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.

Brixton 1200 To Rival Triumph Bonneville T120

Image
A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production. The bike was showcased as a concept at last year's EICMA motorcycle show, and from the looks of it, this is a model developed in China with the Triumph Bonneville T120 in its sights. The Brixton brand though is part of Austria's KSR Group, which imports bikes from several Chinese manufacturers, including CF Moto. And while the new Bonneville rival will be manufactured in China, the design and engineering has been created at KSR's design centre in Krups, Austria.

Honda 850 cc Parallel-Twin Engine Revealed In Patent Filings

Image
Latest patent images from Japan seem to indicate that Honda may be working on an all-new 850 cc, parallel-twin engine. And the new engine, with more displacement to meet the Euro 5 emission regulations, will replace the current engine on the Honda NC750 range, with the engine and chassis shares amongst several Honda models including the Honda NC750S naked bike, the NC750D Integra scooter, the NC750X adventure tourer, as well as the Honda X-ADV adventure scooter. None of these models are offered on sale in India, but with new emission regulations looming around the corner in Europe, Honda is possibly looking to explore an increase in displacement to meet those norms.

Indian FTR 1200 Rally Revealed

Image
Indian Motorcycle took the wraps off the Indian FTR 1200 Rally, which is an off-road biased version of the standard Indian FTR 1200 . The FTR 1200 Rally looks more of a scrambler than a flat-tracker and boy, does it look good! There are a few changes on the Rally compared to the standard model such as ProTaper handlebars, which are 50 mm higher. This results in a more upright seating position. The alloy wheels are swapped out for Aluminium spoke wheels wrapped in knobby Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR rubber. The FTR 1200 Rally also gets a new Titanium smoke paint scheme along with the Indian headdress logo along with a brown seat, giving the motorcycle a stripped out retro look. There is a new rally windscreen as well, which sits atop the headlamp. Also Read: Indian FTR 1200 Review (The Indian FTR 1200 Rally gets the same engine as the standard FTR 1200.
