About the Triumph Speed Twin 900cc

While the familiar liquid-cooled Bonneville parallel twin, complete with machined air-cooled-look finning, is now Euro 5+ compliant but otherwise unchanged, the chassis gets a major revamp. The handling is sportier than before thanks to beefier upside-down front Marzocchi forks, new Marzocchi twin shocks, lighter wheels (18-inch diameter front, 17-inch rear), Michelin Road Classic tyres and a larger 320mm diameter disc and new radial four-piston brake caliper. A new swingarm is lighter, and the wheelbase has been chopped by 15mm. The riding position is roomier, with the bars now mounted 15mm higher and 3.5mm further forward, the pegs set 6.5mm lower, and the seat raised by 15mm. A new display, with full Bluetooth connectivity available as an option, replaces the twin analogue clocks, allowing you to play with the two riding modes (Road and Rain) and make full use of the new lean-sensitive rider aids, which, along with an IMU, are newly introduced.
