Speed 94 - The Speed 94 and Speed 94R unite both
ends of the Speed Triple story, combining the modern
Speed Triple engine and chassis package together with
stylistic and visual elements of the very first,
original Speed Triple from 1994. The result is,
literally, the best of both worlds.
The heart of the Speed 94 and Speed 94R is a modern,
fuel-injected three-cylinder 1050cc motor producing an
astonishing 135PS and 111Nm of torque. The powerplant is
matched to an aluminium trellis frame, beefy
single-sided swingarm, fully adjustable 43mm upside-down
Showa forks and monoshock, and Brembo radial calipers
equipped with Triumph’s anti-lock brake system. The
Speed 94 signature look is completed with a host of
styling and design cues to echo the original 1994 Speed
Triple, either in striking Racing Yellow or moody Jet
Black, specially re-formulated to match the first Speed
Triple paint schemes and finished with decals in the
original Speed Triple script.
Exhaust - The twin
silencers, wrapped in black exaust heat shields,
sitbeneath the short, stubby tail section of the Speed
Triple R and leave the rear wheel fully exposed on the
right by the cool, singlesided swingarm. Not for looks,
for real world sports bike riding. It just happens to
look great.
CHASSIS - Controlling the
Speed 94R monumental engine performance is a well
established, tried and tested chassis setup consisting
of an aluminium trellis frame, chunky singlesided
swingarm, fullyadjustable Öhlins NIX30 43mm forks and
monoshock, and Brembo radial calipers equipped with
Triumph’s antilock brake system.
Frame - The frame is the
same doubledtube, twin spar design recognisable from the
1997 model. Although the current version was updated in
2011, so it now uses the engine as a crucial frame
component, making the chassis stiffer and lighter for a
more focussed ride.
Riding Position
- The Speed 94R is pure sports bike with a real
world edge. So we designed the riding position for
accurate control and aggressive performance in everyday
riding situations. We set the bars low, the footrests in
a rear set position and the seat is deeply shaped to
keep you in position during hard use but still allows
you to slide off the sides of the bike. It's a forward
biased stance essential for keeping weight over the
front of the bike, so you can feel exactly what the
forks and tyre are doing and explore cornering limits,
shifting weight to keep the front end in contact with
the ground. All from a road going motorcycle that you
can use in heavy traffic, slow speed town riding and
occasional long distance trips.
Handling - So whether
you’re cutting through an urban jungle or carving lines
along country roads, the Speed 94R always have the
motive force and responsive handling needed to stamp
your authority on the ride.
Brakes
- The highspec Speed 94R takes the Speed Triple
concept to the ultimate level of chassis performance,
adding uprated, blackanodized, fullyadjustable Öhlins
NIX30 43mm forks, Öhlins TTX36 rear shock, Brembo
Monobloc radial calipers, and sticky Pirelli Supercorsa
SP tyres to the mix.
