Triumph Speed Triple S 2016

Triumph Speed Triple S 2016

The Speed Triple remains true to its line in the latest generation - a wonderfully sharp naked bike that characterises the streetfighter style like hardly any other model. It only makes limited sense for the racetrack - of course, the roaring three-cylinder engine with 140 hp is enormous fun and the Fafhrwerk shows no gross weaknesses, but there is a Speed Triple R with Öhlins suspension elements that naturally feels more at home on the racetrack. All in all, the Speed Triple S is an excellent country road fighter that also has a lot to offer in terms of looks.
