Design
(The 2021 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS gets a sharp, lean-mean design and an aggressive stance)
The new Speed Triple looks sharper, leaner and meaner than ever before! Boasting of an aggressive stance, the motorcycle now gets differently designed twin headlights along with embedded LED daytime running lights. The motorcycle oozes strength and poise with the sculpted fuel tank, minimal bodywork and the exposed frame. New design elements include carbon-fibre front mudguard, colour-coded belly pan and rear seat cowl and compact tail section. Needless to say, the motorcycle looks stunning as it is supposed to be.
