2014 Triumph Speed Triple ABS

Chassis

• As you take control of the Speed Triple you are in no doubt that it’s made for sports riding, but you can tell we built it for the real world too.
• The Speed Triple is all about high performance precision and control. So the bars are low, the footrests high and set back and the seat is sculpted deep to hold you in a forward-leaning position.
• Riding Position:
• Swingarm is also incredibly stiff, resulting in a super-stiff chassis that's rigid enough for the hardest track use and tough enough for real world roads.
• The swingarm is aluminum and features an eccentric chain adjuster so that the rear wheel stays perfectly in line with the front for focused, precise handling.
• Single-sided Swingarm:
• We fitted lightweight cast aluminum wheels and a wide 6 inch rim on the back to take the grippiest, sports-focused rubber the Speed Triple deserves.
• Wheels and Tires:
• To match the Speed Triple’s level of handling and power we fitted Brembo's radial 4-piston calipers, with the option of ABS, for outstanding stopping power and feel.
• Brakes:
• The upside down forks on the Speed Triple are high quality Showa units, 43 mm in diameter with adjustable rebound and compression damping, while the centrally-mounted, 1 rear shock also has adjustable spring preload. So you can set the Speed Triple up for a gentle outing or an on-the-edge track day and it'll perform brilliantly.
• Suspension:
• And we’ve kept the geometry sharp, with a steep 22.8-degree steering angle, short 1,435 mm wheelbase and just 90.9 mm of trail to give you breathtaking responsiveness and agility.
• Frame:
• The Speed Triple introduced an all-new frame in 2011 to give you more forward weight distribution for sharper handling and exceptional front end feel.

Engine

• The liquid-cooling, double overhead cams of the Speed Triple operate 12 valves and rev out beyond 10,000 rpm.
• Configuration:
• Performance:
• And, we’ve finely tuned the 3-into-2 exhaust like a musical instrument to enhance the engine's torque and make it snarl even more angrily as the revs build.
• The power of the Speed Triple comes from a muscle-packed 3-cylinder, 1,050 cc engine. Serious top end performance comes from a huge 135 PS, backed up by 111 Nm of peak torque with plenty more muscle lower down the rev range. Giving you instant thrust regardless of revs or gear. And, with our high tech fuel injection all the power comes smoothly and relentlessly, right when you ask for it.

Equipment and Technology

• Immobilizer:
• ABS:
• The 4-piston, radially-mounted Brembo front calipers, with optional electronic ABS make 100 calculations per second to prevent wheel lock up at either end.
• We’ve made sure your bike is protected by a coded key immobilizer system which disables the ignition if it detects an attempt to turn or force the ignition switch without the presence of the electronically coded correct key.
• Instruments / Computer:
• A serious bike needs a high level of equipment so the Speed Triple, with its modern, single purpose chassis, is driven by the latest technology.
• The instrumentation is part digital, part analog so that you are presented with the most intuitive display of information. We also added programmable gear change lights, service interval reminder, lap timer, trip computer and fuel gauge, everything the focused performance rider needs.

Styling

• Headlights:
• Exhaust:
• Frame:
• Stripped back bodywork, it looks muscular, hunched forward, mean and aggressive because that’s exactly what the Speed Triple is.
• Bodywork:
• The trademark twin pentagon headlights ensure there’s no mistaking what’s coming.
• The twin silencers beneath the short, stubby tail section of the Speed Triple leave the rear wheel fully exposed on the right by the cool, 1-sided swingarm. Not for looks, for real world sports bike riding. It just happens to look great.
• A thoroughly modern twin-tube, twin spar frame wrapped tight around a bulging powerhouse of an engine. The Speed Triple’s unmistakable structure is pure unadulterated Triumph.
