2021 Triumph Speed Triple Spotted On Test

Triumph Motorcycles is working on an all-new Triumph Speed Triple, that is expected to get a new engine along with more performance, and a long list of new features. The new litre-class naked from Triumph will likely aim to get a comprehensive update to take the fight to established rivals like the Ducati Streetfighter V4 and KTM 1290 Super Duke R. The most significant change is likely to be a bigger engine, displacing around 1,200 cc, and with some weight saving measures similar to the ones carried out in the 765 cc Street Triple's updated engine to give it a significant advantage in a high-performing motor with lighter engine internals.

New Triumph Speed Triple is expected to get a brand new engine, new electronics, and features

The new engine is expected to put out around 175 bhp, and will meet the latest global emission regulations, including Euro 5, to make it relevant when it's launched. The frame is likely to be cast Aluminium, ditching the steel trellis frame of the last generation Speed Triple. Also new will be an all-new suspension set-up, with possibly adjustable Ohlins units on the top-spec Speed Triple RS. Braking will be handled by Brembo Stylema units for better and more sure shot stopping power, considering the output of the new engine.

Also new will be a comprehensive electronics package, which is expected to include anti-wheelie and slide control, in addition to the usual cornering anti-lock braking system (ABS), and cornering traction control system. An all-new full-colour TFT instrument console is also expected with MyTriumph connectivity, featuring latest gizmos like Google Maps integration, and possibly even GoPro controls. The newly designed cast wheels will no wonder, aid in shedding weight on the new Speed Triple.

The new Triumph Speed Triple looks like an advanced prototype, although we won't expect the new model to debut anytime before the first quarter of 2021. As for India, Triumph has not had much success with the two generation-old Speed Triple, and even the last generation Speed Triple was not introduced in India. So it's highly unlikely that the new Speed Triple will be introduced for India.

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
