Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS 2022

Precise, powerful and fast! The Triumph is a lot of fun on Alpine passes. However, you can only forgive the tight chassis if you are a sporty rider. But you have to love the engine. No matter whether you're strolling or heating up - the power is always available in a well-dosed manner.

Incredibly universal - rides easily in city traffic but also dead fast when needed

Rev-happy and powerful engine

Top quickshifter

Can be ridden quietly when needed

Light and compact ride

Stable handling even in fast corners

Strong brakes

Precise handling.

Quickshifter good, but not perfect

sound still a bit intrusive

still with vibrations in handlebars
