Triumph Speedmaster revealed
Meet Triumph’s newest Bonneville-based cruiserTriumph has unveiled its all-new Speedmaster, the latest in a long line of new Bonneville-based models for the 2017 and 2018 model years.
Based on the same engine and chassis platform as the recently unveiled Bobber, the Speedmaster benefits from the addition of a subframe, a removable pillion seat and a host of custom kits which essentially turns the narrow focus of the Bobber into a far more versatile machine in the Speedmaster without losing the same clear styling cues.

It’s powered by the same 76hp (57kW)/106Nm 1200cc parallel engine, and there’s cruise control, traction control, switchable engine modes and heated grips, as well as ABS-equipped front Brembo brakes and rear Nissin stoppers.
Suspension is by way of a 41mm conventional KYB fork and a matching hidden monoshock at the rear, and it rolls on a 16-inch wire-spoked rear wheel matched to a 19-incher up front.
It gets forward foot controls, swept back handlebars and a seat height of just 710mm, but all three are completely adjustable through a large variety of options making completely custom ergonomics a reality.
Speaking of custom, no less than 130 optional bits make up the accessories catalogue, as well as a swathe of ready-to-go kits which range from the full-touring Highway version through to the stripped-bare Maverick option, and everything in between.
