The 2022 Triumph Speed Twin is a Modern Motorcycle in Retro Clothing

Contents
The Triumph Speed Twin made its debut in 2018 and received its first notable updates in 2021. For 2022, the ‘Modern Classic’ motorcycle from the British manufacturer receives no significant updates but still packs a pretty commendable punch.

The 1,200cc, parallel-twin engine that powers the 2022 Triumph Speed Twin received new high-compression pistons, revised ports, and cam profiles last year. The updates resulted in a more responsive and powerful engine, with peak output figures of 98.6 hp and 83 lb-ft of torque. The Speed Twin isn’t the only motorcycle in the 2022 Triumph lineup to feature this engine — the Thruxton RS uses the same unit in a different state of tune.

Triumph Motorcycles also made changes to the chassis for a more agile and better handling motorcycle, including a reduced trail and steering rake angle. Suspension is handled by a 43mm USD fork from Marzocchi and twin shock absorbers at the rear, with 120mm of travel at either end.

The motorcycle has 12-spoke cast-aluminum wheels at both ends, wearing grippy Metzeler Racetec RR tires. Last year’s update saw the axially mounted Brembo brakes give way to radially mounted Brembo M50 Monobloc calipers.

There’s also a comprehensive electronics package on offer, with three riding modes — Rain, Road, and Sport — each offering a dedicated throttle map and traction control setting.

The 2022 Triumph Speed Twin starts at $12,595 USD / $14,045 CAD.

2022 Triumph Speed Twin Features

UPDATED 1200CC HP ENGINE


A significant engine update sees an increase in both peak power, now up 3 HP to 98 HP, and also mid-range power. The torque this is also up in the mid-range, which is where the Bonneville twin engine excels, and better still, there is also a reduction in inertia thanks to a new lightweight crankshaft and a rare earth alternator. Combined with high compression pistons, revised ports and a new cam profile, the Speed Twin is even more responsive than before, spinning up faster and revving harder for longer.

Despite these notable increases in performance, the updated engine also improved emissions, making this the cleanest Speed Twin yet. The brushed stainless steel exhaust system was carefully engineered to keep the cat box hidden while new twin upswept megaphone silencers deliver all of the trademark Speed Twin roar.

Enhancements to the engine, new high-specification Marzocchi suspension, new premium radially-mounted monobloc Brembo M50 brakes and new, lightweight wheels are just a few of the updates that reinforce this stunning stripped-back custom roadster’s position at the top of its class.

Advanced modern technology allows the use of a ride-by-wire throttle, ensuring the perfect throttle response for enhanced rideability, safety and control. Similarly, the torque-assist clutch gives a light lever action for superb feel and reduced fatigue in the stop/start scenario of a town commute.


CLASS-LEADING HANDLING


An instant hit with the media, and praised by Triumph fans all over the world, the Speed Twin was embraced and awarded for its easy, intuitive, class-leading sports handling.

Delivering the pinnacle in modern classic sports riding experience was a key part of the design team’s brief. The front suspension was upgraded to higher-specification Marzocchi 43mm upside down forks with cartridge damping for an even more precise, agile and dynamic modern sportster ride.

The change to upside down forks also allowed the fitment of higher specification radially-mounted Brembo M50 calipers paired with 320mm discs for phenomenal braking performance.

New, lightweight cast aluminum wheels also grace the Speed Twin, with new high-specification Metzeler Racetec RR tires, delivering improved agility, better handling and incredible levels of grip as standard.




STYLING


From the stunning new lightweight cast aluminum 12-spoke wheels to the contemporary new paint schemes, even more premium style and detailing was engineered into the Speed Twin.

Built with all of Triumph’s timeless DNA and beautiful stripped-back modern custom style, now with new anodized headlight mounts, new mudguard mounts and contemporary graphics, which complement the Speed Twin’s signature 3.8 gallon fuel tank.

Premium brushed metal features include the elegant new twin upswept stainless steel megaphone silencers, aluminum front and rear mudguards, side panel finishers and heel guards.

Each and every part is designed to be as durable as it is desirable, with anodizing used on many metal components, including the swingarm, while features such as the headlamp bowl and bezel are expertly sprayed in the Triumph paint shop for a long-lasting and lustrous finish.


MODERN CAPABILITY


Advanced rider-focused technology for rider safety and enjoyment is sensitively incorporated into the Speed Twin’s clean and minimalist lines.
The three riding modes (Rain, Road and Sport) were upgraded for the latest generation Speed Twin with a dedicated throttle map and traction control setting for each mode. Easily switchable via a handlebar-mounted button, should riding conditions or rider mood change, the ideal setting is just a touch away.

Easy-to-read twin clocks with contemporary 3D dial faces feature a huge range of useful information from fuel range to gear position, riding mode setting to service indicator, all easily navigated via a handlebar-mounted scroll button.

A handy USB charging port and a built-in immobilizer bring rider convenience, while the latest generation ABS and traction control systems improve safety and rider confidence.


ACCESSIBILITY


As exhilarating for the seasoned rider as it is confidence-inspiring for the recently enlightened, the Speed Twin is an incredibly well-balanced, manageable motorcycle.

With a slim waist and an accessible low seat height of 31.8 inches, together with tapered handlebars and a comfortable footpeg position, the Speed Twin’s relaxed, upright riding position fits riders of all sizes, and has the perfect poise for every ride, from the urban commute to the weekend blast.
