Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Speed Triple RS 2018

Triumph Speed Triple RS 2018

The new Speed Triple has a few things over its predecessor. It is stronger and smarter than the old model, revs higher and is lighter. Switching to the new model is worthwhile if you value these aspects and have the necessary change at hand. In return, you get a versatile motorbike that combines riding comfort for longer country road rides with the riding fun you want for the racetrack. Agile, handy, smart and powerful. This is the best way to describe the Speedy and it will definitely find at least as much favour among its fans as its predecessor.
