Triumph has announced the 2025 Speed Triple 1200 RS for India, priced at Rs 20.39 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), featuring significant mechanical upgrades and a higher peak output.
The 2025 Speed Triple 1200 RS: What’s New?
The updated Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS arrives with a notable price tag of Rs 20.39 lakh. This represents a hike of Rs 2.44 lakh over the previous model, but it comes packed with a host of enhancements designed to improve performance and rider experience.
This supernaked motorcycle now boasts a more powerful engine and revised components, aiming to offer an even sharper ride while maintaining its aggressive character.
Power Boost and Suspension Revolution
At its core, the 2025 Speed Triple 1200 RS retains its 1160cc, three-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. However, Triumph has bumped up its performance, with the motor now producing 183hp and 128Nm of torque. This is an increase of 3hp and 3Nm, achieved through a new, freer-flowing exhaust system.
One of the most significant upgrades is to the suspension. The bike now features advanced electronically-adjustable Ohlins EC3 units, replacing the previous model’s manually adjustable setup. This change is crucial, especially for varied road conditions like those in India, as it allows for better adaptability and comfort, addressing the prior model’s stiff ride.
Enhanced Handling and Rider Aids
Triumph has also focused on refining the bike’s handling. The 2025 model rolls on new Pirelli Supercorsa V3 tyres, moving away from the Metzeler Racetec RR rubber of the outgoing version, though tyre sizes remain the same.
A welcome addition is the standard steering damper, a beneficial feature for a high-performance machine known for its eagerness to lift its front wheel. Furthermore, the bike receives new, lighter wheels, which contribute to reduced unsprung mass. This translates to less inertia and gyroscopic forces, making the bike quicker and easier to flick from side to side.
The electronic rider aid suite has also seen improvements. Notably, the wheelie control can now be adjusted independently of the traction control settings. This gives riders more granular control and fine-tuning options, a direct response to feedback from the previous model.
Price and Market Positioning
The 2025 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS is available in three striking colour options: an all-black finish, a grey/red combination, and a grey/yellow scheme. Despite the significant price increase, Triumph has strategically positioned the Speed Triple 1200 RS to be the most affordable European supernaked currently available in India.
It undercuts its direct rivals, such as the Ducati Streetfighter V4 (priced from Rs 24.62 lakh to Rs 28 lakh) and the KTM 1390 Super Duke R (at Rs 22.96 lakh). This competitive pricing, combined with the substantial mechanical upgrades, makes the 2025 Speed Triple 1200 RS an attractive proposition for enthusiasts.
