The Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR is essentially a Speed Triple 1200 RS with a fairing. The British manufacturer unveiled the motorcycle towards the end of 2021, and It sits at the top of the ‘Roadsters and Supersports’ range in the 2022 Triumph lineup.

As mentioned above, the most significant difference between the Speed Triple 1200 RR and its street-naked counterpart is the addition of a semi-fairing. The semi fairing draws inspiration from those on cafe-racers from back in the day, but there are some neo-retro design elements like the round LED headlight. Compared to the Speed Triple RS, other changes include a clip-on handlebar and a different footpeg position that puts the rider in a slightly more committed riding triangle. The bike also features Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 electronically adjustable semi-active suspension.

The rest of the motorcycle is largely similar to the RS. Powering the bike is the same 1,160cc inline-triple with peak output figures of 177.5 hp and 92 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired to a 6-speed gearbox that you can bang through with a bi-directional down quick-shifter that comes as standard equipment.

Triumph Motorcycles has also equipped the Speed Triple 1200 RR with the same electronic suite on the RS. This includes the 6-axis IMU-assisted traction control and ABS, five ride modes — Rain, Road, Sport, Track, and a Rider-customizable mode — and the 5-inch TFT display.

The 2022 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR starts at $20,950 USD / $23,250 CAD.

Race-developed Brembo brakes include a span and ratio adjustable lever, radially-mounted Stylema® monobloc calipers and lightweight 320mm discs. Plus new high-performance Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3 tires, a lightweight cast aluminum chassis and an optimized center of gravity deliver the new benchmark in Speed Triple precision handling and agility. PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING TECHNOLOGYConstant development has transformed rider-aid technology, and the Speed Triple 1200 RR provides the perfect showcase.

The Optimized Cornering ABS and Optimized Cornering Traction Control bring a state-of-the-art safety system for riding in all conditions.

The latest generation front wheel lift control uses advanced algorithms to allow a non-intrusive smooth ride with constant, positive throttle.

The 5” TFT display has a strong focus on speed, gear and tach, that can be configured to suit the rider’s preference — the information you need to ride on the road is often different to the information you want in your eyeline on the racetrack.

The My Triumph Connectivity System comes as standard, with an integrated Bluetooth module, making phone calls and music to your in-helmet system effortless, along with turn-by-turn navigation and GoPro control. Accessed via easy-to-use handlebar-mounted switch cubes controlling menu systems that are intuitive and user-friendly, all the ride information you need is at your fingertips. FIVE RIDING MODES The five riding modes (Rain, Road, Sport, Track and Rider Configurable) can be easily selected on the move, via a dedicated button on the left handlebar. These different modes have been developed through intensive testing to give the perfect throttle response, Traction control and ABS settings to suit a broad range of weather and road conditions. Of course, we all have our own preferences as riders, so the Rider Configurable option allows fine-tuning of each parameter to suit your style.
