Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Triumph Speed Triple R 2017

Like its predecessor, the Speed Triple R delights with its high-quality, sensitively responding Öhlins suspension and its stunning looks. The design remains true to its line - which can only please the many fans. The engine's braking and responsiveness can hardly be complained about, but the lack of power on the competition and the somewhat sluggish handling can certainly be forgiven, after all, the Speed Triple is a classic with history and the design is legendary - which is much more important to true fans than the one or two extra horsepower.

Powerful and unique three-cylinder engine

brute brakes

well-functioning ewlectronic features

excellent Öhlins suspension components

traditional look.

somewhat sluggish handling

high surcharge for the R version
