Control and Triumph Shift Assist, this bike offers riders incredibly good value compared to the competition.

As a result, the Tiger Sport 660 now has three riding modes, gaining a new Sport setting in addition to Road and Rain.

Delivering a much more contemporary feel and effortless agility, the new Speed Twin 900 now has upside-down forks and matching sport-style mudguard and fork protectors at the front. At the rear a new fabricated aluminium swingarm and piggy-back rear suspension units are complemented by a narrower rear frame with a slimmer mudguard and compact tail-light. These combine to deliver dynamic handling and a sportier style, while retaining the Speed Twins classically-inspired good looks and easy riding appeal. The timeless bench seat is now slimmer and shaped to support the rider more while cornering, while also providing greater legroom for a more spacious feel.

Triumphs Chief Product Officer Steve Sargent said: This new Speed Twin 900 styling has evolved to be sleeker and more dynamic while still retaining the classic design cues that deliver that timeless style. The bike is more agile and easier to manouvre too, as weve made changes to the chassis and specification that all add up to make a big difference. From talking to our customers, we know that the enduring appeal of the Speed Twin 900 is also due to a premium specification, top-quality finish and great reliability, and a badge on the tank which owners are proud to own. Our ambition is as always, to deliver more of what riders appreciate. EFFORTLESSLY COOL DESIGN The new, sportier fuel tank is deeply sculpted, with chiseled side panels and stylized throttle body covers, introducing more purposeful, dynamic lines. The engine casings are leaner, the silencer shorter and the headlight unit more compact. The detailing on the Bonneville engine is as authentic and beautiful as ever too, and the bright machined cooling fins on the cylinder head and finned header clamps are joined by black-wrapped stainless steel exhaust headers, shorter, upswept silencers and polished end caps. This look extends to details across the bike, including a new aluminium flip-up filler cap on the tank, and a simpler design for the heel guards and footpegs. The new Speed Twin 900 has three distinctive colour options. Riders can choose between a sporty Pure White scheme with bright blue and orange stripes on the tank, a moody Phantom Black tank, with dark grey stripes and gold accents, or a classy Aluminium Silver design with a splash of red framing the Triumph logo.

The bench seat has a new shape to complement the narrower rear frame, giving riders a narrower stand-over. Theres also an accessory low seat available that reduces the height by 20mm, from 780mm to 760mm, without compromising comfort. CHARACTERFUL BONNEVILLE TWIN The characterful 900cc Bonneville twin ensures that responsive performance is always accessible, with peak power of 65 PS at 7,500rpm, and lots of torque across the rev range; with 80 Nm available at just 3,800rpm. That performance is delivered with the efficiency and precision of a fully ride-by-wire system. CONFIDENCE INSPIRING TECHNOLOGY The aim was to deliver more functionality while preserving that clean, heritage-inspired design and pure riding experience. Helping to tailor that torque-laden power delivery are two riding modes, Road and Rain, with the latter delivering a softer throttle response for a more secure feeling when riding in the wet. Both systems are now lean-sensitive with Optimised Cornering ABS and Traction Control fitted as standard.

Riders can easily convert the bike back to full power as they upgrade their licence, allowing the new Speed Twin 900 to grow with their experience.

Triumph Motorcycles Chief Product Officer Steve Sargent said: At the heart of the Tiger Sport 800 is a new three-cylinder engine which delivers the power and excitement that riders want, whether tackling the daily commute through the city streets or enjoying a weekend blast on a winding rural road. We know this customer is very discerning and is looking for a bike that is exciting to ride, but also delivers all the practical criteria that they need. Thats why weve developed a compelling package that includes smooth power delivery and a perfect balance of agility and stability, as well as an accessible seat height, comfortable upright riding position and integrated luggage options, which are essential to customers in this category. We wanted the rider will feel immediate control and precision with every corner, so technology like the ride-by wire throttle, Optimised Cornering ABS and traction control, alongside three riding modes, delivers the optimum performance. This is further enhanced by the Triumph Shift Assist and Cruise Control, ensuring the Tiger Sport 800 has everything it needs for a rewarding yet comfortable ride.

Triumphs Chief Commercial Officer Paul Stroud said: We first launched the Trident in 2020 with a unique combination of exhilarating triple performance and character, confidence inspiring handling and bold British styling. With its unrivalled overall cost of ownership on top, it proved popular with riders of all ages and experience levels, in markets across the world, and since its launch the Trident has won several major industry awards. The addition of this technology sets the bar for the category yet again. Building on the popularity of the bright, bold colour scheme of our special edition, the Trident Triple Tribute, we are introducing striking new colour schemes in Cosmic Yellow, Cobalt Blue, and Diablo Red, as well as the Jet Black. But the most important factor for our customers, of course, is that the Trident 660 makes every ride seriously fun. TRIPLE ADVANTAGE The Tridents exhilarating performance is delivered by a flexible three-cylinder engine, which combines low-down torque with a strong midrange and an exciting top-end rush. More than 90% of peak torque is delivered from 3,600rpm to 9,750rpm. This gives the rider the best of both worlds compared to a twin or four cylinder engine, by combining the low-down pull and strong midrange of a twin with the high-revving top-end power of a four, as well as the glorious three cylinder soundtrack. Beautifully balanced and easy to ride at all speeds, the thrilling power delivery combined with the slick gearbox and Triumph Shift Assist, makes rapid acceleration seamless and exhilarating.

RIDER-FOCUSED TECHNOLOGY New for 2025, the Trident 660 now has a class-leading level of technology, now fitted as standard. Unique in this segment, Optimised Cornering ABS and Traction Control ensures the optimum performance at all lean angles. Using information from the six axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) to calculate lean angle, brake pressure and throttle position, the system continuously monitors and adjusts engine and braking parameters to ensure optimum performance and safety under braking and acceleration. Fitted as standard, Triumph Shift Assist allows seamless up and down gear changes without using the clutch, and Cruise Control is included to reduce rider fatigue. Integrated into the instrument dial, a full-colour TFT screen with Bluetooth connectivity adds turn-by-turn navigation and full phone functionality to deliver unrivalled levels of rider convenience. In addition to the existing ride by wire throttle and Road and Rain riding modes, theres now a third Sport mode giving even more responsive and exciting performance from the triple engine. Increasing safety and reliability while eliminating maintenance, the Trident 660 has a distinctive round all-LED headlamp, integrated rear light and self-cancelling indicators for enhanced visibility. UNIQUE STYLING The Tridents unique retro-modern styling, and Triumphs flawless attention to detail throughout, sets it apart from the pack. Its minimal lines and unmistakable muscular stance have been enhanced for 2025 with three bold new colour and graphics schemes. Cosmic Yellow, Cobalt Blue, and Diablo Red catch the eye, complemented by touches of Sapphire Black and striking diagonal white stripes. There is also a more subtle Jet Black colour scheme. Other subtle updates include upgraded materials and finishes, including a new forged aluminum top yoke and forged aluminium brake pedal. EASILY CUSTOMISABLE With 45 Genuine Triumph Accessories to choose from, riders can add protection, comfort, styling, luggage and security to their Trident 660.

With an A2 restrictor kit available in European markets, the Trident 660 can be restricted to meet the requirements of the A2 category licence for younger and new riders. When the owner progresses to a full A licence, the dealer can restore full power, ready for the next stage of the riders journey. ON THE ROAD The Trident 660 offers a best-in-class low cost of ownership. The high build quality and use of only premium materials means service intervals are every 10,000 miles, and owners get the added reassurance of a global two-year, unlimited mileage warranty and excellent residuals when the time comes to trade-in. The Trident 660 will be available from 7,895 OTR. Bikes will be arriving in dealerships from December 2024.

Unmistakable ELVIS gold lettering, representing set lights, together with Elvis Presleys signature, feature prominently on the tank and side panels, while die-hard fans will find fascinating Elvis discoverables on the bike, including a discreet Taking Care of Business in a Flash emblem. This was a personal mantra that captured his work ethic and the design featured on the necklace presented to each of his Memphis Mafia. The rich Carnival Red colour scheme was inspired by the J Daar custom Bonneville created to raise money for the Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation in 2023. And just like the Bonneville T120 TT which featured in Comedy Western Stay Away Joe and the Bonnevilles which were gifted to the Memphis Mafia in 1965, the modern T120 retains the iconic Bonneville DNA, timeless silhouette and distinctive sculpted tank that so impressed Elvis. Bonneville tank stripes in Aluminium Silver beautifully complement the striped mudguards, accentuated by hand-painted gold line detailing. A deep, high-quality chrome finish has been applied to carefully selected parts, including the sweeping twin skin exhaust with classic peashooter silencers, adding lustrous detail to this iconic model. This special collaboration offers motorcycle and music fans an unprecedented opportunity to own their own piece of the Elvis and Triumph legend. Limited to 925 worldwide, the bikes feature a special numbered handlebar clamp with laser etched Elvis Presley signature, and each one will be presented along with a Sony gold disc, in an exclusive Elvis Presley and Triumph Motorcycles record sleeve, encasing a bespoke certificate of authenticity, signed by Triumphs CEO Nick Bloor and Jamie Salter, Founder, Chairman and CEO of ABG, Elvis Presley Enterprises. Its been incredible to see the customer reaction to the custom Bonneville that raised so much for charity earlier this year, and our search for the Memphis Mafia Bonnevilles, which has unearthed wonderful glimpses into the past, said Triumphs Chief Commercial Officer Paul Stroud. With so much interest in the story so far, were confident our passionate customers will be thrilled at the chance to own this magnificent tribute to the biggest selling solo artist in history, when it arrives in dealerships in July. MEMPHIS MAFIA BONNEVILLES Elvis' introduction to Triumph Motorcycles was in 1965 while taking a break from filming and spending time with his closest friends, known as the 'Memphis Mafia', at his Bel Air home. Friend Jerry Schilling had ordered a new Triumph T120 Bonneville and Elvis took it for a ride around the neighbourhood. Elvis was impressed, and when he returned, he told his transportation manager, Alan Fortis, to "order one for all the guys, but...it has to be tonight!" Motorcycle dealers Bill Robertson & Sons managed to deliver seven Triumphs that night two more followed soon after - and Elvis and his friends rode together around Bel Air late into the evening, only stopping when neighbours called the police to complain. Triumph is on the hunt to track down the Bonnevilles, with several leads already adding to the dossier of evidence. One customer came forward to share that she was once the proud owner of Jerry Schillings Bonneville, and still has a registration document to prove it! Sadly, the bike, now repainted pink, had been sold years ago, but with the bikes VIN confirmed, the search continues. The Memphis Mafia story inspired a one-of-a-kind Elvis Presley Triumph Bonneville motorcycle and matching Gibson Les Paul Guitar which sold for $20,000 at the Amelia Island Auction held by Bonhams|Cars earlier this year. The auction was in aid of the Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation, who continue Elvis' legacy of generosity by supporting numerous charitable causes. AUTHENTIC MODERN CLASSIC DESIGN The Bonneville T120 Elvis Presley Limited Edition features beautiful twin dial instruments, with an analogue speedometer, tachometer and integrated multi-function LCD screen that is striking, yet easy-to-read in all light conditions. Refined details such as the 3-bar classic tank badge and classic machined engine fins, are faithful to the iconic 1959 Bonneville. TORQUE-RICH PERFORMANCE Combining modern performance and efficiency with timeless character, the 1200cc parallel twin delivers a powerful, torque-rich performance, with the unmistakeable sound of a British twin and charismatic 270 firing interval.

The 1200 twin engine delivers 105 Nm of peak torque at a very low 3500 rpm and its power peaks 80 PS at 6,550 rpm. With its sensitively designed liquid cooling system, the engine exceeds EURO 5 requirements, and offers excellent fuel economy. CLASS LEADING HANDLING Renowned for its agile, confidence-inspiring feel on the road, dedicated chassis, with relaxed riding position, the T120 has a dual seat that offers all-day comfort, with a low height of just 790mm. The latest generation ABS with twin-piston Brembo floating front calipers and 310mm discs give superb feel and power for confident braking, while Triumphs latest generation ABS and switchable traction control maximises safety and control. TECHNOLOGY AS STANDARD Packed with high specification technology, the T120 features a ride-by-wire throttle, switchable traction control and single-button cruise control fitted as standard.

Thu, 28 Mar 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.puretriumph.co.uk/news/the-storm-is-comingnew-triumph-rocket-3-storm Twenty years after the first record-breaking Rocket III burst onto the motorcycle scene as the ultimate muscle roadster, a new generation of Rocket has been revealed, delivering more performance, better handling and a dark, moody colour scheme. It even has a new name, the Rocket 3 Storm, to match its muscular style and spectacular riding experience. Featuring the worlds largest production motorcycle engine with a capacity of 2,458cc, the new Rocket 3 Storm R and Rocket 3 Storm GT gain 15PS peak power, now delivering a massive 182PS at 7,000rpm. Torque has also been increased by 4Nm, reaching a new peak of 225Nm at a low 4,000rpm. This flat, rich torque curve with maximum torque all the way through the mid-range gives explosive acceleration and effortless response in any gear. The Rockets 16-inch rear and 17-inch front wheels have been updated with a sportier ten-spoke cast aluminium design, reducing unsprung mass. This reduction has a positive impact on steering response while on the move, improving the Rockets already impressive agility. The strong and lightweight aluminium frame, first introduced in 2019, uses cast and forged elements for an exceptional torque-to-weight ratio. Following the sales success of recent special edition Rockets which featured blacked-out components, the new Rocket 3 Storm models feature a dark, moody colour scheme and an impeccable level of quality detailing. The large 18 litre tank features the new Storm name, and each model has three distinctive two-tone colour options. The R is available in Carnival Red with Sapphire Black, Satin Pacific Blue with Matt Sapphire Black and Sapphire Black with Granite. The GT is available in the same colours, but the split of the tank is reversed, providing a distinctive, high impact look and consistent colour choice across both models. The Rocket 3 Storm also comes with high-quality black finishes throughout. Also new for 2024, the Rocket 3 Storm now exceeds the latest Euro 5b requirements, featuring liquid cooling, low emissions and excellent fuel efficiency. Paul Stroud, Triumphs Chief Commercial Officer, said: Known around the world as the ultimate muscle roadster, the Rocket has already achieved global sales of more than 18,000 since the 2.5 litre engine was introduced in 2019. By listening to feedback from our customers, we know they love the Rockets muscular presence and heart-stopping performance. We also know that riders desire even more. Thats why the new Rocket 3 Storm R and GT have been given an impressive power and torque increase, even greater agility and an even darker, moodier style and presence on the road. EXCEPTIONAL HANDLING Harnessing the Rockets impressive performance to deliver a controlled and compliant ride, is a Showa monoshock RSU and piggy-back reservoir, fully adjustable for rebound and compression damping and preload. The forks are large 47mm Showas, adjustable for rebound and compression damping. Exceptional stopping power is provided by top-specification radial Brembo Stylema brake calipers with twin 320mm discs. These lightweight, compact, and high performing calipers offer great airflow for pad cooling during spirited riding. The Brembo M4.32 4 piston radial monobloc rear caliper and 300mm rear disc is bigger and more powerful than the front brake setup on many bikes, helping to provide massive stopping power. The Rocket 3 Storm retains full optimised cornering ABS functionality. DISTINCT ERGONOMICS Each Rocket offers a distinct feel and personality, due to key differences in their ergonomics. The Rocket Rs roadster rider position and handlebar placement is designed to provide optimum power and control, to create a relaxed and engaging ride. The GT has a slightly more swept back set-up with a 125mm difference in grip position versus the R, for a more upright riding position. Each model also gets its own dedicated seating set-up, each with premium black painted cast aluminium seat finishers. The Rocket 3 Storm R has a roadster rider and pillion seat with a 773mm seat height, offering comfort, low-speed confidence and manoeuvrability. The GT has a sculpted touring rider seat with a more generously padded pillion seat and an adjustable pillion backrest. The seat height for the GT is just 750mm, further improving comfort for the rider. The biggest difference between the two models is the footpeg positions. The R has mid-foot controls, with two settings that offer 15mm of vertical adjustment, to cater for every size of rider, delivering a natural and sporty riding position. The GT has feet forward foot controls giving a laid-back custom bike feel, with three horizontal position settings offering 50mm of adjustment, to provide the most comfortable position for long rides. Both R and GT models have innovative, neat, blacked out, retractable pillion footrests. RIDER FOCUSED TECHNOLOGY From lean-angle sensitive ABS and traction control to switchable throttle maps and intuitive cruise control, rider-focused technology allows riders to confidently exploit the Rocket 3 Storms epic performance potential. Ride-by-wire enhances rideability, safety and control, while the Rockets high-performance gearbox is engineered with helical cut gears to transmit the huge torque to the rear wheel smoothly. The Torque Assist clutch helps riders shift up and down the six-speed box with satisfying speed and smoothness, while a Quickshifter is available as an accessory fit for both models. Both models feature optimised cornering ABS and traction control for enhanced stability, improving both straight line and cornering, acceleration and braking. Hill Hold prevents the bike rolling backwards and applies the rear brake until sensing the rider is starting to move off. Both come equipped with four riding modes, road, rain, sport and rider-configurable, which adjusts the throttle map and traction control settings. The electronic cruise control system is fitted as standard as well. Activated by a single press of the button, the speed can be set and adjusted up or down in 1mph increments, as well as be resumed with just one touch. Both models feature a high functionality full colour TFT set-up with a five-way back-lit joystick. This has a minimal stylish design with two information layout design themes, and the adjustable instrument angle set-up provides optimum visibility for every height of rider. The rider can even personalise the start-up screen message with their name. Adding extra security, both bikes have standard fit keyless ignition and steering lock, which can be disabled. The key fob can also be turned off to prolong battery life and increase security. There is also a USB charging socket in a dedicated compartment under the seat, where devices can be kept safe and dry while charging. BLACKED OUT STYLE Flawlessly engineered with unparalleled attention to detail, the Rocket 3 Storm sets the benchmark for premium finish. From the black powder-coated intake cover to the hydro-formed exhaust headers, the materials used throughout the Rocket 3 Storm have been carefully chosen with an unmatched attention to detail, to deliver blacked-out attitude. On top of that, Rocket 3 Storm also comes with high-quality black anodised finishes throughout; rear frame forging, swingarm guard, forks lowers and yokes, risers and handlebar clamps, RSU Rocker, seat finisher, footrests & hangers for rider and pillion, brake and gear pedals, levers, and side stand. Amplifying the bikes aggressive stance and attitude, both Rocket 3 Storms have twin LED headlights with the Triumph makers mark triangle and signature shaped daytime running lights (DRL)*. There are LED indicators, rear light and number plate light, delivering a really distinctive light signature. MAKE THE ROCKET 3 STORM YOUR OWN With over 50 Genuine Triumph Accessories to add comfort, practicality, style and security, riders can customise their Rocket to make it truly bespoke.

With changes to the crankshaft, alternator rotor and balancer to increase engine inertia, plus some associated engine calibration changes, the Triumph engineering team has been able to create a smoother and more precise low rev torque delivery. Customers will be able to feel the increased smoothness while accelerating or decelerating, especially at low speeds.

A longer clutch lever has also been introduced, providing increased space for riders fingers adding further comfort especially on longer journeys. Triumph has also increased the cornering ground clearance of the Tiger 1200 GT Pro and GT Explorer models, by lifting the footpeg positions and moving them closer to the bike. The new Active Preload Reduction feature, which was revealed in August 2023, offers the rider greater confidence by reducing the rear suspension preload as the Tiger 1200 slows to a stop, lowering the seat height by up to 20mm, simply by pressing the Home button on the switch cube for one second. The Tiger 1200 is now available in four variants, with new colours for 2024. The Tiger 1200 GT Pro and GT Explorer, tailor made for the perfect road-focused adventure ride, are now available in eye-catching Carnival Red, as well as the previous options of Snowdonia White and Sapphire Black. The Tiger 1200 Rally Pro and Rally Explorer, perfect for an all-terrain adventure, are available in stylish new Matt Sandstorm, and Jet Black options, as well as the popular Matt Khaki. Chief Product Officer Steve Sargent said: The updates to the Tiger 1200 range for 2024 will deliver an even more refined ride, broadening its global appeal. While the current generation model has already made a big impact on this segment, more than doubling annual sales of the Tiger 1200 around the globe, our world-class engineering team is always looking for new ways to refine and enhance every model. By listening to customer feedback and integrating some of the new enhancements already revealed in the new Tiger 900, this range of updates come together to deliver a significant improvement to the riding experience. First launched in 2021, the latest generation Tiger 1200 was designed to be the worlds most capable, agile and manoeuvrable large capacity adventure motorcycle. Since then, the Tiger 1200 range has seen global sales success, and the Tiger 1200 GT Explorer with its 30 litre tank, was even the bike of choice for Enduro World Champion Ivan Cervantes when he took the Guinness World Records title for riding the greatest distance in 24 hours on a motorcycle.

The Daytona 660 delivers thrilling sports performance, a dynamic ride and the highest quality, capability and specification in its class. Featuring a significant evolution of Triumphs distinctive and unique 660cc triple engine, now with 95PS peak power and 69Nm of peak torque, the Daytona 660 provides a smooth, responsive and linear delivery with the perfect combination of low-down torque, mid-range and top-end power. As well as delivering 17% more power and 9% more torque than the Trident, the Daytona 660 also has a brand-new exhaust, creating an unmistakeable sports soundtrack. The Daytona 660s perfectly balanced chassis and intuitive, agile sports handling is combined with all-day riding comfort, thanks to high specification equipment including Showa upside down big piston 41mm forks and Showa preload adjustable monoshock RSU. The radial four piston brakes with twin 310mm discs and braided brake lines are paired with Michelins new Power 6 tyres. Combined with an 810mm seat height, narrow stand-over and optimised bar and footpeg position, the Daytona 660 delivers an exciting and confidence-inspiring ride. Ensuring riders always feel in complete control, the Daytona 660 is equipped with rider-focused technology including three riding modes (Sport, Road and Rain) which optimise throttle response and traction control settings for the conditions, plus theres a new Emergency Deceleration Warning system that activates the hazard lights to alert other road users during heavy braking. The unmistakeable Daytona design DNA has been reimagined with fresh attitude for an aggressive new stance and clean lines. Distinctive twin LED headlights incorporate a central air intake and the minimal bodywork emphasises the athletic profile, ending in a contoured LED tail light. There are three striking colour options available, all featuring a bold 660 race-inspired graphic. As Triumph customers would expect, the Daytona has more than 30 Genuine Triumph Accessories to tailor performance, comfort, style and practicality, including an A2 licence kit, with a dedicated throttle twist grip and an engine tune that limits power to 35kW. A 10,000-mile service interval, two-year unlimited mileage warranty and Triumphs strong residual values contribute to securing a competitive cost of ownership, the lowest in the class. Steve Sargent, Triumphs Chief Product Officer said: The 660 has all the attitude and agility youd expect from the Daytona name, and brings with it the thrilling, useable, real world performance and all-day comfort that riders today are looking for. We are excited by the impact the Daytona 660 is going to have on the growing middleweight sports world. THRILLING SPORTS PERFORMANCE The perfect combination of low-down torque, thrilling top-end and unrivalled character, the Daytonas triple delivers 95PS at 11,250rpm with a hair-raising 12,650rpm redline. More than 80 percent of its 69Nm of peak torque is available from just 3,125rpm delivering responsive sporty and fully usable performance. By blending low-down torque and the tractability of a twin with the free-revving top end performance of an inline four, the engine has a unique triple soundtrack, further enhanced by the new exhaust which features 3 into 1 headers and a compact underslung silencer with stainless steel finisher. Power is delivered effortlessly through a slick six-speed gearbox and Triumphs Torque Assist clutch ensures a progressive, light lever action with a span optimised clutch lever for better reach. The clutch design also improves rear wheel control under hard deceleration for smooth, confident corner entry.

AGILE, DYNAMIC RIDE The new Daytona 660 benefits from years of race-winning chassis development, and with its lightweight sports frame, top quality Showa 41mm upside down, big-piston front forks and a Showa rear suspension unit, it delivers an easy and agile ride.

RIDER-FOCUSED TECHNOLOGY The Daytona 660 features technology that enhances the riding experience and safety. The ride-by-wire throttle delivers a crisp and precise throttle response and also allows for three riding modes; Sport, Road and Rain.

The traction control system can also be turned off using the instrument menu for riders who prefer complete freedom from electronic intervention. The multi-functional instruments feature a colour TFT screen integrated into a white-on-black LCD display.

Tue, 09 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.puretriumph.co.uk/news/new-tiger-900-range-for-2024triumph-raises-the-bar New Tiger 900 range delivers more performance, more capability, more all-day comfort, and more attitude Significant engine upgrade delivering 13% more power, higher peak torque of 90Nm and 9% better fuel economy All-new active safety features and new 7 TFT instruments providing more capability New rider seat and damped handlebar mounting system to provide more long-distance comfort Delivering more power, torque, capability and comfort, the new Tiger 900 range from Triumph Motorcycles is raising the bar for middleweight adventure bikes in 2024. The new line-up includes the Tiger 900 GT, GT Pro and Rally Pro, each providing a significant step-up in performance and specification. The Tiger 900s trademark three-cylinder engine has received a major update, including revised engine components, which provides 13% more power than the previous generation, giving 108PS of peak power and a higher peak torque of 90Nm. The new engine also offers greater tractability lower in the rev range. With its T-plane crank and offset firing intervals, the Tiger 900 maintains its characterful and distinctive performance and sound, as well as achieving enhanced performance throughout the whole rev range and up to 9% better fuel economy. All-new active safety features provide more capability across the range, including enhanced braking for better control and reduced stopping distances, and a new emergency deceleration warning system, which activates the hazard lights when braking rapidly and automatically deactivates when you pull away. New marker lights provide a prominent silhouette especially at night and in poor visibility. The new range also features new 7 TFT instruments, with new graphics and menu system and a new USB-C cockpit charger, as well as My Triumph Bluetooth connectivity as standard on all models. The new rider seat is flatter and roomier, with heated seats on both Pro models, designed specifically to provide more long-distance comfort. With 20mm adjustability on the seat height for all models, and an accessory heated low rider seat available which reduces the seat height by a further 20mm. This offers GT models with a potential seat height as low as 800mm, which combined with the narrow stand over width, improves accessibility. A new damped handlebar mounting system creates a more comfortable ride, plus the enhanced handlebar position on the Rally Pro, with the bars 15mm closer, facilitates a more agile ride while sitting or standing. Bringing even more Tiger attitude, the 2024 range has new bodywork across the beak, cockpit and side panels in an integrated design that gives each motorcycle an aggressive, adventure focused stance. New contemporary and dynamic paint schemes and graphics complete the look. A new Akrapovi silencer heads up the comprehensive list of more than 50 accessories, plus customers can choose from four tailored accessory packs, the Performance, Protection, Trekker and Expedition kits. The new range retains all of the Tiger 900s class-leading specification: Optimised cornering ABS and traction control with IMU Up to six riding modes including Road, Rain, Sport and Off-Road, plus Rider Configurable for the GT Pro and Rally Pro, and Off-Road Pro for the Rally Pro only All-LED lighting, including signature DRL headlight and compact taillight (Position light rather than DRL in US, CN, JP) Triumph Shift Assist (GT Pro and Rally Pro) Heated grips and seats (GT Pro and Rally Pro) Illuminated switches Tyre pressure monitoring system (GT Pro and Rally Pro) Brembo Stylema Monobloc brakes Model-specific premium specification suspension tuned for maximum road and off-road capability: The GT features Marzocchi 45mm USD adjustable cartridge forks, rear suspension unit with manually adjustable preload and rebound damping and 180mm fork travel and 170mm rear wheel travel The GT Pro features Marzocchi 45mm USD fully adjustable cartridge forks, rear suspension unit with electronically adjustable preload and rebound damping and 180mm fork travel and 170mm rear wheel travel The Rally Pro benefits from Showa 45mm USD adjustable cartridge forks with manual preload, rebound and compression damping and a rear suspension unit with fully adjustable manual preload and rebound damping, 240mm fork travel and 230mm rear wheel travel Lightweight modular frame Adjustable screen and 20mm adjustable seat height 20 litre fuel tank MORE PERFORMANCE Unique to Triumph, the T-plane crank engine with its 1,3,2 firing order and distinctive, raspy triple exhaust bark, has been further developed for the new Tiger 900 range. Engine revisions have resulted in a power increase of 13% taking the Tiger 900 from 95PS to an impressive 108PS. This has been achieved while gaining more torque and tractability at low RPM. The increased power can be felt throughout the rev-range, with a more muscular mid-range and improved acceleration. On the road the new Tiger 900 is agile and easy to ride at low speeds, but with plenty of performance for rapid bursts of acceleration and effortless high-speed touring. In more technical off-road situations, the fine throttle control is intuitive and confidence-inspiring Each model benefits from a specific suspension set-up, designed to meet the needs of the rider for each model. The GT is fitted with high-quality Marzocchi suspension with adjustable compression and rebound damping. With 180mm of fork travel and 170mm of rear wheel travel, the set-up has been tuned specifically for the GT to deliver excellent road handling and long-ride comfort with the capability to tackle off-road terrain. The GT Pro also uses Marzocchi suspension. Adjustable forks are matched to an electronically adjustable rear suspension unit this allows for easy and convenient preload adjustments at the touch of a button to suit riders travelling solo, with a pillion or fully loaded. The Rally Pro uses Showa suspension, offering riders adjustability and a generous 240mm front and 230mm rear wheel travel. This high-quality progressive suspension set-up provides capability and versatility on all roads. Complementing this specific suspension, the road-focused GT and GT Pro have lightweight cast alloy wheels, 19 at the front and 17 at the rear, for the perfect balance between road handling and off-road capability. The Rally Pro uses tubeless spoked wheels with a 21 front for pure off-road performance and features a broad tyre choice. Best in class Brembo Stylema brake calipers are fitted to all three new Tiger 900 models, ensuring effective stopping power and a sensitive lever feel that helps to keep braking powerful, smooth and controlled. MORE CAPABILITY The new Tiger 900 for 2024 features new active safety features to improve visibility on the road, including a new emergency deceleration warning system, which activates the hazard lights when braking rapidly and automatically deactivates when you pull away. In addition, new marker lights provide a prominent silhouette especially at night and in poor visibility. Optimised cornering ABS and Traction Control comes as standard across all three Tiger 900 models. Together with the ride-by-wire throttle, the level of assistance can be altered with four different standard riding modes Road, Rain, Sport and Off-Road. The GT Pro has five modes with the additional Rider Programmable mode allowing fine tuning to suit the riders preferences and riding style. The Rally Pro has six modes with the extra Off-Road Pro mode disabling ABS and traction control completely to allow the Tiger 900 Rally Pros capability to be fully utilised off road. The new enhanced braking system automatically balances front and rear braking effort, working in harmony with the optimised cornering ABS system, to improve stability under hard braking while significantly reducing stopping distances. Triumphs Slip and Assist clutch system is fitted to all three Tiger 900 models, giving light clutch lever action to reduce rider fatigue, especially for congested urban riding conditions and for technical off-road riding. This system also improves rear wheel control under rapid deceleration, assisting with smooth and assured corner entry on a range of surfaces. The Pro models are also equipped with the Triumph Shift Assist system. This allows clutch-less gear changes both up and down the gearbox for seamless acceleration and super-smooth deceleration. The My Triumph Connectivity System is now standard on all Tiger 900 models. Music, phone and turn by turn navigation can all be accessed via the new intuitive and easy-to-read 7 TFT display which is bonded to the glass for a crisp, non-reflective image. Heated grips and seats plus a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) are also standard on both Pro models. MORE ALL-DAY COMFORT The seat has been redesigned for enhanced long-distance comfort whilst retaining the ease of movement for the rider to find their perfect ergonomic position. All models feature 20mm of adjustability, as well as heated seats for both Pro models, for optimum comfort in all weathers. A new damped handlebar mounting system creates a more comfortable ride, while the handlebar position on the Rally Pro has been moved back by 15mm. This slight reduction in reach improves seated comfort while also improving rider control and bike agility in the standing position when riding off-road. Even the shape of the 20-litre fuel tank has been carefully considered to provide the perfect seated riding position without compromising control when standing. An adjustable screen with five settings spanning 50mm, ensures all riders can enjoy excellent high-speed wind protection. MORE ATTITUDE The aggressive Tiger styling and distinctive adventure-focused stance has been revised and sharpened. The new bodywork now has a cleaner, more integrated design that flows beautifully from the beak, through the cockpit and into the side panels. Three striking new paint schemes and graphics are available for each model. The GT and GT Pro are available in Snowdonia White as standard, with two premium paint options, Graphite and Sapphire Black, and Carnival Red and Sapphire Black. The Rally Pro is available in Carbon Black and Sapphire Black, with the option to upgrade to the striking Ash Grey and Intense Orange or Matt Khaki Green and Matt Phantom Black. ACCESSORIES Over 50 accessories and four accessory kits are available for the new Tiger 900 range. The fully loaded Performance accessory pack includes a brand new Akrapovi silencer, the first of a number of new exhaust systems developed in partnership. With a lightweight titanium design with carbon end caps, the new silencer delivers a 1kg weight saving and an even better sound. The pack also includes front and rear scrolling indicators with new marker light feature, and billet machined adventure footpegs. The Protection Pack showcases key practical accessories, lower and upper engine bar kits, tank pad, sump guard, fork protectors, radiator guard and for off-road, a headlight guard kit. The Trekker and Expedition packs provide two distinct, tailored luggage options for extended touring or off-road adventures. ON THE ROAD Triumphs Chief Product Officer Steve Sargent said: The Tiger 900 already has an excellent reputation as an award-winner and rally competitor, enjoying success against production motorcycles as well as purpose-built off-road machines. In fact, the Tiger 900 Rally Pro was used by World Enduro Champion Ivn Cervantes, securing champion titles at the Baja Aragn Rally, 1000 Dunas Raid and Bassela Enduro in 2022. With such an impressive pedigree, we needed to set ourselves a high target to improve the new Tiger 900. We were focused on raising the game in the middleweight category all over again. As a result, weve delivered a significant step-up, with more performance, more capability, more all-day comfort, and an aggressive style and poise. In the UK, the Tiger 900 GT will start from 12,195 OTR, the Tiger 900 GT Pro from 13,895 OTR and the Tiger 900 Rally Pro from 14,495 OTR. Orders can be placed now at Triumph dealers, with bikes available for delivery from early 2024.

A TIMELINE OF THE ULTIMATE CAF RACER The Winning Sixties While its Bonneville roots can be traced back to the Fifties, the Thruxton was born as a limited-edition racer in 1964. An instant success in endurance races, the exclusive Thruxton aptly earning its biggest accolade by claiming all three podium places at the 1969 Thruxton 500-mile race. With success at the Isle of Man TT following shortly after, the Thruxton became the first production motorcycle to lap the Mountain Course at over 100mph. The Thruxtons uncompromised racing style, handling and performance was a must for those protagonists of the traffic light Grand Prix, the world over. The thoroughly modern Thruxton In 2016 the first 1200cc Thruxton, the R, hit the showrooms, creating a new performance benchmark in this fast-growing category. Three years on, the Thruxton RS took the genre into new territories. Increased power, improved handling and a specification like no other ensured the 2019 Thruxton RS had peerless performance and the looks to match. The final evolution The absolute pinnacle of Thruxton development, celebrated with the exclusive and exquisite Final Edition. Hand-painted perfection, and available for just one last production run.

Featuring Triumphs high-power 1200cc Bonneville engine with torque-rich performance, off-road ready 21-inch front wheel and Triumphs premium quality and finish, the two new models look set to raise the bar even higher for performance and style in the Scrambler category. The new Scrambler 1200 X delivers the same exceptional core capability, commanding riding position, and torque-rich performance Scrambler customers love, combined with a generous specification of equipment and technology. Built to be more accessible, the Scrambler 1200 X has a seat height of 820mm, reducing to 795mm with the accessory low seat, a generous dedicated specification that offers exceptional functionality at a more competitive price and a 10,000mile (16,000km) service interval to lower the cost of ownership. The cool and capable Scrambler 1200 XE also hits the road in the new year sporting updates including latest-generation Brembo Stylema calipers, new suspension with enhanced adjustability, enhanced styling details and improved touring capability. Steve Sargent, Chief Product Officer said: Built for both on-road and off-road adventures, the new Scrambler 1200 XE sets an even higher bar for performance, capability, and modern classic style. The Scrambler 1200 X is a new choice for our customers, optimised to deliver the specification riders have asked for, with a lower seat height, even more competitive pricing, and an even better road ride than the previous Scrambler 1200 XC. With a high specification and technology that customers value, the new Scrambler 1200 X features: New MarzocchiTM suspension, 45mm USD forks and RSU with piggyback reservoirs and preload adjustability delivering 170mm wheel travel optimised for road riding Advanced rider technology (not fitted to the previous Scrambler XC) to make the Scrambler X even better on the road, including new optimised cornering ABS, switchable optimised cornering traction control Multifunction instruments with an integrated TFT display Five riding modes, including Off-road All-LED lighting, including signature DRL headlight, compact taillight, and new slim contemporary indicators (Position light rather than DRL in US, CN, JP) USB charging Accessory activated connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, Bluetooth phone & music operation. Updates for the Scrambler 1200 XE in 2024 include: Updated latest generation Brembo Stylema radial monoblock calipers with twin floating 320mm discs, and single piston Nissin caliper on the rear Optimised MarzocchiTM 45mm USD forks and twin-spring RSUs with piggyback reservoirs New optimised MarzocchiTM suspension with long 250mm wheel travel front and rear, fully adjustable - with enhanced adjustability Revised intake & exhaust headers delivering a broader spread of torque through the upper rev range Enhanced styling details including stylish new slimline LED indicators and new compact LED taillight Improved touring capability with accessory high screen and rugged luggage system with tail bag accessory options. THRILLING PERFORMANCE Both models sport the same 1200cc Bonneville twin engine and torque-rich Scrambler tune with a new, single 50mm throttle body and revised exhaust headers, delivering improved flow and a broader spread of torque through the upper rev-range, from 5,000 RPM through to the redline. The 2024 models have also been precisely tuned to deliver the perfect balance of power delivery for both on and off-road riding. Peak power now arrives slightly earlier in the rev range, reaching 90 PS at 7,000 RPM, with peak torque of 110 Nm also arriving earlier, at 4,250 RPM. The unmistakable high-specification twin-exhaust system is completed by brushed stainless steel silencers, delivering that trademark deep and characterful Scrambler tone. PREMIUM SPECIFICATION Both variants share the same dedicated tubular steel Scrambler frame, as well as high specification side-laced stainless steel wire spoked wheels with lightweight and durable aluminium rims. The two models provide key ergonomic differences, including different handlebar designs, with the XE measuring 65mm wider than the X ensuring greater control on more challenging off-road terrain. Reversible risers enable riders to adjust the handlebar position, and the XE also features a removable spacer, for a 10mm height adjustment. Expanding ergonomics even further, the XE also boasts adjustable foot controls to suit a variety of riding styles and footwear. Both bikes feature a twin-sided, premium cast aluminium swing arm. At 579mm, the XE has a 32mm longer swingarm and a longer wheelbase than the X, enhancing control and confidence on difficult off-road terrain, while the Xs shorter wheelbase contributes to an agile and responsive road-ride. These bikes are also equipped with top of the range Metzeler tyres. The X benefits from the road-focused, dual-purpose Karoo Street, while the XE variant runs on Metzeler Tourance, contributing to its unparalleled balance of road and off-road capability. For even more extreme off-road capability, the Triumph-approved Michelin Anakee Wild is the tyre of choice. Both models are kitted out with high specification suspension. The X variant features road biased MarzocchiTM 45mm cartridge forks at the front and suspension units supporting at the rear. The rear suspension units come with piggy-back reservoirs and adjustable preload, allowing customers to fine tune their riding experience on the road and beyond. The XE has a more off-road focused setup, with optimised MarzocchiTM 45mm forks and premium, twin spring MarzocchiTM suspension units which are fully adjustable and have more incrementality in adjustment for compression and rebound, giving even greater control. This optimised suspension provides a significant 250mm of wheel travel front and rear for unparalleled off-road capability and ground clearance. STATE OF THE ART EQUIPMENT When it comes to braking, both models feature state of the art equipment for guaranteed efficiency across road and dirt. The XE boasts powerful latest generation BremboTM Stylema radial Monoblock front callipers with twin 320mm floating discs, providing class-leading braking performance. While the front is taken care of, the rear is held down by a 255mm disk with a Nissin caliper, further maximising braking performance. The X model features twin 310mm floating front discs, with Nissin twin-piston axial callipers. Meanwhile, the rear is supported by a 255mm rear disc and a Nissin floating brake caliper, to deliver a confident braking performance on the road. The front brake lever position can also be adjusted to the riders preference on both models. FEATURING NEW AND IMPROVED RIDER-FOCUSED TECHNOLOGY The Scrambler X and XE both feature optimised cornering ABS and optimised cornering traction control, regulating intervention to deliver and maintain optimum traction at any lean angle. Five rider modes are available for the Scrambler 1200 X, each with their own dedicated throttle response and specific ABS and traction control settings. Riders can choose from Sport, Road, Rain, Off-Road and Rider Configurable, while the XE also has Off-Road Pro to allow the experienced rider complete uninterrupted control for the most challenging off-road riding. Greater riding stability is achieved thanks to a high specification Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) which has been developed in conjunction with Continental. This system enables the optimisation of cornering ABS and Traction control, automatically selecting the correct setting by measuring roll, pitch, yaw, and acceleration rates to calculate lean angle. With particular focus on enhancing the overall riding experience, the X and XE are both equipped with a torque assist clutch. The Scrambler 1200 XE features integrated and customisable full colour TFT instruments. Two minimal and stylish information layout design themes are available, each with a further three options to change the level of information displayed. The choice between a high or low contrast display is also available, as well as personalised start up screen to make the latest Scrambler XE feel more like your own. The Scrambler 1200 X features a dedicated hybrid multi-function LCD/TFT display, incorporated in an elegantly styled circular instrument dial. This compact, and minimal display can be easily read at a glance. UNMISTAKABLE SCRAMBLER CUSTOM STYLE Both models feature the key elements that make the Scrambler simply unmistakable, from their distinctive silhouettes to the signature high-level twin exhaust design and beautifully sculpted fuel tank. Both models feature a classic one-piece ribbed bench seat, in black for the XE and brown for the X and both boast enhanced styling details in the form of a new slimline indicator design and compact taillight housing. The bikes are complete with a variety of striking finishes and details, including sculpted side panels with brushed aluminium Scrambler 1200 badge, the iconic Triumph triangle tank badge, a brushed aluminium Monza-style filler cap and brushed stainless strap. The XE is finished with brushed aluminium mudguards, while the X features high quality painted mudguards. There are three unique colour schemes available for each model. The Scrambler 1200 XE will be available in contemporary Phantom Black & Storm Grey, which features red accents, the bold new Baja Orange & Phantom Black, or ever-popular Sapphire Black. The Scrambler 1200 X is available in rich Carnival Red, cool Ash Grey, or classic Sapphire Black. TAILOR YOUR SCRAMBLER More than 70 genuine accessories are available to bring an even greater touring capability, ranging from heated grips, 35 litre tail bag and high Dakar screen, to high-level front mudguard, handlebar brace and stainless-steel engine bars. The complete rugged luggage system now offers 102 litres of total stowage capacity. THE ORIGINAL SCRAMBLERS AND TODAYS SCRAMBLER SCENE The new Scrambler 1200 line-up can trace its roots directly back to the original Scrambler scene of the early 1950s, where Triumph played a pivotal role and set the template for what made a Scrambler great. Building the leading bikes of the day, stripped back with straight-through twin pipes fitted high or low slung and chopped off Triumphs were the original desert sleds. These inspired the worlds first production scramblers, with the Bonneville T-120TT and the TR6SC. In 2006, with the launch of the very first modern era Scrambler, Triumph again delivered the genesis of a new category. This triggered the world of Scramblers we see today and a whole new global fan base, from urban riders to movie stars, even featuring in the latest Bond film, No Time to Die. ON THE ROAD The Scrambler 1200 X will start from 11,895 OTR, and the Scrambler 1200 XE will start from 13,295 OTR. Orders can be placed now at Pure Triumph, with bikes arriving for retail from January 2024. VIEW 1200 XE VIEW 1200 X Wed, 04 Oct 2023 00:00:00 BST https://www.puretriumph.co.uk/news/triumph-trident-660-review-revisit-the-seventies Lets be clear this bike has been on the list for some time and Ill admit I really couldnt get motivated. It turns out, that was a mistake. Heres why: The bs lockdown skewed our Pure Triumph test schedule. I had planned to nish the 1200 Tiger Explorer test I started in 2022 and I still will. Spoiler: its epic. But it wasnt back from a test ride when I went to pick it up, so, rather reluctantly, I committed to the 660 Trident. It wasnt that I didnt want to more that its not something that lled me full of desire in the way that the 1200 does. But its a really important bike for Triumph. And, as it turns out, for motorcycling as well as for would-be motorcyclists. Again, heres why: It's simple. Its analogue. Its relatively aordable. And, surprisingly, it rides really well in a benign, manageable sort of way. BeMer than that, it encourages experienced riders to ride it hard most of the time. Scratch that; ALL of them for me. I am a racer and a helicopter pilot so warming up an engine any engine is hard-wired into me. But as soon as the oil was - is - warm on the Trident 660, it was - is - game on. And if you are experienced, it will be for you too. First impressions upon picking it up it feels like the Honda Grom I briey owned in 2019. It is any well it is, compared to the motorcycles I normally frequent. I found myself immediately winding the throttle around to the stop oYen. Even when the bike was cranked over, leaving a corner or a trac island because the power delivery is completely linear. In fact there isnt a great deal or torque, for that matter. There is just an ever-increasing turbine-like whine from the 80 hp triple and a steadily sweeping rev counter needle. Actually, there isnt a needle its just a series of LCD increments. The Trident has two rider modes I cant think you will use anything other than Sport unless it snows and I confess, thats where I left it. But what of the bikes place in the scheme of things after all, its 80 BHP hardly a beginners bike? I think this is a tricky rider demographic in 2023 and heres why: If you were are a style monkey when youve passed your test, a twin would probably be your preference and I think you might nd the extra few grand required. I would, for sure. BUT if it was a practical ride that appealed to you, in many ways the Trident might appeal even more its nimbleness, fuel economy, and ease of ride might swing the decision in favour of the triple and the 660s willingness to rev. would denitely seduce the rider looking for a sports proposal. Trident suggests the ton-up kids of yesteryear the test bikes black and white vibe keeps with the edgy style but, thats the only way it does otherwise, its a pussycat. The Nissin brakes particularly suit this bike, wiping o speed with ease granted there is less speed to wipe o and weight - and the relatively budget suspension easily coped with my 90KG weight better than my 2010 865 Scrambler by a margin. My issue is I have become spoiled by the brand after the 1200 RRs electronic Ohlins, anything else seems, well less. It was whilst eating up a particularly tedious piece of speed-trapped motorway, that I discovered the Tridents strange foible holding a steady state throttle, about 6200 rpm caught the fuel map napping I imagine in pursuit of the bikes incredible emissions and mpg, the willing little triple ran very lean for a few hundred rpm. Lets be clear, under hard acceleration, the bike fuels perfectly. Im willing to bet that this could be reprogrammed in seconds by an engineer but, I guess, at the expense of the ultimate possible CO2s. Could this be a characteristic of the one injector for all three cylinders push to keep build costs in check? But I doubt it. Small beer spoils nothing, just fascinating for a test rider like me. A novice would never notice. For me, the little Triumph was very comfortable regardless of what type of riding I threw in its direction. Commute? Warms up quickly, brilliant for ltering, super light clutch the usual Triumph Swiss watch mechanism gearbox in short, easy. Scratching? Needs a pipe primarily cause this motor would wail through something like a titanium Akrapovic or even a tuned steel Arrow plus, as you are going to be playing racers when the weathers good, you need sleepy car drivers to know you are there. Touring? Didnt try it, but I did knock o a hundred miles in one shot and, like always, despite the modest cruising speed, a small cockpit fairing would be a game changer on a long run the wind blast as you wind the motor out will eventually give you neck and shoulder soreness. Thats the point of a bike like this; it should be able to do ANYTHING well and it generally does. Which makes it kind of odd to me, in 2023. A new bike these days is anything BUT utilitarian it is generally a particular lifestyle choice. Moto GP wannabee ? Thatll be our Moto2 765. Atlas Mountains? Take a Tiger. London Grammar? You need some sort of caf racer Bonneville, we have many avours. So who buys the Trident Im not sure. My partner threw a leg over it shes 5 2 and has just decided, after us being together for 12 years to get a bike licence. The Trident would be a perfect rst big bike for her. But, despite all of my suggestions to the contrary, she decided that she wanted a classic Ducati 696 Monster. Because she liked the style. Forget about the lumpy power delivery, heavy clutch, etc. The rst Tridents were delivered during lockdown to riders who hadnt even tested them and that speaks volumes about the power and trust riders have for this iconic brand. My 2010 865 Scrambler, though I loved it, left something to be desired when it came to component quality. This entry-level bike from Hinckley is MUCH better built, with now proven technology. During my test ride, I kept getting a sense of Dj vu. Strange? Eventually, I worked it out. The 660 felt like the CBR400RR I imported from JPN way back in 1998. That bike is now owned by my good friend, British Ladies Rally Champion, Barbara Armstrong. The compact triple felt in many ways like Hondas iconic baby Blade spinning freely in pursuit of BHP. But, even more so, the Trident then took me back to 2002 and 3, when I built my turbine hours ying the Kiss FM/Mountain Dew Jet Ranger, ying the trac reporter Cmmdr. Chuck Street around Los Angeles, whilst he shouted the trac news to a disposed of people 1200 feet below. The Trident engine sound is EXACTLY like that of a Jet Ranger Turbine engine turning over at 50,000 rpm. I kid you not. Theres your demographic: Retired helicopter pilots with a hankering for the old days. Thats me then and, clearly, many others too. More than just the name turns the clock back; this bike has enough of everything to work in any decade Ive ridden through and has the chops for the next one to come. Dont dismiss it until youve tried it. And, if you buy it, I have a suspicion you might keep it for longer than Triumph would want you to. Its actually all you NEED, as opposed to all you WANT. Its a bike for intelligent people. Steve Deeks. June 2023 Fri, 01 Sep 2023 00:00:00 BST https://www.puretriumph.co.uk/news/active-preload-reduction-launches-for-tiger-1200 Triumph Motorcycles has released a brand-new enhancement to its advanced Showa semi-active suspension across the all-new Tiger 1200 range, which was first launched in November 2021. The new Active Preload Reduction feature has been developed to reduce the rear suspension preload as the Tiger 1200 slows, allowing the seat heights to be reduced. For the GT, GT Pro and GT Explorer there are currently two seat height settings 850mm and 870mm, while for the Rally Pro and Rally Explorer these are 875mm and 895mm. Through the accessory-fit low seat option, customers are already able to lower the seat position by an additional 20mm, giving a lowest seat height of 830mm on the GT family and 855mm on the Rally family. The new Active Preload Reduction feature allows these seat heights to be reduced further. Depending on the combined weight of the rider, pillion and luggage this could lower the riding height by up to 20mm when the motorcycle comes to a standstill, offering the rider greater ease and confidence. New customers will be able to access this new minimum preload feature by simply pressing the Home button on the switch cube for one second. Chief Product Officer Steve Sargent said: The new Tiger 1200 range is already a global success, attracting new fans and increasing Triumphs share of this highly competitive market. This new feature can be enabled on the fly, lowering the centre of gravity at slower speeds, making it even more accessible, offering riders more confidence at slow speeds and better contact with the ground as they come to stop. The new update will be available to existing Tiger 1200 customers via their dealer at their next service. The all-new Tiger 1200 was designed to be the worlds most capable, agile and manoeuvrable large capacity adventure motorcycle, and the range includes the GT family, tailor made for the perfect road-focused adventure ride, and the Rally family, perfect for an all-terrain adventure. The Tiger 1200 GT Explorer with its 30 litre tank was even the bike of choice for Enduro World Champion Ivan Cervantes when he broke the record for riding the furthest in 24 hours on a motorcycle. Thu, 24 Aug 2023 00:00:00 BST https://www.puretriumph.co.uk/news/new-triumph-tiger-900-aragn-editions-launched In July 2022, Ivn Cervantes secured victory in the Baja Aragn, one of the most demanding races known to two wheels. One year on, Triumph celebrates this stand-out performance with the launch of the Tiger 900 Rally Aragn and the Tiger 900 GT Aragn. Available in 2023 only, these special editions each feature unique liveries and specification. Piloting a Tiger 900 Rally Pro, Cervantes dominated the 450km race, crossing the line an impressive 1 hour and 6 minutes ahead of his rivals, demonstrating the Tigers ability to endure some of the harshest terrain at an elite level of competition. Both Tiger 900 Aragn editions deliver all the specification, technology and capability that the market-leading Tiger 900 GT Pro and Rally Pro are known for. Their advanced performance, accompanied by two fresh new looks, preserves the ultimate feel of aggression and attitude, while also adding that race-ready edge. The Tiger 900 Rally Aragn dons a triple colour of Matt Phantom Black, Matt Graphite and Crystal White, featuring distinct Racing Yellow accents paired seamlessly with Triumph Tiger and Aragn Edition detailing, as well as a new and unique twin colour seat design. The GT Aragn follows suit with Triumph Tiger and Aragn Edition detailing, in addition to a refreshing twin colour seat design, but instead features a triple colour scheme of Diablo Red, Matt Phantom Black and Crystal White to echo a bold and elegant feel. Both models continue to boast an impressive 87 Nm of peak torque at 7,250 rpm, as well as a slip and assist clutch, to deliver a rich triple performance. Maintaining a lightweight modular frame and high specification suspension, these new additions to the Tiger family are tailored to optimise both road and off-road potential with the ultimate agile and dynamic handling experience. Further maximising handling, the GT Aragn Edition carries fully adjustable 45mm USD Marzocchi cartridge forks with electronically adjustable RSU, whereas the Rally Aragn Edition features Showa forks tuned for even greater off-road performance. Engine protection bars are fitted as standard to both Aragn Editions, while the Rally Aragn Edition also has fuel tank protection bars as standard to top off the ultimate competitive aesthetic.

Riding a Tiger 1200 GT Explorer on the High-Speed Ring at the Nard Technical Center in Italy, Ivn travelled more than 4012km in a 24 hour period, beating the previous record of 3406km by a huge margin of more than 600km. The record attempt was witnessed and validated by a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS adjudicator on 30th April 2023, with a final confirmed distance of 4012.53km a distance equivalent to travelling from London to the Great Pyramid of Giza in 24 hours! THE MAN Ivn Cervantes is a 5 times Enduro World Champion, 21 times Spanish Enduro Champion, and 5 times Spanish Motocross Champion. In July 2021, Ivn was announced as one of Triumphs new Off-Road ambassadors, helping to develop the upcoming range of motocross and enduro bikes. Since joining the Triumph team, Ivn has seen great success in riding and competing on Triumph adventure motorcycles, sealing wins at the Baja Aragn, 1000 Dunas Raid, and Basella Maxi-Trail Race. In preparation for the record attempt, in addition to intensive physical training on his own Tiger 1200 Rally Pro, Ivn began carefully planning his nutrition and sleep strategy, in partnership with Professor Andrew Bagshaw at the University of Birmingham. THE MOTORCYCLE The motorcycle used for the attempt was a Tiger 1200 GT Explorer, chosen at random from the production line at Triumphs factory in Hinckley, UK. No special modifications were made to the bike, other than completing the recommended running in and first service schedule before the attempt was undertaken. The Tiger 1200 family has been designed to deliver the ultimate in adventure bike touring capability, with exceptional comfort and unbeatable character. For the record attempt, features such as the 30 litre fuel tank and excellent wind protection were invaluable in ensuring Ivn could continue riding, whatever challenges he encountered along the way. Heated grips and seats provided additional comfort during the cold early-morning hours and unexpected downpours of rain, while the powerful T-Plane triple engine and advanced electronics provided effortless power and control. High-intensity LED lights ensured Ivn always had exceptional visibility when riding, even in the complete darkness of the remote testing facility at Nard. Underlining the excellent performance and reliability of the Tiger 1200, the only maintenance required on the bike was a single, planned tyre change half way through the attempt, where the standard fit Metzeler TOURANCE Next tyres were refreshed as the rain started and night began to fall. THE RECORD The existing GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title of 3406.17km was achieved by American Carl Reese on 26th February 2017, recording an average speed over 24 hours of 141.9km/h. Riding consistently at speeds of over 200km/h at the Nard Technical Center in Italy, Ivn surpassed the existing record with an incredible 5 hours to spare in the 24 hour window. Not content to simply beat the record, he set his sights on defining a new benchmark for this challenge 4000km. In the 5 hours that followed, he proceeded to ride a further 606km essentially matching the existing record then continuing to ride the equivalent of the width of France in addition. The record attempt was witnessed by an official GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS adjudicator, who validated the final distance travelled in 24 hours as 4012.53km, with an average speed of 167.79km/h.

Tue, 04 Apr 2023 00:00:00 BST https://www.puretriumph.co.uk/news/te-1-wins-electric-motorcycle-of-the-year Triumph Motorcycles prototype TE-1 has won the Electric Motorbike of the Year award at the 2023 GQ Car Awards. Paul Henderson, one of the judges: With a 060mph time of 3.6 seconds, top speed of 135mph, a 100-mile range on a single charge, and a 0-to-80 per cent charge time of just 20 minutes, Triumphs first fully electric prototype has exceeded all expectations to set new standards in the sector. Triumph says they have no plans to put the TE-1 into production, but the technological advances, battery development and electronic breakthroughs will all feature in the British motorcycle brands next gen (or should that be first gen) production EV. In other words, the best is yet to come. Steve Sargent, Chief Product Officer, "We are delighted to have our efforts in developing an exciting, high performance electric motorcycle recognised at the GQ Car Awards. There are significant challenges in bringing electric motorcycles to the mass market but the TE-1 is a crucial step towards Triumphs development and understanding of electric vehicle technology." The bike is a product of a unique collaboration between Triumph Motorcycles, Williams Advanced Engineering, Integral Powertrain Ltd, and WMG at the University of Warwick and was funded by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles through Innovate UK. It was set up to serve as an educational tool to allow Triumph to research into potential future electric motorcycles. TE-1 underwent four phases in its two-year development, reaching completion in July 2022. With a throttle action and torque delivery map directly engineered from a Speed Triple 1200 RS, the track testing and dynamic rider assessments of the TE-1 prototype demonstrator deliver a level of handling that matches Triumphs current triple cylinder internal combustion sports performance motorcycles Daytona 200 champion racer Brandon Paasch participated in the final testing phase, both in engine performance evaluation and also with the final set-up of the prototype through track testing. The throttle response on the TE-1 is kind of incredible, its very torquey and when you first touch the throttle its instant power, which is obviously what I love as a motorcycle racer I love when its super-torquey and picks up right away, so for me it was a really great experience said Brandon. I got to peg this thing all the way from zero to 100% throttle and its unbelievably quick, it pulls like crazy.

The Location: Popularly known as Little Tibet, Spiti is nestled in the Himalayan Mountain range in Himachal Pradesh. Accessible only during summer, Spiti is as remote as it gets. Surrounded by mountains and glaciers, villages perched on mountain crests, quaint old monasteries, crystal clear rivers and streams, prayer flags fluttering in the wind and monks in their robes evoke strong comparisons with Tibet and leaves tourists to this remote region spellbound. Spiti literally means middle land as it is bordered by Tibet in the east, Ladakh to the north, Kinnaur to the south east and Lahaul and Kullu to the south. Situated at an average height of around 12,500 feet above mean sea level, Spiti lies along the Himalayan river of the same name. Cut off from the tourist map because of its remoteness, Spiti valley has retained its pristine charm.

I fully anticipated this ending, but it happened by a totally different means to that which I expected. I thought it would be Vitesse, pure and simple. Heres how Because this is the fastest real World road bike I have ever ridden, PURE and simple. It is bonkers quick. But heres the rub; it also may be the safest. How so? Brilliant dynamics, to me, beyond reproach. The balance of this bike is as near perfect as I have experienced on a road bike. Note; I didnt say perfect comfort excellent for the type but I couldnt use this as my only motorcycle, an hour in and my wrists were aching enough to make me think it was cappuccino time. But handling, grip, braking, traction, drive, direction changes ? Perfect. Yes really. Maybe if I was a bike RACER, I would have a different perspective. Im a car racer but I do have nearly forty years on bikes to use as a datum. Weirdly I tested, more or less, the same bike in its naked variant last year and didnt like it nearly as much. Actually I didnt feel quite safe on it, felt flighty, didnt get it. 180 PS in a naked felt too much, (hard to believe, I know ), but there it is. It wasnt that pleasant, exciting but I felt no real connection. I remember writing that I thought the earlier 1050 naked was the better bike, enjoyed that much more. But in the RR it makes perfect sense. The electric Ohlins are the best suspension kit front and rear I have ever used on a motorcycle, period. Combine that with a riding position that the chassis needs, absolutely, weight over the front wheel, a sublime front-rear balance. I concluded that 180 PS DEMANDS this riding position, its not an option. Probably why the naked disappoints. First off, its an extremely pretty bike. I love the fact that it has shades of retro about the fairing and mono headlamp even tho I think this makes it difficult for the brand to sell. Why? Because, generally, retros are about 110 PS and have good, but not Moto GP, chassis. This, on the other hand, apart from having a less extreme riding position, has a true superbike chassis and that confuses the market place as to who its made for. I think the race bike chic boys want race bike wanabee looks aka R1, GSX, Panigale, etc. not a caf racer style, armed with a cutting edge chassis. Dealers have told me as much. This is a shame, as race bike look puts off old-timers like me or people who ACTUALLY race even cars, the last thing I want is to look like on my day off is a Rossi reject away from track I want to have something pretty to park on the harbour wall at Mousehole, something that doesnt look like Ive just survived the Suzuka 8 hrs. In short, this is a superbike for grown-ups it is a rare thing, a retro vibe on top of the most superb piece of engineering. The fact that the market doesnt get it isnt Triumphs fault, its the markets stupidity. Because it is uniformly brilliant. Detailing on the RR is routinely superb too I noted when I put her away in my microgarage in lowlight, the controls on the bars all have ambient lighting around them for easy recognition very nice touch, naturally the thing is infinitely programmable it didnt rain during my tenure, so the settings stayed the same Sport. Triumph havent skimped on the aesthetics here either when you look down into the fairing bubble, you can see two carbonfibre winglets very swish. Plus I noted that the bike came with bespoke engine cylinder protectors from the factory, nicely engraved with the Triumph legend. Classy. Probably the biggest surprise comes in the pipe department normally, on a hyper sport, this has to be replaced BEFORE you take delivery, with an Arrow system or similar. Here its a much trickier call because this thing comes fitted with a pipe that is neither too ugly, nor, when the valves open, particularly too quiet. And its also quite nicely engineered, especially if you get a little mirror and look around the backside of it. More crucially, back pressure-wise, it just works, shut down the torque is utterly fluid, wide throttle openings plus enough gas speed and the second valve must open, because the exhaust note gains an immediate two descibles. The intake roar is now pronounced and the bike tears forward with a seamless, linear surge of torque. Trust me, this bike will have you holding it in a lower gear and doing roll-ons just to experience the theatre of it. Very nice. Strangely, or, maybe not, the big triple engine has two distinct powerbands despite having ample everything, everywhere. Jumping off a really fast cross-country run on the Diavel immediately before, I spent the first sixty miles changing gear at 6500 rpm without realising it, honestly. I only fully realised that I was short-shifting when I was studying the DJI footage pointing forward, to be exact. The howl of power at 5-7000 rpm was such I was dumping gears in two-four time not realising how far away I really was from the redline. An easy mistake-a-to-make-a Trust me, when I am testing something that accelerates as quickly as this does, I am NEVER looking anywhere but well ahead of myself down the road. Second run I rectified this by, a couple of times, rinsing it, but, if you are using 10 500 in every gear on the road well, you ARE John McGuiness. Or dead. Or you will be Fuelling is absolutely spot-on I was reminded about this as my next test bike was a new Monster 937 Testastretta which everytime I grabbed a new gear fractionally ran weak enough to interrupt the flow of power, as I wound it on. None of that here as the clutch bit the thrust was uninterrupted. Very impressive, given that every manufacturer is chasing emissions and mileage in set-up. Fuelling has become a Triumph staple as has the ultraslick gearbox I could even get neutral from first or second stationary at the lights try that with a Diavel Ive lost count of the time Ive treaded the grapes over and over with an increasingly sticky clutch, finding first second first second, etc.etc. Something very trick about Triumphs modern gearboxes this one has the flat-shifter as standard Ive never used that like using launch control in a GT-R why would you? Back to Michael Dunlop People are going to think I am in Triumphs back pocket, but I am really struggling to think what this bikes issues are. Im not that fussed about the graphics on the instrument panel they are brilliantly clear, but the tiny little displays that tell you miles in reserve are impossible for this age demographic to read fast but I am being picky Looking down into the bubble reminded me of two bikes I have owned my 748 SPS because that is the view, tiny, focussed and beautiful. Here is the stupid thing Id take the analogue instruments of the 748 anyday but I cant dispute SPEED is easier to read digitally. RPM was better read on the 748. The other bike was my NC29 Baby Blade for the beautiful execution. Mirrors showed a good percentage of my arms but are undoubtedly aero in design, pedals are sited exactly right for my 5 10.5 and shrinking frame - and the tank, usefully, worked well as a surface on which to brace myself clenching whats left of my torso muscles. Literally, at slow speeds I would squeeze my stomach tight, and take the weight of my wrists. Practical. It was with some sadness I headed back to PURE to drop the RR back and this is where she and I met our Valhalla - the boys from the Federation. A last summers day and I burbled up the road leading out of my village, warming her up at 20 MPH, foolishly clad only in lightweight t-shirt. As the video demonstrates, just out of the junction I started slowing as I saw in the distance lights skid marks a car on its side with suspension torn off. Two cars had collided at the point a side road meets the B-road, a really heavy, nasty looking shunt, ambulances, three pandas, etc. I crept forward big, burly Neighbourhood Support officer waves me on I go to go, roll on then hes all stop signs and agitation. Damn I pull over, engine ticking over roughly, still cold. Then he goes into the most theatrical rant, mainly for the benefit of the full-time crew watching, whom I guess hes trying to impress. I can barely hear any of this nonsense, the sound of the irritable triple ticking over covering his noises. In the end, my patience snaps, I thumb the off switch, and let fly. Interestingly this brings the entire wolf pack to surround the bubble, as you can see on the film. Little guy on the left is the concern here, not the big shouty fellow. Little weasel is packing, and, he tries initially to escalate the situation. Bad form boys. Im not a juvenile or an out of towner and I do not tolerate or back down from - bullying. Never have. Never will. As you can hear. In defence of the initial officer, he was man enough to apologise for the misunderstanding that defused my anger. I even shook his hand. The shouty gunman, he is part of the UK Police reputational problem. Lucky I had my camera on, to capture road test footage. I never do that, except when testing. Made me think. I rarely get stopped, but as you will hear, it made them think twice about their behaviour. IF I had been young, or, not from these parts very quickly I might have found myself off the bike, and sitting in the back of the patrol car. Less than ideal. Final word on this when they did release me, the little ferret released me straight into oncoming traffic. And also, when all FOUR mob-handed me, who was looking after the accident traffic? Handed the bike back, with a a funny thing happened to me on the way to the dealership Triumphs Speed Triple 1200 RR Fun-Fun-Fun Fri, 23 Sep 2022 00:00:00 BST https://www.puretriumph.co.uk/news/andrea-astaritacapturing-the-speed-triple-1200-rs To introduce the Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS with its new striking Matt Baja Orange bodywork and complementary Silver Ice and Graphite graphics, Triumph has partnered with Andrea Astarita, a London based Photographer, known for his striking photographic style. When briefed with capturing the Matt Baja Orange scheme, Andrea selected locations that exuded contemporary architecture, with some also featuring bold colour and striking lighting, which would complement the motorcycle. The bright orange railings of the adjacent location, effortlessly harmonised with the striking orange scheme of the Speed Triple 1200 RS and the unique floor lighting illuminated the motorcycle, providing the perfect amount of light and casting shadow. Capturing the bike at night in this unique location, resulted in a dramatic contrast between the black sky and the brilliant orange of the bike and its backdrop. Andreas dramatic photographic style, automotive specialism, and extensive knowledge of Londons extraordinary contemporary locations complemented the aggressive, sharp style and brilliant scheme of the Motorcycle. Andrea Astarita, better known on Instagram and TikTok as @aa.vision, is a London based photographer, who has been in the industry for around five years. Andrea has established a specialty in automotive photography this, along with his striking and contemporary style, has earned him commissions with some of the top automotive brands. Andreas photography career began when he purchased a camera to enable him to create daily content in his spare time and to pursue a career in a more creative field. What started as a part time venture soon become a full-time career. Andreas passion for photography and desire to inspire others has led to him create bitesize how to photography tutorials on TikTok, earning him a mass following on the platform. As well as being behind the camera capturing motorcycles, Andrea is an avid rider and has over six years of riding experience. For Andrea riding is a form of escapism and something that is always very therapeutic, and he states, there is nothing else that makes him feel so free of worry, unless of course you are riding a classic bike, then there is always adventure there, he laughs. Andreas first ever motorcycle was a 2006 Triumph Street Triple 675 very on-brand. This bike is his favourite-ever Triumph motorcycle due to the enjoyment that he got out of riding it and its sentimental value. Andreas most unforgettable ride was travelling across Switzerlands iconic Furca Pass with its twisty roads and spectacular mountains. However, his all-time favourite place to ride is through the streets of London, at night a controversial statement Andrea laughs. He expressed there is nothing better than riding with friends around the capitals empty streets at night whilst the city is alight it is something very special. The next step in Andreas career and personal life is to follow his dream of travelling the world in his dream car, with motorcycle in tow capturing his adventures along the way. Andrea plans to document his travelling lifestyle as he explores the globe, sharing his epic adventures on social media.

Thu, 16 Dec 2021 00:00:00 GMT https://www.puretriumph.co.uk/news/historic-discovery-of-1901-prototype-triumph Following the recent announcement of their plans to celebrate next years 120th anniversary of the most iconic British motorcycle brand and the production of the millionth Hinckley Triumph produced, Triumph announce the landmark discovery of the very first Triumph prototype ever built. An amazing historic find, discovered and restored by leading vintage Triumph collector Dick Shepherd, the 1901 Prototype rewrites the history books, adding a whole new chapter prior to Triumphs official sales starting in 1902. Long rumoured to exist and referenced within advertising and reviews that appeared in 1901, this first Triumph prototype was developed from a standard Triumph bicycle, with an engine provided by Belgian manufacturer Minerva, in order to generate interest and gauge the publics demand for a Triumph motorcycle. Dick Shepherd said Having been approached by a friend of a collector, who had sadly recently passed away, to evaluate an old Triumph I was incredibly excited to discover that the bike they had featured unique details that were not present on the first production Triumphs. Along with the bike, the collector had also received a letter from Triumph, dated in 1937, that outlined the bikes unique origins and provided key details. With an engine number that is consistent with references in Minervas engine records of a 1901 first Triumph engagement the historic significance of this motorcycle became incredibly clear. As a lifelong passionate fan of the history and achievements of this incredible British brand, to have discovered this amazing survivor and restored it to the glorious condition it would have been in when it first went on display in 1901, has given me an immense amount of satisfaction. First unveiled at the UKs Motorcycle Live show the 1901 prototype will feature in dedicated event at Triumphs Factory Visitor Experience on the 14th December, where the machine will be ridden in public for the very first time in over 100 years. This incredible, historic motorcycle will then be on display, alongside the millionth Hinckley Triumph, in a new, specially created 120-year anniversary display, hosted within Triumphs Factory Visitor Experience. The Triumph Factory Visitor Experience is free to visit and is located at Triumphs HQ in Hinckley, England and is open daily Wednesday through Sunday, from 10am - 4.30pm.

Perfectly illustrating the quality and attention to detail that Triumph is renowned for, and only available for one year, these new Gold Line Editions are premium, desirable and exclusive. The Art of Gold Lining The industry-leading hand-painted gold lining expertise of Triumphs paint shop is a skill that takes incredible patience, years of experience and the steadiest of hands. Many of the new Gold Line Edition designs start with a two-colour base scheme, where the joining point between the two colours is flattened down. The gold line is then carefully hand-applied, usually in one continuous stroke by the artist, using a very specialised soft-bristled sword-liner brush. Once the pin stripe is in place, its sealed against the elements with a final clear coat of lacquer. The paints used for the gold lining are specially formulated by mixing a powered colour with a cellulose lacquer for exactly the right consistency, as normal automotive paint is too thin for brush work. Just like every hand-lined Triumph, the artist adds the finishing detail to each Gold Line Edition by signing their work with their initials, providing a personal touch that makes every hand-painted Triumph special. Bonneville T100 Gold Line Edition The Bonneville T100 is the perfect entry-point to Triumphs acclaimed Modern Classics range, with confidence-inspiring handling, a punchy 900cc twin engine, and a high level of specification including cartridge forks, Brembo front brake with ABS, torque assist clutch and switchable traction control, and of course all of the Bonnevilles signature style.

The Bonneville T100 Gold Line Edition features a beautiful Silver Ice fuel tank, front and rear mudguards, and side panels, combined with a classic Competition Green fuel tank infill, edged with hand-painted gold lining and subtle gold line logo.

Completing the look, the accessory fly screen is now available in a matching Silver Ice. Street Scrambler Gold Line Edition Triumphs stylish and accessible urban Street Scrambler is powered by the latest generation Euro 5 compliant High Torque 900cc twin engine, with a unique Scrambler tune. It delivers strong power and torque exactly where you need it, with 65PS peak power at 7,250rpm and 80Nm peak torque at 3,250rpm.

Everyone at Triumph is incredibly proud to have played a part in achieving such a momentous moment in the modern history of this iconic brand. Over the 31 years since we re-launched Triumph with a new line of British designed motorcycles in Cologne in 1990, we have shared so many great moments with our fans across the world. From returning to the TT champions arena, to entering the MotoGP paddock with our Moto2 Engine partnership to supporting the biggest global riding event and its great cause for health and wellbeing with the Distinguished Gentlemans Ride, to mention only a few. Triumphs success has always stemmed from the passion and commitment we share with our riders. Whilst the last year has been challenging for all of us, this passion and commitment has driven Triumph to even greater heights, including the successful entry into new categories with the Trident 660 and Tiger Sport 660. Over the last three decades Triumph has maintained sustained and significant investment in our people, our partners and our in-house design, engineering and manufacturing capabilities, in order to grow the reach and reputation of this iconic British brand. This investment in home grown talent, both in the UK and around the world, matched by the passion we share with our riders for delivering the complete and perfect motorcycle, has seen the brand go from strength to strength, achieving the most successful year in the brands entire 120-year history. Furthermore, we are committed to taking the brand to even greater heights, and with the forthcoming launch of our brand new Tiger 1200, new competition MX and Enduro motorcycles, plus our strategic partnership with Bajaj to create smaller capacity bikes, I am delighted to say that the future for Triumph and its fans across the world will be just as exciting and rich as the last 30 years has been, Nick Bloor Triumph CEO.

Fri, 27 Aug 2021 00:00:00 BST https://www.puretriumph.co.uk/news/dgr-2021an-incredible-10th-year-anniversary The Distinguished Gentlemans Ride 2021, the annual event in which thousands of classic and vintage-style motorcycle riders gather all over the world to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer research and mens mental health, took place on May 23rd and the fundraising closed on Sunday June 6th. The 2021 edition of The DGR marked a milestone for the initiative as it represented its 10th-Year Anniversary. More than 65,000 riders, in 913 cities all over the world, dressed dapper and rode their classic-style motorcycles raising all together more than $4,000,000 USD and the Triumph Team contributed to the cause with 298 riders who raised $113,000 USD. Compared to the 2020 edition, when the ride took place in the ride-solo format resulting in 56,000 riders participating and $2.5m USD raised, the 2021 results represent a sign of hope for the near future as well as a clear testimony of DGRs incredible event organization capabilities. The Distinguished Gentlemans Ride 2021 still faced Covid-related challenges: three different ride formats - Covid-safe, Route Only and Ride Solo were, in fact, implemented worldwide to ensure the safety of all participants. Considering the continuing challenges, the DGRs results for 2021 are truly incredible. Triumph have been proudly supporting The Distinguished Gentlemans Ride for the last eight editions and, in order to celebrate the 10th-Year Anniversary Milestone of the DGR, a celebratory one-off Thruxton RS was built and it is currently displayed at the Triumph Factory Visitor Experience. The one-off DGR Thruxton, together with three other modern classic motorcycles, will be gifted to the winner of the Gentlefolk competition and the three best fundraisers respectively. Mark Hawwa, Founder & Director of The Distinguished Gentlemans Ride: After 10 years of The Distinguished Gentlemans Ride, I still find myself in awe and wonder of the dedication of our incredible gentlefolk around the world. To make it through 10 years, raising over $31.5M USD toward mens health and connecting literally hundreds of thousands of like-minded motorcyclists together - its unfathomable - and that success could not have been made possible without the support we receive from our partners at Triumph Motorcycles. Im particularly proud of all our devoted ride hosts and their teams who work so hard to bring these rides to each and every city around the world, and Im grateful to everyone who has shared their stories with us over the years. Behind the impeccably dressed riders are stories linking them to prostate cancer and mens mental health, and only through the efforts of Movember are we able to make a difference to the lives of men living with and beyond these cause areas. We have such a rare opportunity to present our dedicated riders with prizes courtesy of Triumph Motorcycles, and this year most notably rewarded a fundraiser with the 1-of-1 special edition DGR x Triumph Thruxton RS. Together, we have made an unbelievable impact in the lives of men, and that is something we will always be proud of.

This is an incredible opportunity for me to join this historic brand, and I am honoured and humbled to be a part of the development and release of their off-road motorcycles. Building something from the ground up is something that really is intriguing to me at this stage of my career. What is impressive to me is Triumph's dedication, and passion to develop a top of the class product. Everyone that I have been involved with in this project from the engineers, design groups, R&D dept., etc., have shown extreme passion for what they are doing and that is a recipe for success and something that I love being a part of. We all share that same passion, and that's to be the best. If you are familiar with the Triumph brand, you already know the quality of craftsmanship is top shelf, and the off-road models will follow suit to their past! Not only are these exciting times for me, but it's an exciting time for the off-road industry to be adding another brand to the mix and the opportunities that lie ahead for all off-road consumers. I cant wait to see the reactions when these models hit the dealer's showroom floors. Ivan Cervantes: I have loved Triumph motorcycles right from being a small kid, seeing them in films and on television. So to be working with Triumph from the beginning of this project, is an amazing opportunity for me, not just because it is working with one of the worlds greatest motorcycle brands, but also for being part of building something from zero. It is a dream come true for any racer! Like me, everyone I am working with at Triumph is focused to make the bikes the best they can be. I cannot wait to see the bikes competing at a world level, but I also look forward to when I can stand in a Triumph dealer and know I was part of this very special project.

Thu, 01 Apr 2021 00:00:00 BST https://www.puretriumph.co.uk/news/project-triumph-te-1-prototype-motorcycle-design With the exciting reveal of the innovative advanced electric powertrain and battery and the first styling sketches for the final Project TE-1 Prototype, Phase 2 of this landmark four phase collaboration in British design and engineering reaches a successful conclusion. Delivering on the objectives announced at the start of the TE-1 project in May 2019, focused on developing specialist electric motorcycle technology and innovative integrated solutions, this unique collaboration between Triumph Motorcycles, Williams Advanced Engineering, Integral Powertrain Ltd, and WMG at the University of Warwick funded by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles, has already achieved significant results. Including innovation in battery and powertrain design, initial test performance results far exceed the current benchmarks and industry targets. Developments in performance, efficiency and range is enabling Project TE-1 to fully deliver the partnerships objectives to enhance the credibility and profile of British industry providing substantial input into future electric motorcycle strategy from Triumph. Announcing the completion of Phase 2- with the reveal of the battery and powertrain prototype, initial high level performance results, and the first design concept drawings for the Project TE-1 Prototype motorcycle that will be created at the end of the next phase. Key project achievements to dateinclude test results that show significant innovation in mass, battery technology, and powertrain performance that exceeds the target set by the UK Automotive Council for 2025, meeting the projects ambitious objectives to deliver genuine innovation for a new standard in fully usable electric motorcycle performance. Project TE-1 is a unique collaboration between four major UK industry and academic leaders- Triumph Motorcycles, Williams Advanced Engineering, Integral Powertrain Ltd.s e-Drive Division, and WMG at the University of Warwick. The objective of this two-year project is focused on developing electric motorcycle capabilities- providing an input into Triumphs future electric motorcycle offer, driving innovation, capability and new intellectual property, enhancing the credibility and profile of British industry and design. Project TE-1 is fundedby the UK Governments Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV), and delivered through Innovate UK The completion of Phase 2, and the promising results achieved to date, provide an exciting glimpse of the potential electric future and showcase the talent and innovation of this unique British collaboration. Without doubt the outcome of this project will play a significant part in our future efforts to meet our customers ambition and desire to reduce their environmental impact and for more sustainable transportation, said Nick Bloor, Triumph CEO. This important project will provide one of the foundations for our future electric motorcycle strategy, which is ultimately focussed on delivering what riders want from their Triumph; the perfect balance of performance, handling and real world usability, with genuine Triumph character. PROJECT TE-1 PHASE 2 OUTCOMES Battery and powertrain prototype WILLIAMS ADVANCED ENGINEERING (WAE) Based on the agreed specification, we identified appropriate cell technology and battery architecture to deliver the performance objectives. Using this as a framework, we then optimised the battery module layout to balance mass and positioning within the prototype chassis taking into consideration centre of gravity, space and relationship with the powertrain and charging approach. In addition to the module layout, we have also developed a new and unique vehicle control unit which is integrated into the battery pack to minimise weight and packaging. In parallel, WAE has also created innovative battery management software to ensure power is delivered in relationship to battery performance. The outcome of Phase 2 for WAE includes a fully bench-tested battery with performance results that exceeds anything else on the market in terms of Power and Energy Density. We are delighted to be working on this project, working to deliver next-generation battery technology and control systems. Within the current landscape, most electric motorcycle technology arguably delivers compromised performance at low levels of battery charge. By using a lightweight, compact solution we have been able to give the rider all of the performance all of the time (regardless of battery charge), and a class leading range. We have focussed on pushing the boundaries to reduce mass and optimise frame position to benefit handling. We have also pushed the limits of battery performance, balancing the design for acceleration and range, with simulations modelled on track-based riding. In other words, as aggressive as possible, saidDyrr Ardash, Senior Commercial Manager, Williams Advanced Engineering.The energy density of this new battery will be a significant step forward from existing technology giving the rider more power, for longer. WAE has also designed and developed an electronic control unit from the ground-up combining the battery management system with the bike control functions in one package. This is a first for this market, benefiting packaging and integration whilst optimising performance and range. INTEGRAL POWERTRAIN LTD.S E-DRIVEDIVISION Our experience in cutting edge motor and inverter design and manufacture has helped us to push this technology on to the next level for the TE-1 project. In Phase 1 we worked to integrate the normally separate motor and inverter into one single, compact, package. Integration reduces the mass and volume of the drivetrain by reducing additional boxes on the vehicle, mounting features, coolant pipework and heavy high voltage connections. The innovative integration concept is also a fully scalable one, whereby the number of power stages can increase for larger diameter, higher torque motors for example. Combined with our state-of-the-art motor technology, we have seen very exciting results already, with the motor achieving a power density twice that of the target set by the UK Automotive Council for 2025. We have also implemented advanced silicon carbide switch technology in the inverter, this reduces losses in the inverter and results in greater drivetrain efficiency, power delivery and range. At the end of Phase 2, we are proud to have built a fully operational, new, prototype motor that has been bench tested and is delivering on all aspects of performance. "One of the most influential factors in how well a motorcycle handles and performs is mass, so at Integral Powertrain we have focused heavily on making a step change in motor and inverter design, removing heavy high voltage cables for example. This delivers a product that is significantly more compact and lighter than anything currently available on the market. The motor produces 130kW or almost 180 horsepower, but weighs only 10 kilograms, much lighter than existing technology and clearly a small fraction of the mass of traditional internal combustion engines, saidAndrew Cross, Chief Technical Officer at Integral Powertrain Ltd.The silicon carbide switch technology in our new scalable integrated inverter will help set new standards in terms of electric motorcycle efficiency; application of this technology means a lighter weight overall with significantly more performance and range. In parallel, we have a very strong focus on design for manufacture and assembly activity, so that all this high motor and inverter performance can be offered cost-effectively. Ultimately, this is really going to be an industry-leading powertrain that will help define the future of electric mobility. With the TE-1 project we are proud to be part of this landmark project for British industry. WMG, AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WARWICK At WMG we have been working closely with all the TE-1 partners during Phase 1 and 2 to develop representative models to simulate the systems of the bike including battery, motor and vehicle control. Initially this allowed us to validate the specification against the intended component selection by assessing performance criteria such as range and top speed with initial models. This has enabled Triumph to carry out software development at an early stage prior to hardware being built with thorough testing programmes to ensure that real-life testing can deliver on refinement. Most recently we have been conducting powertrain rig testing using the prototype IPT powertrain to ensure our simulations are accurate and to confirm that the motor functions within the system as intended. We have also been providing guidance to Triumph relating to future legislation, charging infrastructure and recycling strategies that will need to be implemented across future electric motorcycle platforms. Our creation of initial computer-based simulation models at the start of Phase 1 has been instrumental in ensuring that the component selection was appropriate to achieve the performance targets defined by the partners for the TE-1 Prototype. We have continued with this work across Phase 2 of the project, refining the models to a much more complex level to allow us and the partners to imitate further components on the bike such as braking, throttle, lighting and other systems and mimic real-world riding to provide development opportunities before components were fully designed. Additionally we have created a physical rig wired with all of the control units, in order to implement a design validation test programme to ensure the function of each section was within the allowable range,said Truong Quang Dinh, Assistant Professor of Energy Management and Control Systems at WMG, University of Warwick. TRIUMPH MOTORCYCLES Throughout phase 2 Triumph have developed an all new advanced vehicle control software which incorporates all of the electrical systems to ensure intuitive throttle response, regen braking, traction control and all of the dimensions that a customer would expect from a high-performance Triumph motorcycle. Additionally, we have integrated leading functional safety strategies into this software, plus supported WMG in rig testing and have also fully developed the new prototype instrument display. Alongside this electrical and control system work, we have designed a brand-new prototype chassis including main frame and rear frame which have been optimised alongside the battery and motor packages which will be further evolved in Phase 3 into the TE-1 Prototype which will be used as a mule test platform in Phase 4. During this chassis development we have taken into account both the transmission design and the final styling of the TE-1 Prototype, the drawings of which we are pleased to reveal for the first time today. Steve Sargent, Triumphs Chief Product Officer saidThe starting point for us in the TE-1 project was to gather important customer feedback about what riders really want from their motorcycles and understand how an electric motorcycle can provide the experience that riders desire. This includes considering the type of riding, range, feel and nature of power and torque delivery together with the ergonomics and bike controls. Taking all of this feedback into consideration we began the chassis design, focusing on bringing everything together on the TE-1 Prototype in a way that provides a riding experience that is exciting and new but ultimately familiar. We have begun to define the powertrain and battery interaction through the use of software refinement to deliver an exhilarating power delivery and throttle response, which provides great control and feels intuitive to the rider. Overall with the styling we wanted to create something that is fresh and exciting but a natural evolution of the Triumph brand. Something desirable in its own right, with distinctive Triumph DNA and definitely not something that is different just for the sake of being different. Pulling all of this together with the partners we are thrilled to see the progress of such an exciting demonstration vehicle which incorporates the cutting-edge technology needed to guide the strategy for the future roadmap of electric motorcycles from Triumph. The team are proud to be leading such an innovative, strong and dynamic project with a fantastic group of partners which ultimately should set British engineering and design rightly at the forefront of future 2 wheel design.

Optimised Cornering ABS The new Optimised Cornering ABS system represents an additional confidence-inspiring aid to the rider of the new Speed Triple 1200 RS. The new Continental MIB-EVO ABS modular, with an integrated 6-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) and more refined ABS control, continuously monitors roll, pitch and yaw acceleration rates, to calculate lean angle and ensure the optimum brake force for any situation. The system is adjustable through the TFT instruments and left-hand switch cube, and offers two selectable levels of intervention, Road and Track. The Track settings have been tuned to be unintrusive, and virtually imperceptible during fast track riding. The ABS settings are linked to the riding modes, but can also be selected independently if the rider chooses. The new linked braking system improves stopping distances and stability under hard braking. Switchable Optimised Cornering Traction Control Also facilitated by the IMU, the Speed Triple 1200 RSs new Optimised Cornering Traction Control ensures the optimum slip rate and torque control at any lean angle, improving acceleration and control in both straight lines and when cornering. There are 4 levels of intervention to choose from (Rain, Road, Sport and Track), plus the ability to turn traction control off completely. Again, the Track setting has been developed in order to maximise forward progress and minimise perceived intervention when riding hard. Traction control settings are linked to the riding modes, but can also be independently adjusted. Enhanced front wheel lift control The enhanced front-wheel lift control is designed to enhance rider control of the new 1160cc triple engine, without feeling intrusive to the rider, and has advanced new algorithms that continuously monitor the signals from the IMU to ensure smoother control and faster progress. The settings are linked to and optimised for each traction control mode, allowing the level of intervention to be tailored to the conditions and riding style. 5 customisable riding modes, with enhanced Track mode The new Speed Triple 1200 RS features 5 distinct riding modes: Rain, Road, Sport, Track and Rider. Each riding mode adjusts the behaviour of the bike to suit the intended use. Thanks to the ride-by-wire throttle system, the throttle response is adjusted according to the selected riding mode, as well as the traction control and ABS settings. The new enhanced Track mode has been specifically designed to be as unintrusive as possible in track riding, while still providing the reassurance that the electronic systems are there to help in unexpected situations. When in wet conditions, the rider can select the Rain riding mode, which reduces the power down to 100PS and increases the level of intervention of the other safety features. Riding mode adjustments are easily accessible through the switchgear while riding. Distinctive new all-LED lighting Safety has been further enhanced thanks to the stunning new aggressively styled lighting system on the new Speed Triple 1200 RS, which includes the new LED headlights with incredibly distinctive new daytime running light signature (market specific), that are now brighter and whiter for enhanced visibility on the road. The attractive new tail light is equally distinctive, and has been completely redesigned with a unique signature LED design, delivering a more compact silhouette to the rear. Self-cancelling indicators are fitted as standard. New full keyless system The new Speed Triple 1200 RS is also equipped, for the very first time on a Triumph, with a full keyless system, including keyless ignition and steering lock, as well as a new keyless fuel filler cap. To ensure greater security, the keyless system can be disabled if required with the simple press of a button on the key fob. Cruise control fitted as standard Through the switch cubes, the rider can activate the fully adjustable cruise control, which is fitted as standard, for improved long distance rideability. Enhanced switchcube illumination To complete the riding-aid features, the unique in segment backlit switch cubes now have a new more penetrative amber glow from the LEDs inside the switches, making them easier to read. For additional rider comfort and convenience, neatly integrated internally wired heated grips and a tyre pressure monitoring system are available as accessory fit. Lightweight new lithium ion battery A lithium ion battery is fitted as standard, which is 60% lighter than the equivalent lead-acid battery, reducing the overall weight by 2.3kg. A new accessory battery charger is available, which is suitable for both lithium ion and conventional lead acid batteries. ALL-NEW MUSCULAR AND ARRESTING POISE AND PRESENCE The new Speed Triple 1200 RS is the new definition of pure aggressive attitude, poise & style, with a muscular and arresting poise and presence, and purer, cleaner and sharper lines. Encapsulating all of the iconic Speed Triple design DNA, born from the category creating 1994 original, this new generation resets the benchmark for focussed Speed Triple attitude and style. Compact new bodywork The compact new premium bodywork is shaped by newly designed elements such as a carbon-fibre front mudguard, colour coded belly pan and seat cowl with an interchangeable pillion seat, and a new compact tail unit.

UNIQUELY FOCUSSED AND FIT FOR PURPOSE Aggressive, agile and purposeful; the original Triumph Speed Triple created the performance naked category back in 1994, and coined the phrase factory streetfighter. Designed from the ground up for the road, as a naked performance street bike, the 2005 Speed Triple 1050 then reset the benchmark all over again in a competitive class of predominantly adapted track oriented sports bikes. With the new Speed Triple 1200 RS, once again, Triumph stands almost alone in the category with a motorcycle that has been designed first and foremost as a road-focussed naked performance street bike, with all of the benefits for the rider, and none of the shortcomings inherent in track-focussed motorcycles evolved for the road, where power, torque and handling can never be fully exploited.

Tue, 23 Feb 2021 00:00:00 GMT https://www.puretriumph.co.uk/news/triumph-motorcycles-clothing-brand-new-riding-essentials-collection This season we have focussed exclusively on technical rider functionality. Introducing a new line of packable essential utility products that can be stored within easy reach of the rider, either in backpacks or within bike storage. Base Layer Line: Heat retaining extra skin. Comfort and flexibility whilst riding is essential. Ergonomically engineered to offer maximum comfort whilst helping to maintain your core temperature. These products allow perspiration to evaporate away from the body. Evaporation uses lots of energy and lowers the body temperature, this is why it is essential not to get too sweaty but keep warm whilst riding in cold. Storm Guard Line: Add an extra layer of waterproof protection in adverse weather conditions. Using TriTech technology, these products are engineered for increased waterproof protection. The outer fabrics are designed to repel water from the surface and prevent water from entering. Constructed using heat sealed tape this technology prevents water leaking through even at its weakest point. Reflective Line: Innovative Reflective Fabric technology is constructed from micro glass beads which intensifies the light directly back to the source rather than to disperse in all directions. Therefore, ensuring increased rider visibility in dark conditions. Hi Viz Line: Visibility isnt just a night-time concern. The brand new innovative, hi-viz clothing is created using fluorescent materials that react with the Suns ultraviolet rays, to increase rider visibility in low-light conditions.

Mon, 24 Aug 2020 00:00:00 BST https://www.puretriumph.co.uk/news/new-tiger-900-a-quantum-leap-forward-in-capability NEW TIGER 900 - A quantum leap forward in capability It was the hi-res. seven-inch TFT screen that made the most immediate impression it dominates. In a really positive way. For the first time ever, I had maximum information with minimum eyes off the road time. Genius. Only, I couldnt unlock its full potential to become a fully featured iPhone-driven navigation system because I couldnt pair the damn thing with my phone and the freshly minted Triumph app. Dealers are going to have to put some serious time into the handover of the new Triumph Tiger the level of connectivity will be a differentiator for sure, and, throughout 2019 and again on this sortie I really needed a good Nav. (Inadequate) road-tester research tells me its not just about the Nav either music calls -even triggering and controlling a GoPro are all part of the entertainment suite. This functionality is a massive value-add to what it is undoubtedly a compelling proposition. More of this later. I know this bike. Well kind of. I toured Devon - and then commuted Goodwood for the F.O.S on various incarnations of the earlier 800, and damn good I remember it being too. Though I do remember it feeling sinewy and very revvy to the point where it almost detracted from its pitch as a serious heavy-hitting mile-eater. Why so? Because serious miles always, to me, equate to low rpm, tall-geared big power pulses. Whether 1200 BMWs 1200 Ducatis 1650 Harleys 1200 Triumphs big bang rules. Or did. The earlier incarnation of this legendary triple always seemed more at home in race replicas or naked sports bikes, than as propulsion for an adventure tourer. It didnt seem to have the right beat for endless hours in the saddle. On the other hand, nor did the 2010 865 Scrambler that I bought new, and subjected to a regular 500-mile round trip, pretty much flat out. Too breathless, by half. Not so much the 800, but you did find yourself rinsing that triple, as it spun up so freely, it just didnt seem quite right. Whatever right means. On that basis, its easy to see what Triumph have done with the all-new 900 engine. For a start, that 900 capacity moves it into a grown up segment honestly, I doubt I would ever buy anything smaller again, I like cubic capacity, its the old timer in me. But, primarily, the firing order, (1-3-2), is a very clever trick. It reimagines the triple both aurally and dynamically as something very different again something that, frankly, takes a bit of getting used to. My advice is persevere. You wont get on this bike and think wow-what an engine, in the way you will if you slip your leg over the new Rocket, as I did earlier this year before the World stopped turning. Be prepared in the first km to be underwhelmed by the power unit. Off idle it is very smooth, maybe fuels a little lean, (as evidenced by its reluctance to easily blip with small throttle openings when coming down the gearbox), but its kind of anonymous when you are picking your way out from the dealership. It doesnt especially feel big either in terms of physical size or thrust, but it does feel silky smooth, and oh-so modern. And the fuel numbers are very good too I caned it over 800 miles and averaged 50.8 mpg. Its all not helped by the standard can, which is whisper quiet, albeit a nice sound as you wind the motor through the rev range. But as you dig in, and start to use bigger throttle openings, this all-new triple wakes up, the weird firing order generates a hard-edged vibe, and the Rally Pro starts to thrust forward with serious intent. Work the new motor hard, hang on to the gears and you are North of a hundred very quickly, 125mph with ease, and 90mph cruising all day with capacity in hand. I did note on the A303, with cruise engaged, 79 MPH in sixth felt like it needed a prod down to fifth if we encountered a small incline - to be kind to the engine. Small point, but a 900 ridden solo should shrug off the extra load. I think this is as much the fuel map/enviro compromise as anything else People have talked about getting numb fingers with the beat of the new 900 triple for me the jury is out here. I get white fingers on every bike I ride from a combination of vibration and cooling temperatures what you have here that offsets that completely, is one of the most magnificent elements of this remarkable bike it has the best cruise control I have ever used on a motorcycle. The ability to set, tap-up and tap-down by 1mph, resume and delete intuitively, and I will take a bet with you: take a cruise-equipped Tiger 900 out on a 370 mile run, and you will never buy or even choose to tour a NON cruise-equipped bike again. The cruise is, potentially, the best feature you have ever used on a motorcycle. And you didnt even know you needed one. Why so? Well, I learned this on the cruise-equipped Tiger 1200, on last years test series: Fly-by-wire or cable throttles require A LOT of energy to hold open for seven hours in the saddle and the right hand can never take a rest. Once you have worked out, and gained confidence in, the Tigers cruise you will use it all the time. Its safe, easy, protects your licence, and saves fatigue off the scale. Simply put, its something I want on every future motorcycle. I use it all the time, in every situation. Miles more than I wouldve imagined I would. Its more useful on a bike than car. Let that sink in. Do not buy a non-cruise Tiger, you will have missed a massive trick. Yes, its that good. For the record, Harley, (believe it or not), had a mechanical system on a Road King I toured on years ago After a quick, (too quick), walkaround, I pointed the bike South. Lack of panniers fitted to this bike meant I bungeed my Givi roll bag stacked with kit onto the back-rack and pillion seat, an easy job with all the locating hangers an rails. A closer look revealed that all of these chassis parts are now bolted neatly on to the 900 Tiger the 800 had them welded on. Much classier looking more expense but much more efficient if you take a fall on the new bike much less chance that the bike will scrap its own frame. Also makes all the sense in the World if you do plan to go off-piste and make the Tiger into your great escape round the World ride. Nice work Triumph and a big upgrade for brand Tiger. When I bought my 2010 Steve McQueen 865, I used to dislike looking too closely at that bikes agricultural chassis; horrible, (remember it preceeded a succession of Ducati Monsters ), but the 2020 900 Tiger stacks up to anything on the market in terms of build quality and finish. And the materials finish is equal to anything out there in terms of corrosion resistance and better than my BMW GS Urban. And from a different century to my Harley As I settled in for the long, long ride, (typically starting a couple of hours later than planned ), I felt immediately at home in the saddle. Im five-eleven tops Tiger 900 Rally Pro is perfection for me, the nature of the adventure style means that at rest I am, inevitably, on the balls of my boots at the lights, but on board ? Never ridden a more comfortable motorcycle for long distance work. The screen shifts wind blast without buffeting my helmet, (in the lowest position), bars at exactly the right span and reach, super comfortable three level heated saddle, ultra-light clutch, racing quality gear shift, (Rally Pro comes with the largely superfluous Triumph up or down quick-shifter ), beautifully crafted pegs, levers and controls a bike you can move around on, chuck around and place with spot-perfect accuracy on or, probably, off the road. Its the state of the art in 2020. It is that good. Rider modes. I used three. Last years road test series taught me the value of the rain setting on the Speed Twin here, if anything, the execution is even more interesting. You will spend most of the time in Sport. Why? Because on the standard Bridgestones you will be cranking the Tiger over like a superbike rider because in the dry, you have heaps of grip. The adjustable Showa suspension front and rear is sublime, it really is. Road setting is Mercedes Benz Maybach refinement, I punted down the dual carriageways on a magic carpet ride, minimal wear on tear on both mine and the Tigers chassis, I would cycle to Sport whenever I headed off on to an A or B road, I found myself braking into corners and deliberately picking the Rally Pro up after squaring off traffic islands, using big progressive throttle openings to squat the rear down and feed the big-bang power-pulses to the tarmac. Great fun, and fast, safe commuting. More fun than a tourer should be. Tiger has programmable Rider modes that I didnt use, and Off Road and Off Road Pro that I steered clear of. But a word about rain. From Plymouth up on the return journey, the weather cut up rough after weeks of Britains hottest May on record. Damn. The road surfaces were especially slick after such a long dry period, all the oil, grease and rubber brought to the surface. And big spray. I got caught out in Sport mode, and though stable, the Bridgestones now became much less convincing I found myself on 70-80 MPH sweeping dual carriageway curves holding the controls super lightly, and trying not to alter throttle openings more than a percent or two at a time. I switched to Rain mode, but I would still say that the Bridgestone was much less convincing than it had been the preceding five hundred or so miles in the dry. Safe enough, but the tyres that had tempted me in to serious bend sweeping, now felt a little wooden, less confidence inspiring. Fortunately, the engine, gearbox, slipper clutch and chassis ability step in here, I would use the term linear to describe, or even analogue. The bikes communication with the rider is exemplary, I may have experienced aquaplaning and a touch of wheelspin only once or twice on the whole 250-mile rain-soaked leg. And the brakes, wet or dry, were/are brilliant. To me, it doesnt get better than a radial Brembo set-up. ALL the retardation power you will ever need. Perfect master cylinder calliper ratio, one finger stopping, and a rear brake that you can trim the chassis with, especially braking into corners. This is top quality kit. Full marks to Triumph. So, back to the ride Ive done Cornwall before, many times, but never during a lockdown-ish period, It was very odd. Empty, dry, sunny roads, for the most part, my first long run of 2020, so it took a hundred miles to get my chops together, and start riding well. And the Tiger 900 Rally Pro really flatters a half-competent rider, i.e, me. Its a rare piece, its stiffer with better brakes than most sports bikes of just a couple of years back, its better equipped than any tourer youll likely ever have ridden plus, allegedly it can be used off road. In honesty, I personally wouldnt test the latter to any extreme even with knobblies - that skinny front hoop would want to wash out, the front brakes would be too powerful, and despite the big-bang, the engine will be too revvy. Picking your way through a trail? Yes, indeed. However, on tarmac, its immensely stable, you can stand up on the pegs and ride it at speed, you can set the cruise control and take both hands off the bars and ride for miles steering with your knees, (dont ask me how I know this ), but thats how rock-steady this platform is, its bloody brilliant to ride, simple as. If you are an experienced motorcyclist, you will be working the 900 quite hard I knocked the Honda Africa Twin off my shopping list because I wanted 100 plus PS, the Tiger only has 94, but it makes good use of all of them. And because Triumph lightened this bike, the 0-100 KM/H is quicker than the earlier 800 despite power output being similar, but I still found myself working the ultra-smooth triple hard. Problem is, riding like this is rewarded by a great feeling of connection the harder you ride the Rally Pro, the more stable she becomes. These really are 1st World issues, but, for me, it almost makes the excellent 1200 Tiger redundant. Why so? Well, I never had the confidence to hustle through traffic on the 1200 in the way I could on the 900, the extra heft compromised my ability to work the bikes envelope. When we get the 1200 version of THIS bike, I might change my mind again, IF they can keep the extra weight of the bigger installation under control. But, it maybe that the new 900 is TOO good, in which case it will make the 1200 redundant unless you are 6 5 and 18 English stone in weight, or, maybe, regularly carry a pillion. Or, want a shaft Actually, Im divided on the whole shaft thing. Its cool not having to lube chains and clean lube off rear wheels, but the shaft always has a torque reaction, and in my experience, handles downshifts whilst leaning in less well than a chain, and, well, clonks more. But doesnt need adjusting. On a long run like this, especially if it rains, you almost need to pack a can of chain lube. But still, chain suits the 900. And its lighter and more power efficient, I prefer the 900 Rally Pro to the 1200 Tiger I tested in 2019, its lighter much lighter, carries its weight lower - and with that comes filtering ability. And it has enough torque to make it it feel long-legged. Just enough. And, for me, its way more comfortable. Pures Tiger didnt have luggage fitted, and I wish it had. Clipping off bungees is so 1980s especially when these guys, (Triumph), make such high quality fitted stuff. On the return leg my Starbucks iced coffee burst in my Givi soft bag just to make the point. What a pisser. And, of course, this involved stripping the bag off the bike and emptying my boxers all over the petrol forecourt in the rain. These are a few of my, (not), favourite things Anyways, the bike impressed me mightily. Build quality for one. Park the 900 Tiger next to the 800, and you will see where the money has been spent. Detail finishing is up by 35% over the previous generation. Bolted on hangers and brackets instead of welded save the chassis in a low-speed drop, winglets, fairings, aluminium mouldings, direct adjustable Showa monoshock , radial Brembos, a full suite of active rider aids, that are completely invisible until they spring into action in milliseconds, a seat so comfortable that it puts the aftermarket gel seat industry out of business in a heartbeat. Its all there in this new Triumph for the new World order. I got into Triumph in 2010. I bought a Steve McQueen 865 Scrambler in met-metallic green. Loved it. Im a big Steve McQueen fan, (who isnt?), the king of cool, and a role model to me. The iconography of THAT bike, I tricked mine up, rode it hard like hell, and loved it. Despite the fact that the build quality and dynamics were adequate at best. It was PURE Triumph, in look and spirit. But, the irony is, McQueen wouldnt of chosen it or ANY of the heritage bikes TODAY from the collection, no indeed. McQueen wouldve chosen the Rally Pro. Because its the fastest REAL WORLD bike Triumph make, best handling, stopping and with the most cutting edge kit. If you are used to a Triumph heritage twin, (like me), the Rally Pro will make it feel 100 years old. In-fact, DONT ride a Rally Pro any distance, if you are not going to buy one. Because, unless your bike has cruise heated seat,(s), grips, 7 inch TFT with Bluetooth smartphone driven Nav, LED lights and spots, radial Brembos and adjustable Showa front and rear, you will find your current bike wanting. Seriously. Especially the cruise control. After an hour with, you will genuinely question how you ever managed without. I cannot imagine buying another bike that doesnt have cruise fitted. Its that much of a deal breaker. Now I own a hot rod Harley, (did), and a GS Urban both heritage 1200s. Ive, up to this point, resisted buying an adventure tourer. Tempted by the gorgeous Multistrada, equally always loved the cumbersone GS Adventure, but retro style is my bag. But the Rally Pro could be the game changer. I adore having the ability in a bike to enact the great escape, and head South on a whim. This motorcycle does EVERYTHING incredibly well, some things best of all, and best ever, and has a really cool look to boot, with its spokes, white competition frame and classy design elements. And, dynamically, it relegates ANYTHING heritage to the scrap bin. Yes, thats right, makes them look stupid. The further you travel, the stupider they look. Well, actually, the heritage stuff still LOOKS cooler its just that YOU wont. The further you travel on the heritage stuff, the worse you will look and feel. Imagine a bike that you could ride for seven hours in the saddle, and still feel like a human. You dont have to imagine it any more, its here. Triumphs exceptional Tiger 900 Rally Pro. Steve Deeks, 2020. PS: Since I drafted this article, I had the Tiger back to make the video that accompanies the virtual launch and rode another couple of hundred miles, including a bunch of laps both ways round the Bicester Heritage test track. This is what I learned: The Tiger is Triumphs most complete bike to date. For a start, it is GENUINELY quick on all kinds of roads and supremely comfortable. Its engine is utterly linear. Its handsome looking for an adventure bike. And it has tech that a couple of years ago would have been unobtainable at any price. Its NOT a bike on which you would do track days, you could have a go, but you wouldnt because the very thing that gives it the best ride on the tour, also makes it unsuitable for the racetrack. Heres why: The 900 Tiger Rally Pro simply has too much suspension travel even in Sport mode, I found myself hanging off the inside of the bike to get it hard over, from just after turn-in to the apex then out to the exit the throttle is relatively slow action and takes a lot of winding on again even in Sport mode and braking to the limit of the front tyres grip leaves the unloaded rear tyre skipping across the tarmac, with the ABS chirping, especially as you peel in, bleeding off the brake. The bike has an IMU, (Inertial Movement), control module which links the ABS and ASC very cleverly, using the slipper clutch to cushion the downshift clutch release weight transfer very effectively especially when using the quickshifter but heres my only real issue; the throttle on my test bike is too slow opening off idle to facilitate downshift blipping, a small blip doesnt produce any rpm, so your downshift is unnecessarily notchy and this upsets the balance on the limit if its happening as you start to peel in. 1st World issues again, you shouldnt be riding that hard on the road, but if I was Triumph I would remap the throttle in Sport and speed it up by 8-10%. Also, maybe, for the enviro-econo compromise, the Rally Pro is very lean off idle, and this causes the triple to hesitate fractionally before picking up. Either way, its my least favourite characteristic of what is otherwise a pretty much perfect power delivery. Is it my favourite motorcycle engine ever? No, its too refined for that plaudit, and way too quiet without a pipe, but its certainly up there. Judged by its ability to move you miles fast and efficiently, it would be in the top three, it would have to be. Judged by the Im tierd, I HAVE to ride 378 miles in one hit metric, well, it would be in the top one. It is that good. Did I have any moments on the track?

Mon, 24 Feb 2020 00:00:00 GMT https://www.puretriumph.co.uk/news/all-new-triumph-scrambler-1200-xe-the-second-coming ALL-NEW TRIUMPH SCRAMBLER 1200 XE - THE SECOND COMING How do you assess a bike that you, literally, lived with, in its previous incarnation covered 8000 miles on often in 200 mile hops, customised, modified, cleaned, oiled, upgraded, relied on and loved? You imagine how it wouldve been to do the same mileage on its new brethren and you push on, to see if it has all the DNA that seduced you into buying its ancestor. In the case of Triumphs all-new Scrambler 1200 XE, it does and 35% more besides. Its a damn good motorcycle in most every measurable metric. My name is Steve Deeks, I am a racer, presenter, trainer, pilot and all-round lifelong motorcycle enthusiast. In fact, though I race cars, its bikes that have always moved my spirit and I rode before I could drive. Fortunately, I barely stopped riding much safer in my opinion, than the born again but hey, so long as you ride, well thats OK with me. Am I Triumph? Hell, no. In the past, I have worked with Ducati, Aprilia, Buell, Suzuki, Yamaha, Alpinestars and for several dealers but never directly with Triumph. But I have a long relationship with the brand having bought my own 865 Scrambler new in 2010, and because my dealer is PURE at Wellingborough the best motorcycle dealership in the business. Why do I say this? Because, when I was first a customer, they, under the expert guidance of arch-enthusiast, Kevin Lington, ALWAYS went the extra mile to look after me and my bikes. In Martin, in the workshop, they have a guy who is old school in his approach to mechanical engineering he can actually make things and fix things, not just bolt shit on. In the modern World, where we all want to personalise our iron horses, this is both refreshing and a relief. So, in my role as road tester, during 2019 I will be riding and writing about the whole range, seeing if they are the dream ticket Triumph want them to be. This is a pretty damn good place to start. Under the chaos and confusion of PUREs refit, (thankfully finished in a fortnight), top sales guy Dom gives me a better hand-over than Ive ever had, even when Ive bought bikes in the past. Ive filmed and included part of it here, because, well, this bike gets rider modes. What the ? Yep, Im not kidding. On the previous Scrambler, the highest tech, you got was a 12v system. Here you dont even have to put a key in a lock. Crazy. After figuring out the space shuttle complex launch sequence, I was off in regular road default mode. Dry tarmac, so all was well. Immediately I was struck by how tall this bike felt with its 21 inch front wheel, but equally, how chuckable. My first marker always is: can I jump straight on a new bike and crack on? Answer here yep. Everyone has asked about the 21 inch wheel, does it slow down the steering well, yes, a bit, but are you going to pitch a tall Scrambler in, like you would my slammed Harley? I doubt it. What I can tell you is that Ohlins, in any situation, is ALWAYS the best suspension that I ride on, (well, along with Ducatis Skyhook, or whatever they call that stuff on the posh Multi ). It grips, turns, handles braking, road imperfections, cambers, elevations, hard acceleration long distance in fact, when you ride something with top quality kit, you immediately start totting up in your mind, the cost of converting your OWN bikes. Which is where the XE 1200 starts to look like really good value for money. Because this gear is EXPENSIVE and here, its factory sorted, and matched to the bike. Aftermarket upgrades, could can - leave you with an expensive mismatch that you are stuck with cause you paid so much. Be warned! I stopped at Silverstone to pick up some new racing harnesses for the 911 SC race car and an AIM bracket to deliver to my team at Classic Performance Engineering, Bicester Heritage. This was the Scramblers main job today courier. Given that we were going to end up at an ex-RAF WW2 base, fitting. We fixed on the trusty GoPro. I hate using those things on a road bike, feel like I am tempting fate Silverstone to Bicester Heritage was a blast. You should visit that place when they have one of their five yearly Sunday Scrambles. I present the Goodwood Revival and Members Meeting Bicester Heritage is 365 days of the year working Goodwood, the new hub of Classic excellence, restoration, manufacturing and support. And the UK home of my racing 911. For four years on the bounce I presented the Goodwood Festival of Speed for AMG Mercedes Benz, and his Lordship, (Lord March, former pupil of mine, I gave him his first competition licence therefore I claim I started the whole Goodwood thing ), HRH very kindly used to let me park my bike right outside the front of the Goodwood Hotel and leave my helmet at reception. Why? Well, it didnt hurt that it was a period-looking Triumph Scrambler #inkeeping The bike, now in Sport mode, was in its element, long, fast, sweeping British A-road, the optional led spotlights alerting traffic, (modification one that I would make would be a noisier Arrow exhaust absolutely essential for survival, its way too quiet with the standard kit on), the 270 crank take on the Thruxton R motor being long-legged and offbeat, almost in a Ducati sort of way, i.e. gathering pace deceptively easily and effortlessly. This power plant would leave an 865 for dead. Comfort was good, option two, for me, would be a bikini screen, amazing what an effect they have on sustained 80-90 MPH cruising, tourers take note, but I do tend to ride quite quickly cross-country, and this bike was definitely up for that type of riding. The 865 always felt a touch old man popping out for a cappuccino on a Sunday morning down by the wharf, this one feels more like Ill just nip over to see my buddy Stef. in Brugges for a bier its a proper motorcycle, not a fashion statement though judging by the attention it generated, its that as well. After dropping off the racing kit, I set course for Tureweston Aerodrome, out of where I fly fixed-wing. By now I was feeling really comfortable in the saddle, and started to work the whole package harder. Where the XE1200 excels, is punting you hard out of unwinding, tighter dual carriageway island corners the engine map in Sport encourages you to short-shift all the while, (I was seldom using above 4000 rpm), there is such a prod of flat, linear torque from 3200 rpm upwards, that whilst the bike is still leaned over, you can use big handfuls of roll-on throttle. Even when the road surfaces were dressed with recently dried mud, the Ohlins and sporting rubber kept the back-end locked in, no hop, no bounce, no weave OHLINS. At this point, you are going to be thinking, come on Steve, there must be something you dont like about the bike? Yep. The dash. The dash on my 865 was the ugliest thing I have ever seen, I hated it. So budget. And it broke. This is ultra-modern TFT LCD, lots of programming, etc, relatively easy to use but, Triumph LOOK AT YOUR DEMOGRAPHIC we cannot see stuff thats written in eight-point type, therefore its useless. To be fair, ALL the brands do it employ mobile phone screen designers to design their graphics. But you dont look at a mobile phone whilst slicing down an A-road at warp factor nine, whilst its vibrating at 20Khz. Oh, wait, hold on a mo Seriously though, especially on really fast motorcycles, (like this), we HAVE to work on legibility and MINIMUM eyes of the road time. Im deadly serious a modern 1200 accelerates so fast, eyes off the road time is CRITICAL. Wont stop you enjoying the XE though, just means that you will only check the minor characters at the stoplights. It could be customised I ran out of time to play with it. Other controls? First rate. Dom was telling me about the cleverly adjustable pegs, levers, etc. on his definitive hand-over walk-round, etc. but I was doing what all idiot customers do during a handover dreaming of the open road, and not paying enough attention. Its an amazing motorcycle. I think it will do anything for you that you want; scratch, commute, tour possibly even off-road though I wouldnt do the latter on any of these soft-roaders Triumph have better bikes for that job, and the specialist manufacturers have better bikes again. But for someone wanting a really cool, do-it-all retro-style ride the XE is up there. The upgrade in engineering integrity is dramatic featuring many standard parts that you would normally, (take note Harley riders), pay MANY thousands for, already on this well-sorted street-scratcher. Pipes, screen, SW Motech bags thats all youll need to add on to your PCP then you will be ready to explore the World, literally. I get that many riders, (who are not racers), will not ride this bike as hard as I did maybe and IF thats the case, buddy, you will end up with enormous reserves of everything. You will never need a bike that has any more of anything than this package offers ever. Lucky, therefore, its built better than the earlier 865 it could well be the bike you keep, it looks like it will last. It has timeless looks too. *sigh* Its what Triumph shouldve built first time round. Recommended Wed, 01 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT https://www.puretriumph.co.uk/news/tiger-1200-xrt-the-ultimate-company-car TIGER 1200 XRT. THE ULTIMATE COMPANY CAR? Cruise. Heated seat. Electric Windshield adjustment. These are a few of my favourite things. Three items that I could never have guessed would make such a massive difference on my 150 mile hike North. These dont even sound like bike-tech, but having used them extensively that first evening on the 1200 Tiger XRT, I cannot imagine a bike without them, going forward. Yes, really Im currently on tour, Im the GT-R trainer for the UK, (I launched the iconic machine way back in 2008), and in 2019, its all about the twenty-plus Performance dealers. Im criss-crossing the UK spreading the, (good), news about Nissans record-breaking supercar and where possible, Im fulfilling that mission by bike. Now I have two motorcycles of my own, but nothing I own or have ever owned, comes close to this cruise missile Triumphs 1200 Tiger XRT in terms of mile-eating capacity. In this style, my favourite bikes tested to date have been various incarnations of Ducatis excellent Multistrada and, of course, variations on BMWs venerable GS 1200, 1250, Adventure. Pretty good benchmarks for this test. Ive got a BMW myself the RnineT- based GS/U, decent though it is as a mile-muncher, on a long haul I find myself wanting more than its 110 PS. More than 110PS ? Yes. Because a good reserve of power means effortless. I toured extensively on my 68 PS 865cc Scrambler but it was always turning over too fast, running too close to its maximum torque. As does the GS/U. As did the original BMW GS, the watercooled 1200 GS, the Adventure and that is why BMW moved to the twin cam 1250, with, I think, 137 PS. Well, the Tiger aces that at 141, and, frankly, feels just about perfect to me from a power point of view. The Multis 160 PS constantly tempted me to ride that bit too fast and the chassis/brake combination encouraged me to chase sports bikes. Stupidness. Fantastic gearbox apparently you can clutchless shift I didnt, but found the gearbox really slick up and down, zero false neutrals, and a light and smooth clutch take-up. Both of these were exceptional, considering the power and torque of the Tigers 1200s motor much better than my 1200 BMW and dont even get me started on my 1200 Harleys, (alleged), clutch TFT high resolution instrumentation is standard kit on these new high specification Triumphs, and this battle cruiser has the most comprehensive set Ive seen yet, with handlebar switchgear that wouldnt look out of place in an Apache A110 Tankbuster. You can do ANYTHING with it, and I mean anything. The M6 is pretty dull, I had a few hours to play with the controls, at least until my hands became too cold to fiddle, (despite the heated grips ). I congratulate Triumph here, because, amazingly, its pretty intuitive even an old timer like me can work it out. By junction 18 I could do everything bar adjust the dash brightness. I assume you can but I cant too ffin complex for me. Whats that you say read the manual ? Oh, do behave. The keyless ignition is excellent and functional, saves time and faff at fuel stops, and being able to arm the steering lock with a handlebar mounted button is totally practical. When I arrive at a gig/ the hotel late, tierd and fly-splattered, I want to park up and hit the sack with the minimum of fuss the 1200 obliges EPIC things you can do, whilst boring yourself on the M6. Lets take LED spots, (full LED everything, actually, inertia-sensor-controlled headlamp even tips into corners when you do ), and heated grips for granted, weve seen them before, but cruise control ? Yep. And it works BRILLIANTLY. Think its overkill ? Think again. Why would you want to hold pressure on a throttle for three hours especially when you have to keep it exactly constant, i.e, during the many 50 MPH contraflows ? I immediately fell in love with this feature its probably more useful than the cruise control in my car, and here the execution is excellent both setting and releasing. Roll off the throttle brake its off. Tap the button ? Resume. Tap up, tap down plus or minus one mph. Perfect. Youll be using this like a pro within 20 miles. Heated seat? Oh my God. Deep joy. You are reading the ramblings of a man with a heated gillet, gloves and neck warmer. The only reason I dont have electric EVERYTHING is a) cost and b) the capacity of my alternator so if you offer to heat my seat ? Im onboard for ever. And, heated pillion seat. No problem. Pillion seat switch looks like an after thought which it isnt. But it looks like it is. Two stage heat same as the grips. This is truly wonderful. If a heated seat is good in a car it is exceptional on a motorcycle. Ill miss this feature so much when I give the bike back. Dont think its not useful in summer either it was 14/15 degrees all the way up the M6 but the wind-chill factor at 90 MPH means I was shivering by the end of the run. Or, I wouldve been if it wasnt for the Electrically adjustable screen adjusts on the fly. This is the final part of the Clipper Class jigsaw for me fully down it still offers incredible buffeting protection in-fact this is my preferred position for vision and cornering, but, remarkably I put it fully up for the last thirty miles, and, no question, I was warmer. The way it does it, is pure engineering class. As well as being warmer, it reduces the buffeting on your helmet. I only did three hours in the saddle at one hit in my experience based on the Triumph America I tested for Pure in 2017, a full screen really comes into its own after four or five hours. Every motorcycle has something you like less, or would change this one is no exception and it is here that I have a confession to make Ive taken a Pure Triumph 1200 to Manchester before maybe five/six years ago and it didnt end well. For ME. It fell over on me, very slowly and totally damage free - unmarked, but I lost my balance, engine off, parked, and to save the bike, I let it slowly come to rest ON TOP of me. After which I realised that, if I wanted to have any kind of future life, I would need to lift the bike back up. Im guessing that bike weighed in at around 250KG fuelled and it ripped a muscle in my back that has never quite recovered. I rode on at that point, but I had lost confidence in the bikes chuckability in traffic or rather, my ability to manhandle it. Ill always remember the moment because I was lost in the pedestrianised Corn Exchange part of the city on the hottest night of the year, at close to midnight, stopped, looking at my phone GPS trying to find my elusive hotel watched by an audience of wine drinking students none of whom came to help after my impromptu street theatre. Little Mancunian wretches Scroll forward to 2019, a totally different, lighter, and better balanced 1200, but it is a tall bike, with a high centre of gravity especially fully fuelled. And here is my only issue with the Tiger I could do with being a couple of inches of taller to dominate the motorcycle. At 5 11 this big cat doesnt see me as the alpha male here, and thats an issue. If this was my motorcycle, I would definitely be lowering the seat height, looking for a combination of lower centre of gravity and feet flat on the deck confidence. Why ? Because as a business tool, I have to be able to filter like a crazy man, I would use this bike IN PLACE OF a car, its that good. But my BMW or even the 800 Tiger for me is more of a traffic jam buster. On the 1200, I found myself sometimes queing behind cars Im less likely to slice through the gap. Ive anylysed this the bikes narrow enough, the engine fuels impeccably off idle. The ONLY reason Im not tearing through the gaps is where the 1200 carries its weight including that of the rider its relatively high up. Im damn certain that given a little time, I would have this sorted, after all this Tiger sports absolute top quality suspension. Enter White Power. You remember when I tested the Scrambler 1200 XE, (you dont read the test!), I raved about the ride quality, grip and handling of the Ohlins Triumph have done it again here; WP. Just like the GT-Rs Bilstien Damptronic and ESUS unit that I am working with, the Tigers WP samples many times per second, and you know it when you ride it its svelte in the extreme, it adjusts for rider weight, pillion, luggage plus you can tailor it on board whilst you ride from comfort through to sport. Class. And, then again, theres Rider Modes lots of them five to be exact 6 if you elect for the Off-Road Tiger. These have to be selected whilst at rest, they tune not only dampers, but throttle speed, ABS, traction control infact you can radically alter the basic character of the bike again exactly like GT-R. This is very familiar territory to me but a GT-R is 84k exceptional value in the World of GT Supercars, granted, but I can have the Triumph XRT for 16.3k. It starts to look like very good Tech for mini-money. And, like Godzilla, it works, incredibly well. And, by the way, that 16.3k gets you the Arrow pipe included. I would definitely strip out the baffle, (-if you can ?), the standard Tigress is way too quiet for me, but theres a theme here, my hearings shot. Years of racing, helicoptering, playing in a band have taken its toll the standard 1200 XRT makes a very seductive guttural howl, but its pretty muted. The upside of which is, you will be travelling damn quickly across the continent, without drawing unwanted attention to yourself. In the real World apart from waking up dozey car drivers - result. On my return down the M6, I decided to try an experiment. With the cruise control set, I rode for miles and miles hands off the bars. Now dont get me wrong, I was ready to grab them at any time, but I had a suspicion that the Tiger would be ROCK STEADY, and so it proved. Literally, I could steer the bike, change lanes with a nudge of my knee like a really well schooled thoroughbred. Now Im not suggesting you should ride hands-off insurance companies and the boys from the federation may not approve but I am saying that this bike is so stable, so well balanced that you will only need the lightest inputs on the control. In short, she will not wear you out on long runs. Remember, if you dont want to, you dont even have to use the clutch. On the final morning with the Tiger, devoid of luggage, I set the riding mode to Sport, and fired it back to Pure with some pace. The baseline set-up of the motorcycle sharpened, and I wouldve heeled it over even more, but for the high centre of gravity. As I handed her back I got the biggest revelation of the whole three days. Upon telling Kevin about my reservations with the centre of mass of the bike, he immediately produced a lower seat option. Bonkers within two minutes Dom. had lowered the seat of the Tiger by 20 mm, I could put both feet flat on the deck, and my one criticism of the Tiger had been addressed. 200 including the heat! This one has to be a no-brainer if you are less than six foot, dont even think twice, drop that low seat on. I am certain that it wouldve transformed the traffic experience for me and, probably, made the screen, (even), more effective. The Tiger is rock steady and stable through mid-speed corners I found myself disinclined to move around the seat and hang off it in the way I do with my own motorcycles, but I think this is just a lack of familiarity with the chassis its complex. My Harley is simple, crude, it doesnt handle, but I know exactly what it will do in all situations. The Tiger is not that easy to read you will have to work at this bike, invest time. Im just scratching the surface at the point that I am writing this. But lets be clear that was the same with the Multistrada with Skyhook, or, even, the BMW 1250. The Tigers the Millenium Falcon Han or Chew-y can just jump in and fly it, but you cant, its complex. Which is the better bike ? Honestly, in my time I loved all three of these exceptional motorcycles. Just like the GT-R in the supercar arena, however, I can say one thing with clarity the Tiger is the best value. Its standard kit is immense, its comfort level executive safety is cutting edge. And as a business tool, its a weapon. In 2019, this brand listen to its customers and the products it is producing now are far better quality than they were, even five years ago, when I bought new. More expensive, sure, but just like the GT-R you dont have to ADD anything. Well, maybe if you are a short-arse like me, (I never realised I was until now ), a 200 lowered seat. But that is it. Spend your money instead on ferry tickets to the Riviera If youve never tried a Tiger 1200, give it a go. If youve got serious distance to travel, it could be the best thing youve ever sat astride. And Im not joking. Wed, 01 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT https://www.puretriumph.co.uk/news/the-speed-twinkeep-it-pure- THE SPEED TWIN KEEP IT PURE As the rain continued to slam down, I began to think Ive made a mistake here. All around me trucks came, fuelled and went. Id picked a truck stop off the M1 in which to don my BMW rain suit. I could see, smell, hell, even taste the crude oil slick that coated the rain-lashed paving slaps. And, in due course, I would have to navigate my way through several small diesel laced traffic islands, and back on to the M1 North. ****. What a dim move. In these conditions, my Harley Hot Rod does a passable impression of a skid car sideways to me is for cars, NOT motorcycles. And here I was, having chosen to negotiate the biggest oil slick since the Torrey Canyon. On someone elses motorcycle. Wait this thing has rider modes doesnt it ? Well, actually, I knew it did. Fifty metres after leaving Sloane Helicopters the day before I had stopped and stuck it in Sport. Why? Because this is Triumphs 270-degree 1200 parallel twin. Not exactly a massively powerful motor. Ive caned it in the Bobber, Thruxton R and Scrambler XE, sure, generous fluid thrust, but its not going to alarm an experienced rider Im guessing close on 100 horsepower. So, its standard drill to pop it straight into Sport easily done whilst at rest by a push button on the handlebar control and leave it in Sport. Then, truthfully, ride the nuts off it. Which is the great joy of these 1200s you can. A) they seem to like it, and B) its unlikely to unseat you. Unless youre a stupid enough to drive on in - to a pitch lake. Which is where we came in I put the Speed Twin back into Rain, at which point it became more Sensible Twin or Safety Twin. And getting back on to the M1 became a reality. I am massively impressed by that functionality the mode slows down the throttle response and cuts the power delivery. Substantially. If you were a newly qualified rider, you could do worse than spend a month or two stepping-up the three modes certainly anytime traction gets marginal experienced or otherwise dont hesitate. I confess; this is the first time Ive ever really got the whole modes thing brilliant active safety feature. Slipper clutch helps here too such an easy clean shift and really benign drive take up keeps the amount of work the traction control has to do to a minimum. Full marks Triumph. The Speed Twin LOOKS like it should have no safety features because it does an excellent job of winding back my nostalgia clock to 1978. Safety hadnt yet been invented. I was a young punk rocker, and the cool kids on the block all had Triumph Bonnevilles or wire-spoked rim Z650s no one cool had the Honda 750. The Bonnies pissed oil out of their ludicrously split crankcases, but in an era when the Japanese were held responsible for the terminal decline of our auto industry, (actually, we did it to ourselves complacency, idleness and shit management ), to ride a Triumph marked you out as true Brit. These days it marks you out as having good taste. I guess it all depends on your personal idea of the look in 2010 I first saw the 865 matt-metallic green Steve McQueen Scrambler. Had to have it. Not so the Thruxton, America or Bonneville, Liked them, but, not, for me, nearly as compelling. Same with the Speed Twin, handsome though it undoubtedly is. It seemed to be everyone elses look not quite mine. My first stop on picking the motorcycle up was the engineering department at Sloane helicopters plenty of interest from the young helicopter technicians, (amazing how the style of this bike appeals so strongly to people who wouldnt even have been born when this bike was a child ), who were keen to give it a diagnostic(!) run up and down Sywells runways, and my good luck to find a matching colour scheme Augusta as a backdrop for the first film clip. My mission was to recreate one of the epic journeys of my youth, (1978), I headed straight for the heart of London city, just like I did forty years ago. The excitement was unchanged sense of anticipation, nerves, and a plan to penetrate the very heart of London town. I remember that glorious day, same route in, same naked style of bike, same AGV AGO crash helmet denim jeans, leather jacket without any armour, and regular, stout boots. Stage was set. Traffics got a bit worse, mind Unfortunately, choosing the M1 in was a waste of this bike any bike actually, but especially this one. No bikini fairing or fly screen to deflect wind blast 90s as fast as you want to travel for any distance without one, but there is something that makes this bike even less suitable for sustained high speed travelling the questionable lack of noise. Those fantastic looking pipes might as well be Honda step-through pea-shooters the tone is fantastic but the volume is WAY too quiet. Traffic, (cars, full of zombies), do not even know you are there this scares me. The Speed Twin needs pipes like the desert needs the rain if it was mine, I wouldnt even take delivery until I had serious cans fitted or the guts ripped out of the standard ones. As an aside, this is my concern with the new electric bike revolution we are about to witness I have friends whove just come back from the launch training for the new electric Harley they say its fast but deadly. This I get I use my bikes extensively for traveling to gigs in the season, and my ragged old Sportster with the hideous-sounding Akrapovic pipes is undoubtedly THE safe option for long distance work cars hear me, cars get out of the way sorry, but thats the truth of it. On any other bike, (including this one), it doesnt happen. Back to the Speed Twin, and that engine its SUCH an improvement on the old 865 sounds crazy, but the 900 just isnt quite big enough anywhere. Torque, power, overtaking prowess long distance work. Ill qualify that; if you are in your first few years of biking after passing your test, the 900 will be fine probably more than enough. Five years of riding in; you need a 1200. It is smooth punchy and VERY efficient the MPG figures I was seeing at 70-80 MPH were incredible for an unfaired 1200. This could make the Speed Twin, (albeit with a bikini screen and SW Motech luggage), a pretty decent, if a little pricey, commuter. to ride, to run, and to live with. Bike feels tiny really like a two-fifty or something totally not intimidating to ride, to manoeuvre, etc. That is a very GOOD thing especially for novices, smaller riders, etc. Seat height is not particularly low though. Very well sculpted, but tall-ish. Bear that in mind. I never test any of these bikes with a pillion. Does anyone really ride a bike like this with a pillion these days ? Im taking my partner for a day out on a bike and, for example, Im borrowing a BMW 1600 bagger I dont think you would choose a Speed Twin as regular pillion machine of choice, Triumph have better bikes for that job, but Im equally certain that the cycle parts and engine on the Speedy are up to occasional two-up use. So, eventually I hit the city. Remember, its forty years since I last did this just for fun Ive commuted once or twice but the minimum, in and out, strictly. Quite a bit has changed Density of traffic now means that you have to be on your A-game all the time to survive. The Speed Twin draws admiring glances from all quarters traffic light halts become boutiques and I realise that the Triumph is eliciting the same reaction from passers-by and other traffic as it does from me. Its retro cool, and everyone likes it probably, especially, non-bikers of a certain age. Great styling cues. Its fast, nimble and you can thread it through traffic. Wish it was louder It's not a racer, thats for sure in the couple of hundred miles I rode the Speed Twin, I never felt inspired to really hang off it, even in the way I do my Harley lack of familiarity with the Pirelli Diablo tyres I guess, but more than that the suspension is decent, but its not the Ohlins quality that the Scrambler XE boasts, or the WP I sampled on the Tiger. And, though petite, the bike is quite tall, the centre of gravity of the bike certainly feels higher than the Bobber or Thruxton R. I dont think you will see many Speed Twins on track days, even though its the lightest of the 1200 twins, by some 10KG. But you will and do see them in the heart of the city. The Europeans will love this motorcycle. I spent a month last year living in Lisbon they adore their classic motorcycles, the Speed Twin will be a big hit in that capital city expect to see them in various stages of custom dress too, once the bike sheds get hold of them. I tore around the West End, revelling in the Triumphs unfussy pick-up, the light controls and the powerful brakes. I filmed the piece with the crazy girls cracking up in the background right outside Bar Remo just off Regent Street. Somehow a classic British twin pulled up on the pavement just outside one of Londons most established Eye-talian restaurants seemed appropriate. I was pretending to be an extra in Quadrophenia So who is the Speed Twin aimed at ? Thats trickier to pin down it is not as defined as the Bobber, Scrambler or Thruxton R its a great all-rounder but its not quite for me. I think it may be a blank canvas on which to create your own retro-ride, with plenty of quality engineering to justify its premium price positioning, (aluminium swing arm anyone ?). This bike will offend no one, but its also not a bike that changes the game in the way that, say, the XC800 does its Triumphs take on a performance Bonneville for the modern world, and its incredibly easy to live with. Next stop Regents Park, the inner circle. Time for my third piece for the camera. Its a reflection on riding in the city in the modern era. Last time I deliberately penetrated London by MOTO was some five years ago and it wasnt for pleasure. Just as well, it didnt turn out pleasurable. I was presenting a show for Mercedes Benz at Covent Garden, and I decided to commute on my 865 Scrambler. Admittedly it was in the rush hour, but it made me regret not taking the train. The 865 was hard work, it overheated and the clutch became sticky. Manoeuvring it required serious effort. Not so the Speed Twin tackling London traffic was relatively effortless, and the torque and drive off corners and junctions meant that I was always ahead of the traffic curve, comfort and safety-wise with the ABS, sticky Pirelli rubber, Brembos and programmable traction control. Add in LED lighting, and this retro take on the original 1938 bike boasts most of gear I paid substantially extra to add to my 1200 Harley roadster. In short, the Triumph comes well equipped. Bikings moved on since that epic ride-out in 1979. More crucially, bikings moved on even since I commuted here in 2014. The rate of change in the modern world is phenomenal. A 2010 Triumph twin looks steam-powered compared to a 2019 Triumph. Kids, youve never had it so good. And bikes like the Speed Twin do that oh-so refreshing thing when it comes to the sport we all love. They keep it PURE. Wed, 01 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT https://www.puretriumph.co.uk/news/speed-triple-rs-the-shape-of-things-to-come SPEED TRIPLE RS - THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME The best tribute I can pay to Triumphs Speed Triple RS is this: I feel like I have been riding it all my life. This bike is not only the best Triumph I have ever ridden its possibly the best motorcycle full-stop. Not necessarily my favourite, that honour goes to one of the Ducatis, but the BEST motorcycle? Yes, it really is that good. Lets look at the facts. Chassis, massive, forged aluminium structure, sharing the rigidity of a well a cannon ball. I cannot think of anything more rigid. Engine 148 PS 1050 Triple driving through the slickest gearbox this side of a race bike. Arrow pipes with titanium end cans, tuned and tuneful. Brembo, four-pot radial brakes one finger retardation from any speed. Super sticky Pirelli rubber and the plushest, best matched Ohlins damping front and rear. Apart from a windshield what are you going to add to this bike? Premium fuel thats about it. 13 600 gets you a naked Superbike and I use the word Superbike advisedly. How so? Because it does pretty much everything BRILLIANTLY. OK, its not a grand tourer and youre not going to motocross on it. But scratch, trackday commute, tool around even as I discovered go to jobs on it, and you are going to be in heaven. You will never need more of anything, (except wind protection), than this bike has. You might need more driving licences than one, actually How fast is it? Shatteringly fast in all situations. Winding on the throttle took me back, way back when, to that feeling I had when I first slung my leg over Suzukis bonkers RG500 - **** - hang on! or again, when I first met Hondas, then brand-new concept, the Fireblade, cant find enough road to hold the throttle against the stop the RS is HARDCORE. It appears to weigh very little, is as tiny as a 4-600 between your legs, and the power band is totally linear. Apart from the dying horribly in horrific circumstances connotation, Id rename it the Triumph Speed Titanic, thats how big that engine feels. Vast How do I feel about the looks of the RS? I admit to being conflicted here. Ive NEVER liked the look of these naked streetfighter-type front ends to me, the bug-eyes look ugly. Ducati, as they so often do, (Ive just got back from Belgium where I was reunited with the supermodel 999), aced the looks-race in this segment with, first, the Monster, then the Streetfighter. No one else comes close for style not even the RS. Look more closely, however, and the RSs detail finish comes alive Triumph have really gone to town on this bike, and I, for one, am very glad. Twenty years ago, I bought a 748 SPS I remember it costing about 13k then. It was stunning and exquisite. But just over 13k in 2019 will buy you something that, whilst not nearly as exotic, would TEAR THE ASS out of the supermodel Ducati, despite its Ohlins, titanium conrods, lattice-work trellis frame - and WSBK chops. That, in my book, makes the RS exceptional value for money. Funnily enough, the RS shares a whole host of the SPSs design cues. Massive single-sided swing arm, twin pipes out of the back of the seat plus that motorsport DNA, (RS engine is a cubed-version of Triumphs MOTO2 mill), but there is a major differentiator usability. Triumphs Speed Triple RS is fast all the time, and it is really easy to ride quickly. The 748 SPS was so focused, you had to be 100% on your game all the time, I still remember wheel-spinning as I shifted into fifth on a waterlogged, cambered, A5 curve, I remember being cranked hard over on the Towcester roundabout and picking up a truck wheel nut that lifted the tyre an inch off the deck scary moments both. The RS is, no doubt, bristling with rider aids, (I didnt ask ), but in the three days I lived with it, she didnt flinch the correct terminology is planted I picked up the RS at close of play the night before a job in Cambridge. We recorded the opening piece inside the dealership, using a brand-new bike. Immediate observations were: its tiny although the 1050 makes superbike power, its proportions are more middleweight sportster. The triple engine is incredibly compact, and the riding position is on the comfort side of sporting. You can live with this motorcycle. Heading out in to the Northamptonshire rush hour traffic, I was struck by just how civilised she was. Admittedly I had just stepped off the Harley I wound her open on the twelve-mile ride back to my place, controls superlight, fantastic exhaust note, perfect fuelling, (becoming apparent this is a Triumph speciality), and zero wind protection. At 100 mph my AGV AGO helmet was being slammed back so hard into my face, I could barely breathe this thing needs some sort of screen urgently. Or maybe it doesnt ? Im pretty sure if it wasnt for the helmet flattening my face, I wouldve been at 125. Or 145. Or, maybe, 165 Im glad I never found out. Perhaps that is the point of PURE naked, it holds down your speed ? A motorbike of this performance SHOULD be intimidating. It just isnt. I realised, its all about its absolute rideability. Its a pussycat. But so is a Tiger after a fashion. Its not a touring bike, but I packed enough luggage and kit in my Givi waterproof roll bag to handle a couple of days away on the road, Samsung tablets, laptop, gym kit you name it, it was in there. The bag was heavy, but honestly, bungeeing it down on the pillion pad was pretty much rock steady. So yes, you could head out on holiday on the RS hell, you could probably take a pillion at a push and there is enough of everything for the bike to cope. But I dont think that that is the point of this motorcycle. And that, for me, is the Speed Triples Achilles heel Im not quite sure where it fits in especially not if you have a one bike garage ? Ive never bought one, despite loving that powerhouse of an engine so much. And heres why: In the days when I wanted to go this fast, I wanted a race replica. And this isnt that. By the time Id passed that stage, I wanted had to - to sit more upright, I was into my Monster phase, 70 110 PS and the beat of a twin. The nth degree of hardware was no longer a deal-breaker for me probably still isnt. So, who will pick a 1050 RS ? Anyone who wants the best value performance motorcycle on the planet, thats who. Show me another motorcycle with such exquisite pedigree for anything like the price ? But do leave enough money in the deal for a bikini screen Anyways, I set out on the road to Cambridge, fully loaded, and for the next couple of days had an absolute ball. Lets be clear; when you sling your leg over the RS you HAVE to be really disciplined. You WILL NOT do 70 mph or anything like it I defy you to stay below 100. You wont, because this is a motorcycle that feels rock-stable at 120, it suckers you in. It was extremely tiresome on that vile stretch of the A14 where they are building something hideous, and there are twenty miles of 50 and 40 MPH average speed cameras this is not a motorcycle that wants to crawl along ever. It was just plain bored. And so was I. In fact, the traffic all the way into Cambridge was tiresome and on this motorcycle that feels like a waste. Eventually I arrived at the dealership where I was delivering the training, and dismounted. Everybody liked the RS in fact I was invited to park her INSIDE the dealership which is where I took the picture next to the GT-R. In many ways the RS is an excellent stablemate for the GT-R. Both are about as fast as you can go on two and four wheels respectively. Both probably need a racetrack to fully exploit youll run out of road too quickly on/in either. And both have a full suite of programmable pilot modes all of which are various degrees of fast I tried to max out the 1050 I really did. When that charismatic triple passed 7500 rpm it was making so much thrust that I could barely shift the gears fast enough despite the quick shifter and I would be using up road at a rate that felt a little like I was in a video game. Intoxicating, but always in the back of my mind: theres no reset button Can a bike be too fast for the road after all, a throttle rolls both ways ? I think maybe it can. When I rode the 765 version of the Triple, I remember getting off ticking not the bike, me. Well, the bike as well. It went and sounded like MOTO GP. The RS is +35%. Fortunately, Triumph have loaded the survival dice in your favour; lets look at why: Rubber first; the Pirelli Supercorsa, once warm, dig in and grip and manage to harness the immense acceleration, braking and cornering g. Thank God. Brakes: The very latest four-piston radial Brembos astonishingly these manage to generate enormous pressure with the lightest of touch but somehow the first part of the bite has sublime feel normally you have one or the other; here both. Probably a lot to do with the Ohlins. Readers of earlier tests will know how I feel about this top quality kit ride quality is off the scale, you will have so much confidence in the chassis, there is a real danger you will start to take the piss, and get yourself into substantial trouble Im talking from experience here Gearbox, somehow, NEVER gives you a false neutral, and needs the lightest of pushes up or down, clutch is lighter than my Chinee minkey bike, and those aural titanium Arrow pipes will encourage you to exploit the extra 1000 rpm Triumph have given the 2019 bike and warn other road users youre coming too. The RS is not an, overall, noisy bike, but the sound it does make is, well, delicious. Reminds me of a piped Mazda rotary, an angry wail that builds and builds. The single best thing about Triumphs 1050 RS? It looks after its rider in every way, it doesnt have an ounce of malevolence in its 189 kg, and ANYONE can ride it. Youll be thinking by this stage; Deeks has gone mad; hes in the employ of Triumph. Far from it; I only agreed to write these tests for the Pure group on the understanding they publish everything I write, regardless. I suggest you take the 1050 RS, and tell me Im wrong. I have to do a paragraph on stuff that I dont like. That was it. No, actually, the look of the front end, that bug-eye vibe. It should come with a little smoked Perspex fly screen. The Arrow pipes could be louder. That, actually, IS it. Wed, 01 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT https://www.puretriumph.co.uk/news/rocket-3-king-rocket Rocket 3 - King Rocket Roll-on, Roll-off. This is an expression that every new Rocket3 owner will become very familiar with. Roll-on? All day, every day. Why? Because its an intoxicating thing to do when you are Captain of the Worlds torquiest ever motorcycle 221 NM, believe it or not. In fact, why change gear? Dont bother, you dont need to. You could cog-swap, however, simply because its probably the nicest motorcycle gearbox youve ever used, and its a pleasure... But you dont need to. IF you miss a gear on this bike rest assured, its YOU. Youre doing something very wrong. So, just wind back that throttle. The torque is linear, immense and seamless. And never ending though you will never actually need to use more than 4000 rpm to show a clean pair of wheels to every game in town. Fueling? Impeccable, throughout the range. Roll-off ? Police cars, speed cameras, city limits because you are scared by the speed you are doing all of these are completely legitimate reasons to roll off or, maybe, just so you can roll back on again. Perfectly good reason. Oh, and to hear the fruity popping on the overrun though you will need a pipe to properly appreciate that confection, the standard R is way too quiet like an Exocet in Stealth mode. The astonishing thing about this bike, is that, once on the move, it does this very weird thing; it shrink-wraps itself around you. Before you get astride it, it looks enormous, once onboard and MOVING you actually forget its a Rocket3, it steers and manoeuvres like any other modern roadster you can even filter with it, and at the lights the low cut seat and wide bars mean the considerable mass never threatens to overwhelm. I have to put my cards on the table here it was with some trepidation that I accepted this assignment; Ill explain. A couple of years ago I borrowed the original Pure Rocket3, and took it on a cross-country thrash to Stratford upon Avon. And I didnt like it that much. Considering Ive covered thousands of miles on big Harleys, BMW GS Adventures et all, this surprised me. I just couldnt make sense of the thing; it wasnt endearing to me. The engine didnt feel that powerful, and at 2.3l, I guess I was expecting it to. I remember this massive tank spreading my legs in-front of me, an OK riding position, but sitting a little too high to really feel confident with the bikes balance. I wasnt going to be filtering, (an essential part of a working motorcycles repertoire ), anytime soon. For getting in and out of events the city racetracks basically anywhere, this machine was never going to be on my shopping list. A great idea, mediocrely executed with apologies to those that love their classic Rocket3s. I have been told that for very tall, physically enormous riders, the original concept was a firm favourite, that I get. Roll forward, the new decade. I know this bike is coming, its on my radar. I remember doing a thousand miles on Ducatis Diavel when first launched, and having a ball on that motorcycle, though it didnt really make sense or fit in to any obvious bracket. Ducati, like they did with the Monster, creating a new category. Very clever marketing. I guess Rocket3/2 had that sort of vibe. When Kev. From Pure called me up to wish me Happy New Year, talk soon became about the 2020 road test series, and the season opener which had just, literally, hit town enter the Rocket. Despite the sh***y weather and road conditions, I turned up nervously on January the 24th with helmet in hand. Well, actually in my SUV, (dont judge; it tows the race car ), the roads were too slimy and the weather too cold to dig out either of my bikes, in optimate-induced hibernation for the winter. After the usual excellent walk-a-round and briefing from Pures stellar sales guru Dom, I slung a leg over this new icon from Triumph, the Rocket3-R. First observations of this ground breaking motorcycle were NOT its big, but more, its beautifully detailed. And it is. Custom shops wont appreciate this level of finish and individualisation from a factory-stock motorcycle but customers undoubtedly will. Unlike my Harley, where I had to spend the cost of the bike again, the Rocket needs a pipe and a screen. Maybe some soft luggage when they make some and thats you done. Probably just as well, with the base bike topping out at 20k. But customers will be mad for the detail, it is beautifully done. This is Triumph moving everything up a gear and taking a gamble doing it. Let me explain: My 2010 Scrambler that I bought new was a budget take on lifestyle. It looked damn cool, in Steve McQueen matt-metallic green, but that was because Triumph owned the DNA for this kind of low-tech parallel twin. Look closely at the Thai cycle parts, electrics and suspension and you quickly realised that you get what you pay for in life. Consider my last eight bikes before had been Ducatis; the last five, different flavours of Monster. I had been used to something way better styled and engineered. The Scrambler did the job and I loved it for its retro cool, and it generally delivered me on time and safely over 1000 miles, but I knew that my next bike would be more sophisticated. Why? Because the Soviet-era build quality could be wearing, however neat the concept was and despite the fact I had big fun and covered lots of touring miles. And some design elements were straight lame who designed the 2010 Scrambler speedo binnacle you should be ashamed. Overall, no regrets, good motorcycle, but simply not compelling. I didnt HAVE to replace it with another one. Not good for building the brand. The 1200 Scrambler I tested in 2019 broke that mould into a thousand pieces, with its Brembo brakes and Ohlins suspension and sufficient power and torque to eat up Gods highway at a decent rate. Plus a much funkier look. Yes, dont kid yourself that look is not the key criteria to MOST bikers. My pass/fail guide is, when I see my bike parked up somewhere as I return to it, I have to be inspired by my choice. I always want to think yeah, thats my baby. That is why we bikers spend so much time on customising our rides. Style. Its key. This Rocket3 is yet more authoritive again. It has a superb level of kit and detailing. OK, I couldnt work the suspension hard because of the lack of tyre temperature, but I can tell you, on my ride form Pure to Classic Performance Engineering and back, it behaved impeccably. Define? As soon as you are on the move you will completely get the ergonomics; sculpted low seat with a little bum-backrest cut into it because you are going to experience astronaut levels of thrust, (221 NMs the Worlds torquiest motorcycle, bar none), the cutaway that means that a 5 11 guy like me can put both feet on the ground the low centre of gravity that means it NEVER makes its vast heft felt in a bad way the wide bars and raked out chassis that is passively anti-wheelie all of these conspire to make you forget those big numbers, and relax in to what is a really enjoyable ride. Rocket3-Rs engine pulls the rug right out from underneath Harleys new electric concept it delivers torque in EXACTLY the same way a big electric motor would; i.e., from zero RPM, and in a totally linear, seamless explosive way. In deference to my Pures - test bikes 600-mile old engine, I kept my RPM down to around 4000 and so will you. regardless of mileage. If you wind this bike round to the red line on anywhere other than a runway or empty motorway, you will not be long for this life. Put simply, if you wind the motor on between 3-4000 RPM you will be accelerating so hard you will need to consciously remember things like breathing and blinking its the easiest thing you will have ever ridden to get going VERY quickly. And super smooth too. Last year I tested the BMW K1600 with its silky-smooth six-cylinder engine. Triumphs 2.5l inline three is every bit as smooth but with more character and, dare I say it, better fuelling. Its a better motorcycle engine all round. And I really enjoyed the BMW, dont get me wrong. Fuelling. In pursuit of emissions and economy, I imagined this would be the stock bikes compromise Ive ridden enough 1850 Harleys to know what a compromised fuel map can do its so lean off idle you nearly stall at the lights. Not this Superfortress, she pulls from the throttle stop with all the finesse of a Scalextric controller. You want 1% throttle? No problem. 27%? Fine. The full stoichiometric all the way through. Congratulations Triumph. Maybe you can share that knowledge with BMW ... January is not the best month in the UK in which to evaluate ANY motorcycle much less something with this much torque. Its pretty clear the tyres never get any temperature the whole journey. Its not that Im not a hardcore biker, (Im not), but even with heated gloves and heated neck collar, a naked hyperbike that punts up to 90 clicks in a heartbeat adds substantial windchill factor. I was damn cold. And so was the bike. Nevertheless, this is a very quick motorcycle with massive street presence even with the whisper quiet standard R exhausts. People treat you with respect reverence, even, similar to the vibe when you commute on a Diavel. The industrial strength and size radial Brembos are sensational, hauling the speed off like an aircraft carrier arrestor hook. Truthfully, this only makes you use the throttle harder, and hang on to it longer. The Showa suspension is pretty much perfect magic carpet ride, more Range Rover Evoke than Maserati Gran Turismo, but for the owner of this motorcycle, Im going to guess that is the right pitch. And, regardless of what broken and banded road surface I traversed, I couldnt make the Rocket shake its head or squirm. Its planted. The massive rear Avon Chrome matched with a chunky front that give the R a distinctive bobber stance are well matched, its not a fast steering bike, but boy, is it accurate. I found I would pick a line and squeeze open the throttle as I clipped the apex you will always know where you are going to end up on the Rocket3. Probably in jail. I have to retest this bike in summer to see how it handles spirited riding, (or, at least thats my excuse), but first impressions are incredibly positive. I know from speaking to the early adopters that they love this motorcycle, not just like, love. I get that. There is no question that the price will be a major challenge for some would-be owners. Plus, arguably, no one needs anything this big either. But thats not the point. I do some work for Ford Motor Company it was all I could do to stop myself getting a 99-year PCP on a Bullitt V8 5.0 Mustang I cant afford a Ford GT I cant even afford a Fiesta actually - but one slip of the pen and I could just about have bought a working mans muscle car. In that context, and in the World of clever, seductive financial products, the 20k Rocket represents sensational value for money it will stop people in their tracks for, by icon standards, mini-money. And if you like riding, you have a fantastic summer ahead in the saddle, pretty much guaranteed. Plus there is one further serious consideration here: I have a feeling that, just like the 5.0 V8 Ford, this concept of mega-motorcycle may, for a multitude of reasons, be living on borrowed time. My advice? Get a road-test, if it moves you, and you can - get one. Your children will likely not ever have the opportunity Steve Deeks is a classic racer, event presenter, trainer, pilot who grew up with, loves, and extensively rides, bikes www.stevedeeks.com Wed, 01 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT https://www.puretriumph.co.uk/news/speed-triple-1200-rs-review The WASP Two years is a lifetime in the World of Superbikes. This is one such. Since I and she last met, shes grown an extra 150cc, a stack of PS and torque, and now wears better jewellery than Ducatis finest. On a Streetfighter this kind of kit would be, frankly, ridiculous. But thats just the point; this isnt really a conventional Streetfighter. Sure she LOOKS like one, from a distance, but in when you get closer, theres nothing hacked, or chopped about Triumphs new Speed Triple RS. Yep the angry hornet look appearing in your rear view mirrors at first glance shrieks bare knuckle brawler, but throw a leg over this machine, and that melts away. What you will actually be thinking is Im not up to it, and Im not sure I was. It was, frankly, a lot better a ride than I am a rider. Heres why: Historical perspective first; in 2019, I remember taking the 1050 Speed Triple RS on a GTR gig and loving it. Bonkers fast, but with the manners of an Eton Rifle. Beautifully equipped, I remember the bike, laden with all of my kit bungeed on, HATING the 40MPH contraflows with a passion, and me being bored and uncomfortable with no wind blast on my chest. But I also remember thinking the surplus of EVERYTHING made the 1050 Speed Triple RS safe in a way that its data would suggest not. In short, she was uber competent. I thought it was frickin brilliant, looking back on, and re-reading my test bears that out. I do remember saying in the little video that I was glad to give her back - whilst I still had a valid licence. Roll forward to post-apocalyptic 2021 Britain, and I feel different about the all-new 1200. I remember the 24 hours I spent with her being a frenzy of, (sublimely), controlled aggression, feeling like Id jumped on an Ascot flat racer that had, for some reason gone insane with me hanging on for grim death. After studying the Triumph website, I now understand why the horse gone crazy Triumphs quartermasters have equipped her with the goods to get the job done in every department. Except, perhaps, the department badged comfort. In short - the 2021 Speed Triple RS is a gangster, a thug of that, there can be no question. The word brutal sprang to mind numerous times. Case in point a beautiful early morning start, and Im heading North to spend the day at Whilton Mill Kart Track coaching one of my proteges. Its 7.30AM and Im zipping down the A46, dispatching cars at a ridiculous and contemptuous rate of knots, trying to mind my own business, and remain anonymous, and failing absolutely. This is not a stealth motorcycle. As I head out of Coventry, scything through Ryton, Ive left the traffic SO far behind leaving the island, I think lets see what these brakes can deliver like you do. Crass mistake. Bang almost before Ive had time to re-consider my stupidity, the WASP grinds my crown jewels into the finely crafted fuel tank with all the subtlety of a twelve gauge. Its a good trick if it wasnt my nuts in the cracker. The RS will, on warm tarmac, outbreak anything this side of a GTR. And in a savage manner too. Its not just the Radial Brembos or the massive Ohlins forks or even the track sticky Metz. RRs its the way Triumph stitch it all together in this assassins toolkit of a bike. It stops harder than any road bike I have ever ridden and all but a handful of race bikes too. Its insane for the highway, well, maybe not, if it stops you imbedding the thing in the side of an Evoke Heres the elephant in the room for me; how could you use this bike WITHOUT a screen of some sort? And, if you faired it, it would be a Panigale. Or, something more focussed Perhaps its just me, but a bike that accelerates this fast to 100MPH is going to spend a lot of its life at, or above this figure. For legal reasons, lets pretend its on a track so it needs to work at this figure, and, unfaired, it just doesnt. Your first purchase will be, at least, a flyscreen. Or maybe I am just old, (dont answer ), but naked, the WASP even made my ELBOWS hurt. No bike has ever made my naked elbows hurt before, but this one did. The 100MPH wind blast made them sting. Yes, OK, I know, I shouldve been wearing a jacket. Riding position feels more ass-up, head-down wristy than its 1050 2019 incarnation the seat came too tall for me, given more time I wouldve undoubtedly lowered and softened everything. I will ride this one again, no question, for a second assessment. The adjustability of this thoroughbred was simply outside the scope of my 24hr jail break, time was short and I focused on getting where I needed to go pretty much as fast as I dared. This is not a sustainable strategy, and I knew it at the time. But excellent fun, none the less. The engine is a monster really. Idling along at 90MPH it sounds busy in an off-the-cam, off-the-pipe, lean-fuel map kind of way but twist her open, and at a certain point maybe 7500 rpm things start to go ape-shit, feral and she howls in a visceral frenzy of noise. Why dont I know the exact RPM ? Because I wanted to LIVE, you will NOT be looking at the rev-counter when she hits the powerband, I promise you On the standard pipe, (they dont even make or need to make - an Arrow for this one), WASP starts to suck in air so fast you can feel it going supersonic. I couldnt tell whether it was the intake or exhaust that dominated the soundscape. Combined they sound epic, I have no idea what kind of rpm I was using, because by then there was no line on the horizon, and I darent take my eyes of the the tunnel of light ahead. How real world fast is she? I came off the A46 island towards Stratford upon Avon on the homeward leg, and ahead of me was a new Carrera 4S Targa. The women behind the wheel, rather than pulling to the left to let me by, opened the taps. So did I. The Speed Triple kept trying to shovel her out of the way up to 140MPH after which I aborted the mission. Its seriously quick. Gearshift is near perfect, standard Triumph actually, clutch is light, controls are well spaced and ergonomically perfect. Frankly it wouldnt have mattered WHAT was on the LCD dash youre not going to be looking anywhere but the road if you want to live, that is. For perspective, the 1979 911 Carrera SC that I am racing this year had, as standard from Porsche, 180 PS. The Speed Triple RS has 180 PS. The Porsche weighs SIX times as much. Let that sink in for a moment How much quicker is the 2021 compared to the 2019 I tested. A big chunk. Maybe 25%. How much BETTER a motorcycle? Thats a completely different question. For me, it isnt. Its actually too focused. Im simply too old. Cards on the table. And Im not good enough. Its a naked TT ride. For the right rider I imagine it is nirvana, the bike they sketched in the drawing office of their dreams. Ive agreed to re-vist the RS for a second evaluation, maybe get to spend a little more time with her. See how I feel then. Issue I have is, Ive ridden the Rocket3 R, granted, its a lot more money and a different kind of motorcycle - but in this case I would find the extra money. Re-read my test, I adored the big banger. Less PS 167 vs 180, easy to ride fast, also a rebel ride but more laughs. And I think a bike should make you laugh out loud. This one made my eyes water. Steve Deeks. June 2021.
