Triumph Motorcycles has introduced a mean and moody
Matt Black colour option to further accentuate the popular Speed Triple’s
aggressive, stripped down looks and make it stand out even further from the
crowd.
The 1050cc 2008 Speed Triple is the sharpest yet, featuring a raft of chassis
refinements including radial-caliper four-piston Brembo front brakes, Magura
tapered bars, an all-new subframe and redesigned multi-spoke wheels. These
developments have already proved a big hit with Triumph customers, with strong
demand making it once again one of the best-selling bikes in the company’s
range.
Triumph’s Speed Triple has become an iconic model
since the launch of the original version in 1994, delivering unparalleled
attitude in a uniquely styled package. Over the years it has been constantly
developed in order to maintain its position as the definitive factory
streetfighter.
Speed Triples are famous for being offered in a variety of eye-catching shades
over the years, with the 2008 model coming in Blazing Orange, Jet Black and
Fusion White, as well as the new Matt Black option.
