Yesterday, Triumph officially released the sports car version of the Speed Triple 1200RS in the domestic market, speed Triple 1200RR! Priced at 219,895 cnyston for white and 222,595 cny for red!
Triumph Speed Triple 1200RR is a retro style sports car based on the RS streetcar platform, similar to the MV Agusta Superveloce 800. Its engine and electronics are the same as the street car RS, in addition to the new coffee racing style fairing and round headlights, the RR model also adds semi-active suspension, a small amount of carbon fiber overlays and so on.
The front of the RR sports car abandons the double headlight design used in street cars, the bullet fairing and single circular headlights are full of retro flavor, while the rear part of the car roughly continues the design of the street car, although it is a sports car, but there is no large area of side encirclement. This is the first upgraded Triumph Sport motorcycle equipped with a fairing since the Discontinued Daytona 955i was discontinued in 2006.
The Speed Triple RR is the same as the Street Car RS in terms of performance. However, the RR model's split handlebars are 127mm lower and moved forward by 50mm, coupled with higher and more rear-foot positions, and higher saddles than the street car version, creating a more sporty cycling triangle.
Ohlins' semi-active suspension is probably the most eye-catching configuration on the RR model, and the Smart EC 2.0 electronically adjustable semi-active suspension provided by Ohlins is not available in the street car version. The front and rear suspensions are fully adjustable, and the semi-active function continuously adjusts the compression and rebound damping to match the riding style, speed and acceleration, even during the ride.
Brembo Stylema calipers are still used for braking, as well as Brembo's adjustable MCS pump, which comes standard with cornering ABS. The wheels are the same as the RS, except that they are replaced with stronger Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3 tires, and the front fenders are replaced by all-carbon fiber.
The Speed Triple RR features the same full-color TFT meter as a street car, five driving modes, a six-axle IMUs, switchable cornering traction control, front wheel lift control and fully adjustable cruise control, as well as backlit buttons and a keyless system.
In terms of power, the engine of the RR model is the same as that of the street car, and the inline three-cylinder water-cooled engine with an actual displacement of 1160cc. Maximum horsepower 180Ps/10, 750rpm, maximum torque 125Nm/9000rpm, sliding clutch as standard, optional Moto2-class quick shift function.
Triumph Speed Triple RR's starting price is 30,000 more expensive than the street car version, is this 30,000 worth the value? Would you opt for a three-cylinder vintage sports car at this price point?
