At the British 1937 National Motorcycle Show, Triumph launched the Speed Twin. The 500cc OHV vertical twin engine stuffed in a lightweight frame was the first successful British parallel twin, and the motorcycle set the standard for many future twins. The 1937 Speed Twin is considered to have been responsible for the survival of Triumph after WW2.
In 2019 Triumph re-introduced the name to the market, as a bike with the custom style of the Street Twin, but with more shiny details.
Borrowed from the Thruxton R, the beating heart of the new bike was a specifically updated 1,200cc High Power 8 valve, liquid-cooled parallel twin. The engine update includes a new magnesium cam cover, revised clutch assembly, and new mass-optimized engine covers. The engine weight is 2.5 kg (5.5 pounds) lighter than Thruxton’s engine, and can deliver 97 Hp (72 kW) at 6,750 rpm and a torque of 112 Nm (83 lb-ft) at 4,950 rpm. It has a dry weight of 196 kg (432 lb).
The new Triumph Speed Twin comes with three riding modes (Sport, Road, and Rain), ABS, Ride-by-wire, USB charging socket, and new 7-spoke aluminum wheels.
The three color combinations to choose from are Silver Ice and Storm Grey, Korosi Red and Storm Grey, and Jet Black.
At the time of writing (2022), the 2019 Speed Twin has a price tag of $10,500 with decent mileage on the counter.
