Hyped for some new Triumph motorcycles? Well, Triumph has officially unveiled the 2022 update for the Speed Twin yesterday! Its main update is Euro 5 compliance, but there is a slew of updates we will break down.
First of all, the engine – it’s taken from the Bonneville. It is a 1,200cc twin engine that produces 98,6 horsepower (at 7,250 rpm) and 82,6 lb-ft of torque at 4,250 rpm. Triumph states that they tweaked the engine a bit to provide more power and torque in the mid-range. They also claim the recommended service interval for the engine is set at every 16,000 kilometers (or 10,000 miles).
Along with the updated engine, Triumph has also played around with handling for this updated Speed Twin. First, we have a 43mm USD Marzocchi front fork with 120mm of travel. On the other hand, the twin rear shock features adjustable preload and provides 120mm of travel. The wheels are extra lightweight, 17 inches in diameter, and wrapped in dope Metzeler Racetec RR tires.
Braking on the 2022 Speed Twin is enabled by the 320mm front twin discs and 220mm rear discs.
Now, let’s talk about the included technologies. The 2022 Triumph Speed Twin will feature:
- ABS
- Toggleable traction control
- LED lighting
- Road, Rain, and Off-Road riding modes
- Torque-assist clutch
- USB charging socket under the seat
- Immobilizer
We dig the styling of the updated Speed Twin. Three color variants are available:
- Red Hopper
- Matt Storm Grey
- Jet Black
The 2022 Triumph Speed Twin will be priced at $12,500/€10,232/£8,820. Prices will be different at each dealership, so make sure to inquire at your nearest Triumph dealership for all the things you need to know further.
