A new RR version would likely add even more bling and high-end equipment, while its body work suggests it will follow a modern-retro theme like the MV Agusta Superveloce 800.
While there is no further information, bikesales understands the prototype is very close to the production version, and it will likely appear on dealer floors in the first quarter of 2022. There will almost certainly be an increase in pricing over the RS model, which checks in at $25,600 (plus on-road costs).
Given the teaser, it is likely we won’t have to wait long to see finished Triumph Speed Triple RR in full, so stay tuned for more information.
