TRIUMPH Speed Triple (2014-2015) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2014, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Speed Triple, a naked sports machine that debuted in 1994. The 1994 Hinckley Triumph was one of the first machines with a streetfighter style without an aerodynamic plastic fairing.

Compared to the first models, the 2014 machine evolved into an aggressive-looking, well-handling, and powerful machine that benefited from a new chassis, more power, and visual enhancements.

In the visual department, the 2014 Triumph Speed Triple had standard features, such as a twin headlight system, a color-matched fly screen, a one-piece dual seat, an under-seat-mounted exhaust system, a single-sided swingarm, and 10-spoke lightweight wheels.

Underneath its fuel tank, the 2014 Triumph Speed Triple had installed a 1,050cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by an electronic fuel injection system, delivering 136 hp at 9,400 rpm and 111 Nm (82 lb-ft) torque with a peak force at 7,750 rpm.

The bike's power was handled by a six-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch, spinning the rear wheel through a final X-ring chain drive.

The bike's suspension system comprised a 43 mm upside-down Showa fork on the front and an adjustable Showa shock absorber on the rear, offering excellent suspension performance and handling capabilities.

As for the braking power, the bike's wheels were fitted with two 320 mm floating discs tied to four-piston calipers on the rear and a 255 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, providing excellent stopping power.
