Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS 2025: What’s New?
1. More Power & Torque
Triumph retains the potent 1,160 cc inline three‑cylinder heart, but for 2025 it gains an extra 3 PS (hp) and 3 Nm, boosting output to 183 PS (180.5 hp) at 10,750 rpm and 128 Nm at 8,750 rpm. The torque curve kicks in slightly earlier, enhancing responsiveness mid-rev.
2. Free‑Flowing Exhaust + Akrapovič Option
A new freer-flow stainless exhaust system helps unlock the increased power and centralizes mass. As an extra, there’s an optional Akrapovič silencer with titanium bracket and carbon-fibre end cap for lighter weight and sharper sound.
3. Smart Electronically Adjustable Öhlins Suspension
The headline change: Öhlins SmartEC3 semi‑active suspension on both ends with OBTi interface. Real-time damping adjustments adapt to riding style and road conditions. Riders can also override with manual compression and rebound settings via the TFT menu.
4. Advanced Rider Aids & Electronics
- Independent wheelie control adjustment, separate from traction control—new and rider-centered.
- Engine braking control, cruise control, and brake slide assist (track mode only) enhance customization.
- Five riding modes: Rain, Road, Sport, Track, and a customizable Rider mode.
5. Higher-Performance Hardware
- Brembo Stylema® monobloc calipers with MCS lever and OC‑ABS for superior braking feel and control.
- Steering damper fitted as standard for better stability during aggressive riding.
6. Lighter Wheels & Grippier Rubber
New lightweight aluminium wheels (seven-spoke) reduce rotational inertia and sharpen cornering responsiveness. The tyres are now Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3, replacing Metzeler Racetec RR, but retains same sizes: 120/70‑ZR17 front, 190/55‑ZR17 rear.
7. Slight Weight Bump
Despite hardware updates, the bike’s kerb weight has only increased by about 1 kg, to roughly 199 kg—still trim for its performance class.
8. Styling Tweaks & New Colours
Visually, evolution rather than revolution. New tail cowl, updated yokes to accommodate upright handlebars, and bold new paint schemes: Jet Black; Granite/Diablo Red; and Granite/Triumph Performance Yellow.
9. Connectivity & Convenience
- 5″ full‑colour TFT display with speed, revs, gear, fuel, and mode information.
- Smartphone connectivity (via My Triumph module), USB‑C charging port, cruise control, keyless ignition and steering lock as standard.
10. Indian Pricing & Positioning
Launched in India at ₹20.39 lakh ex-showroom (Delhi)—a ₹2.44 lakh premium over the outgoing model. Despite the higher price, it remains more affordable than competitors like KTM 1390 Super Duke R and Ducati Streetfighter V4.
