Motorcycle specifications Triumph900 Speed Twin 2024 Dose of tonus under the jacket

This Speed Twin 900 recently appeared in the Triumph catalog. Not a new model, but the Street Twin's new name, to reinforce the links with its big 1200 sibling.Quite a marketing job... Let's get serious again. The English brand has a great interest in pampering the most accessible of its Modern-classics, which is one of its best-selling models.
Hence the 2021 update, mainly focused on Euro5 compliance. Less pollutant emissions among the prerogatives, without affecting engine performance. These will be seriously revised in 2019.

it was also an opportunity to make a few minor alterations: openwork airbox panels, a small reinforcement for the headlight support, redesigned heel guards, a new design for the injection covers, a 10 mm thicker seat with different foam, and new wheels with machined spokes. A bit of make-up, in short, to prolong what it is: a little Bonneville with a light, playful, urban temperament.

The machine loves to go for a ride, to look good on the streets or on the main roads. But its twin-cylinder engine sometimes wanted to be more at ease, more expansive when the rider's mind was open to wandering. Certainly, the 1200 Bonneville has the trunk for it. But did the Speed Twin have to suffer any longer?

not anymore. The parallel-twin emancipated itself some time ago, showing a nice increase in power. Thanks to an increased compression ratio, higher engine speed, lighter crankshaft, fixed shafts and crankshaft balancer shafts, 10 horsepower were added to the 55 already present. This represents an 18% increase over the first Street Twin - which had already gained 18% torque since the 865 Bonneville.
This comes at a price, and we'll be looking for it at higher revs. The British bike has more watts, but its power and torque peaks are perched higher up the rev range. Pulling power preserves its 8.2 mkg, as long as you go for it with 600 rpm more, at 3,800 rpm. So you'll provoke it a little more, with the satisfaction of more pronounced momentum and increased performance. Which opens up new horizons. Technical modifications include a weight-optimized clutch housing and a lighter clutch

the previous Street Twin braked well, but nothing more. The clutch did the job, in keeping with the machine's temperament. Now that there's more spittle coming out of the connecting rods, an improvement in the braking system will not be a luxury. Triumph opts for a 4-piston Brembo caliper to replace the 2-piston Nissin, still on a 310 mm disc. Both bite and efficiency should go up a notch, with a superior feel. The rear retains its Nissin 2-piston unit with a 255 mm disc.
No changes to frame, shocks, swingarm or geometry. Just a touch-up to the fork internals for greater efficiency. The little Speed isn't really aiming to become a road racer; it's just aiming to increase the fun factor.

And to start with, a good seat is just what you need. With the extra cm of foam, the crew should feel less the dryness of our roads. You'll enjoy a natural, quiet, relaxed riding position, designed for riding to the rhythm of the twin's regular honk.
To the beat or to the rhythm? The question can now be asked, given the presence of the little Mode button on the left-hand commodo. What does it do? The Street Twin already had ABS, disconnectable traction control, ride-by-wire... What does it have to envy its big sister? Yes, the riding modes. The engine temperament can be tightened in 'Road' or loosened in 'Rain', to bring out the gas in a variety of ways. Each mode adapts the mapping and traction control settings.

Have we done the face again for this evolution? Mmmhmm... No need. We'll just go over a few things. A slightly classier brake fluid reservoir, a new seat cover, an openwork skid plate from the ex-StreetCup on the left-hand sump, very slightly redesigned airbox panels, a summarily revised speedometer, and new, chunkier rims with machined stick sides. A discerning eye will be needed to spot the changes to the headlamp mounts and tank badge.

LED taillights, USB socket and coded immobilizer are still standard. The options section now includes the TPMS tire monitoring system, alongside 120 accessories for customizing this Speed Twin 900.
Also available as an A2, this bike is a great way to discover the British Classic. All that remains is a not-so-democratic price tag.
