Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS 2026

The high-quality suspension elements with the semi-active Öhlins suspension, the Brembo system with Brembo brake cylinder, the top-class quickshifter and the magnificent engine installed in the Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS make it a bike that bears the name "RS" not for marketing reasons, but because it has earned it. The only thing that bothered me was the lack of wind protection, because anyone who has ridden over 200 km on a naked bike knows how exhausting it is, even if you make yourself as small as possible. So if you plan to ride it on the race track more often, you could invest in some form of wind protection. All in all, it's a fantastic all-rounder bike that has proven its worth on the race track. On the one hand, it's an outstandingly fun country road bike thanks to its agility and torque. On the other hand, thanks to its top performance, premium equipment and stability, it is a sharp weapon on the race track that has nothing to hide from any super sports bike.
