Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RX (2026): Everything We Know So Far

The Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RX (2026) is poised to expand the benchmark Speed Triple lineup with a sharper, track-leaning twist. On Torquepedia—your encyclopedia for motorcycles and their specs—you can follow official updates and instantly compare the RX against every major supernaked using advanced filters.

Note: Triumph has not yet published the full official spec sheet for the RX at the time of writing. Details below reflect platform expectations based on the current Speed Triple 1200 family and will be updated the moment specs are confirmed.

Key takeaways

• Positioning: Likely a performance-focused trim in the Speed Triple 1200 range, sitting alongside the RS/RR.
• Engine platform: Expected to use Triumph’s 1160 cc inline‑triple from the Speed Triple 1200 platform, tuned for high-rev punch and midrange torque.
• Hardware focus: Anticipated premium brakes and suspension, with track-ready electronics and a single-sided swingarm.
• Use case: Riders who want liter-plus supernaked performance with Triumph’s signature triple character, agile ergonomics, and high-spec components.

Anticipated highlights (TBA)

• Engine: 1160 cc inline‑triple (platform-based expectation)
• Power/torque: In the ballpark of the current Speed Triple 1200 family; final figures TBA
• Electronics: IMU‑based rider aids expected (cornering ABS, lean‑sensitive TC), ride modes, bi‑directional quickshifter
• Brakes: Premium radial monoblocs (Brembo Stylema class anticipated), large dual front discs
• Suspension: Fully adjustable premium units; electronically controlled options possible depending on trim
• Chassis: Lightweight aluminum frame, single‑sided swingarm
• Ergonomics: Naked/sport stance; expect RX-specific cockpit details and graphics
• Connectivity: TFT dash with Bluetooth/app integration likely, pending official confirmation

How it fits in Triumph’s lineup

If Triumph follows prior “RX” logic seen elsewhere in the range, expect a limited or sharpened variant that blends the RS’s raw street focus with added exclusivity or track-forward touches—while keeping the RR’s fully faired, clip‑on ergonomics separate. The RX should preserve the Speed Triple DNA: compact mass centralization, aggressive geometry, and a charismatic triple soundtrack.
