Triumph Speed Twin 1200 RS

Stunning and uncompromising, the all-new Speed Twin 1200 RS signals its sporting intent with its nose-down attitude, top-specification suspension components, beautifully finished in gold and a premium suede material for the seat

Now at Lings Triumph Essex, the Triumph Speed Twin 1200 RS elevates the modern classic experience to new heights. Designed for riders who crave both performance and heritage-inspired style, this motorcycle delivers sharp handling, exhilarating power, and premium features wrapped in a sleek silhouette.

Under its sculpted tank sits a liquid-cooled 1,200 cc parallel-twin engine with a 270° crank, producing 100 PS of peak power and 112 Nm of torque. The result is a potent and characterful powerband, offering thrilling acceleration and rich exhaust tone with every twist of the throttle. A six-speed gearbox and torque-assist clutch ensure smooth, confident shifting.

The Speed Twin RS is built for handling excellence. It features sporty Marzocchi upside-down forks with adjustable preload, compression, and rebound settings, as well as a piggyback rear shock. Riders will appreciate the balanced geometry, mid-mounted footrests, and low 799 mm seat height, providing a dynamic ride with improved cornering feel.

Braking is equally impressive. Twin 320 mm front discs are gripped by Brembo Stylema four-piston calipers, complemented by a high-performance rear brake and cornering ABS. Lightweight 12-spoke cast wheels wrapped in premium performance tyres add responsiveness and traction.

Modern functionality includes three riding modes—Rain, Road, and Sport—and switchable traction control, all managed via ride-by-wire throttle. A twin-clock instrument unit combines classic analog design with a modern dot-matrix display for essential info like gear position, ride mode, and trip data. LED lighting adds a contemporary touch without interrupting the bike’s retro charm.

Inside and out, the Speed Twin RS features refined detailing: premium finishes like brushed aluminium engine covers, blacked-out engine casings, and a sculpted seat with contrast stitching create a polished, purposeful look.

Whether you’re chasing backroads or making a stylish statement downtown, the Triumph Speed Twin 1200 RS delivers a balanced fusion of power, poise, and design.
