2011 Triumph Speed Triple
The influx of superbikes from all over the world is increasing day by day. More and more bike manufacturers are keen to enter the Indian market where competition has just started hotting up. God bless competition! Now it is British motorcycle maker, Triumph who seems to be looking at India as a potential market for its high-end bike range.
The company will soon launch the Speed Triple in India says Indiandrives. For the keen bikers among us, it is the latest 2011 model that will come ashore. The bike will be priced at around INR 12 Lakh which means it will go head-to-head with the Kawasaki Z1000 and Honda’s CB1000R.
At the heart of the beast is a 1050cc, inline three cylinder engine with a meaty 128 horsepower at hand. Peak torque figures stand at 81 lb-ft. The new model features a new chassis which alters the steering geometry. Fuel tank capacity has also been reduced while the bike still weighs over 218 kg. 320mm, four-piston upfront and 255 mm two-piston clamps supplied by Brembo perform the anchoring job. Let’s hope that this news turns out to be true and the Speed Triple is indeed launched in India.
