Track-friendly Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR revealed for 2022
The new high-spec variant joins the new 2021 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RSA new high-spec Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR will offer riders more track capability and unique neo-retro style, thanks to a striking new fairing and headlight.
While the new bike retains the same powerful triple-cylinder engine from the new Speed Triple RS, the RR version includes upgraded equipment that raises the performance stakes and makes it friendlier for track use.
As mentioned, the most obvious upgrade is the unique cockpit fairing design which offers both style and function. A classic round headlight replaces the iconic bug-eye lamps of the RS version, and gives the new machine a familiar look. The RR also gets carbon-fibre detailing and two new colour schemes with rich, high-quality candy paint.
