TRIUMPH Speed Triple 900 Models/Series Timeline, Specifications & Photos

In 1996, the UK motorcycle manufacturer released the Triumph Speed Triple 900, a standard or streetfighter machine with the same package as previous models without any modifications whatsoever.

The bike debuted in 1994 and was based on the Triumph Triple series of modular engines that also powered the Triumph Trident, Daytona, and Thunderbird motorcycles. The engine was available in 750cc and 885cc versions, although the Speed Triple was originally equipped with an 885cc unit.

The 1996 model packed the same standard features as previous models, such as a round headlight mounted on the fork, a single seat with a passenger cowl, a three-into-two exhaust system with a silencer on each side, lightweight three-spoke aluminum wheels, and no fairings whatsoever.

The 1996 Triumph Speed Triple 900 had its soul brought to life by an 885cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine managed by three Mikuni carburetors, boasting 98 hp at 9,000 rpm and 80 Nm (59 lb-ft) torque at 6,750 rpm.

The engine power was transferred to a five-speed manual transmission linked to the rear wheel through a final chain drive, spinning the wheel to a top speed of 217 kph (135 mph).

From top speed to a complete stop, the Speed Triple 900 trusted two 310 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 255 mm disc on the rear wheel, delivering excellent braking performance.
