We’re excited to share some seriously good news with you. Triumph Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer Edition is officially on its way, and we can’t wait to welcome this stunning new model onto the showroom floor at Lings Triumph this March.
Inspired by the original British cafe racers of the 1960s, this limited-run model takes everything riders love about the Speed Twin 1200 RS and sharpens it into something truly special. With just 800 motorcycles available worldwide, the Cafe Racer Edition is set to become one of the most desirable modern classics Triumph has ever produced.
A Modern Cafe Racer, Done Properly
The Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer Edition sits at the very top of the Speed Twin range, and it shows. Clip-on handlebars create a low, committed riding position, while the streamlined single-seat profile and removable cowl deliver an unmistakably authentic cafe racer silhouette. It’s purposeful, elegant and unapologetically focused.
Completing the look is an exclusive Competition Green and Aluminium Silver colour scheme, inspired by classic British racing heritage and elevated with Empire Gold detailing. From the colour-coded headlight bowl to the brushed aluminium mudguards and sculpted knee pads, the attention to detail is exceptional throughout.
Performance to Match the Looks
Underneath the timeless styling sits Triumph’s high-compression Bonneville 1200 parallel-twin, producing an engaging 105 PS and a muscular 112 Nm of torque. The distinctive 270-degree firing order delivers instant throttle response and a characterful power delivery that feels just as exciting on fast back roads as it does cruising through town.
Handling and braking are equally premium. Fully adjustable Marzocchi front forks, Öhlins rear suspension, and Brembo Stylema brakes give the Cafe Racer Edition razor-sharp responses and confidence-inspiring control, while Metzeler Racetec RR tyres provide superb grip and feedback.
Classic Character, Modern Technology
Despite its heritage-inspired looks, the Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer Edition is packed with modern rider technology. Road, Rain and Sport riding modes, Optimised Cornering ABS, Traction Control and Triumph Shift Assist all work seamlessly in the background, enhancing performance without detracting from the bike’s clean, uncluttered design.
A combined LCD and TFT display retains the traditional twin-dial appearance while offering navigation, phone connectivity and a neatly integrated USB-C charging socket.
