The Triumph Speed Twin (2019) comes under the Bonneville range in the British motorcycle marque. The bike was launched across the world in December 2018.

It comes as a contemporary modern classic which offers performance as well as handling and also more upright and ergonomics. These appealing features of the motorcycles will attract the customers who need a performance like the Thruxton R and easy-going like the Street Twin.

The powertrain produces 96 bhp of peak power @ 6,750 rpm and 112 Nm of peak torque @ 4,950 rpm which is married with a 6-speed gearbox.
Design
In terms of the design, the Triumph Speed Twin has stood up to the expectations by following the legacy of the Bonneville. The motorcycle comes with modern classic styling and design. The bike is covered with maximum dark tone because the powertrain, front forks, headlamp, wheels, exhaust, etc are painted in Black color while in contrast the fuel tank comes in Red, Grey, and Black color options. The company also included a flat single piece seat, bar-end mirrors, and twin-pod instrument console along with two small digital LCD screens which provides a lot of information like selected riding mode, trip meters, clock, and odometer in the motorcycle.
