The Triumph Speed Twin 1200 RS combines retro roadster design with modern performance and features.

The bike offers advanced rider aids for improved control and safety. Cornering ABS and traction control enhance stability, while three ride modes – Road, Rain, and Sport – let riders adjust performance. Optional features like cruise control, heated grips, and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) add convenience and functionality.

The Speed Twin 1200 RS is equipped with adjustable suspension for precise handling. 43mm Marzocchi front forks and twin Ohlins rear shock absorbers with external reservoirs ensure control and comfort. Dual 320mm front discs and a 220mm rear disc provide strong braking performance. The 17-inch wheels with 120/70 front and 160/60 rear tyres offer stability and grip for varied riding conditions.
