Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS 2021

Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS 2021

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.

Rev-happy and powerful engine

Top quickshifter

Can be driven quietly when needed

Light and compact ride

Stable handling even in fast corners

Strong brakes
