Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS 2021

Précise, puissante et rapide ! La Triumph est très amusante dans les cols alpins. Mais on ne lui pardonne son châssis rigide que si l'on est un pilote sportif. En revanche, on ne peut qu'aimer le moteur. Que ce soit en flânant ou en conduisant endiablée, la puissance est toujours bien dosée.
Triumph Speed Triple S 2016

La Speed Triple reste fidèle à sa ligne dans sa dernière génération - une moto naked délicieusement affûtée, qui marque le style streetfighter comme peu d'autres modèles. Pour la piste de course, elle n'a qu'un intérêt limité - bien sûr, le moteur trois cylindres rugissant de 140 ch procure énormément de plaisir et le châssis ne présente pas de grosses faiblesses, mais il existe une Speed Triple R avec des éléments de suspension Öhlins, qui se sent naturellement plus à l'aise sur la piste de course. Dans l'ensemble, la Speed Triple S est un excellent chasseur de routes, qui a également beaucoup à offrir sur le plan esthétique.
