Triumph Motorcycles has unveiled an exclusive new Speed Triple 1200 RX for model year 2026, limited to just 1200 motorcycles worldwide.
With a fully focused riding position delivered by more aggressive, sportier ergonomics, the new Speed Triple 1200 RX is the ultimate incarnation of the Speed Triple, with even more of the state-of-the-art electronics and technology that has impressed customers since the launch of the Speed Triple 1200 RS in March.
The RX limited edition delivers absolute focus with clip-ons and a machined top yoke, which are 2.71” (69mm) lower and 2.04” (52mm) further forward than the 2025 Speed Triple 1200 RS. Adding to the more focused riding position, the footpegs on the RX are .57” (14.5mm) higher and 1” (25.5mm) further to the rear than the RS model.
Delivering absolute precision and control, the state-of-the-art Öhlins electronic suspension is enhanced with the Öhlins SD EC steering damper. The control of the electronic damper is integrated seamlessly with the Ohlins Smart EC3 system to deliver light, agile handling and optimum stability, and it can be adjusted via the Öhlins Objective Based Tuning Interface on the instruments. The pressurized design of the damper ensures no free-play in the system.
Fitted as standard on the RX, the new Akrapovič silencer features a titanium outer wrap and mounting bracket, a carbon fiber endcap and exhaust valve cover, and is finished with a laser etched Akrapovič logo. Enhancing both performance and comfort, an upgraded performance seat enhances rider movement when in the saddle and features an embossed RX logo.
The striking look of the RX is created with an exclusive Triumph Performance Yellow and Granite graphic scheme and white RX accents. The race-inspired carbon fiber front mudguard and tank bodywork add to the exclusivity of the design and to add even more impact, there is a Triumph Performance Yellow accent on the rear wheel.
Just like the new Speed Triple 1200 RS, the RX delivers unmatched triple power and torque, unequaled handling, and top of the range rider-focused technology. The 1160cc Triumph triple engine delivers relentless acceleration and performance with 180.5 HP (183PS) at 10,750 rpm and 94.4 ft-lb (128Nm) at 8,750 rpm.
Thrilling and utterly addictive, the three-cylinder engine delivers the ultimate blend of low-end drive and top-end punch, giving cutting-edge performance on the road and on the track, coupling instant throttle response with an effortlessly smooth power delivery. The revised dynamic crankshaft balancing strategy, which made its debut on the RS, provides a significant improvement in engine refinement.
The rider-focused package of equipment and technology on the new Speed Triple models puts the rider in control, offering exceptional levels of adjustment. The Öhlins latest-generation SmartEC3 semi-active suspension includes the cutting-edge Öhlins Objective Based Tuning Interface (OBTi), which allows riders to easily adjust the suspension’s dynamic damping characteristics in different riding scenarios.
There is also new independently adjustable Front Wheel Lift Control, Engine Braking Control and Brake Slide Assist, as well as fully adjustable cruise control. Brembo Stylema® calipers and a Brembo MCS span and ratio adjustable lever offer serious stopping power and a customizable feel, even during the most demanding riding. Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3 tires deliver racetrack performance in a fully street legal tire.
“The new Speed Triple 1200 RX offers the ultimate riding experience, both on the road and on the track. The extra technology, premium specification and more focused riding position will put this firmly on the wish list of every track day enthusiast. With just 1200 of these available around the world, customers who secure an early order will really stand out from the crowd,” says Paul Stroud, Chief Commercial Officer, Triumph Motorcycles.
