Breathtaking design meets focused sports capability; the all-new Speed Twin 1200 RS is the Ultimate Modern Classic Performance Naked for riders who demand the ultimate in style and dynamic performance.
Nothing Comes Close
The all-new RS model takes the Speed Twin 1200's unique blend of classic character and contemporary capability and adds top-specification chassis components and cutting-edge performance-enhancing technology to the more focused riding position to deliver a modern classic with even sharper responses..
The top-specification Marzocchi 43 mm USD forks are fully adjustable, so they can be fully tailored to suit any riding style. At the rear, twin's piggy-back suspension units provide sublime damping and are also fully adjustable for the perfect set-up.
Underlining the Speed Twin 1200 RS's intentions to be the most capable and sports-focused bike in its class, a Brembo master cylinder is paired to top-of-the-line Stylema calipers for unbeatable braking power and exquisite lever feel..
New lightweight aluminium seven-spoke wheels add further to the agility, reducing inertia to speed-up direction changes and reacting instantly to rider inputs. Fitted with superb Metzeler Racetec RR K3 tyres, the outstanding handling performance can be fully exploited thanks to the outstanding feel and grip on offer.
The neat single instrument dial features two displays. A large LCD screen shows all key riding information, with speed, engine revs, gear indicator and fuel level, all clearly visible at a glance in all lighting conditions
Underneath, the integrated colour TFT screen provides information on rider modes and other bike functions and is compatible with turn-by-turn navigation and phone connectivity via the accessory My Triumph Module. It also makes it easy to power external mobile devices thanks to a convenient USB-C charging socket mounted on the side of the unit.
Lightning fast, seamless up and down gear changes can be executed without pulling the clutch lever – the Speed Twin 1200 RS is the first Bonneville Twin to be fitted with Triumph Shift Assist. Complementing the power delivery and character whether using the low-end torque and short-shifting, revving up to the red-line, or braking and downshifting into bends. And, because it’s a Triumph Modern Classic, it’s sensitively incorporated so it doesn’t spoil the clean look.
In addition to Road and Rain riding modes, the RS adds ‘Sport’ mode for an even more visceral riding experience. Sharpening the throttle response and increasing the threshold at which the lean—sensitive optimised ABS and traction control respond to wheel slip; this mode allows the dynamic performance to be confidently exploited.
