Like the 2023 Street Triple 765 Moto2 Edition, the Speed Triple 1200 RX shows off the face of a Triumphdown Sports Bike.While Triumph's flagship Super Naked falls short of the BMW M1000R or Ducati Street Fighter V4S's 200 horsepower, it is never behind in its ability to shorten race lap times. Moreover, it is much cheaper.
Basically, it is a model tuned with a focus on track driving based on the 2026 speed triple 1200 RS.The triple of the 1160 cc engine produces the same 180 horsepower as the RS. The frame, event-based Olins EC3 suspension, and chassis geometry remain the same.However, it has a much sporty riding position, acra-phobic exhaust, and an EC3-controlled semi-active ol'ins steering damper.
The newly added carbon fiber, a lace sheet with excellent grip, and an indispensable yellow finish also catch the eye.It is priced at 21,495 dollars (about 29.1 million won). It is 1,500 dollars (about 2 million won) more expensive than the basic RS. We were able to test the speed triple 1200 RX with optimal grip on dry tracks.The first lap on the track clearly shows the difference between RS and RX.
The new clip-on bar is about 6.7cm lower than the existing all-in-one dummy of RS and about 2.4cm further forward.The peg is about 1.6 cm higher and about 3.5 cm further back.Overall, we show an aggressive approach to focus more on the race.The center of gravity moved further forward, and the connection with the front wheel was strengthened. From entering the corner, more exciting driving is possible.
The new titanium and carbon acraphobic mufflers meet the Euro 5+ criteria.'Growl' sounds pleasant, adding a more cheerful atmosphere to the early lap time.Except that the large muffler of RS looks similar to the air conditioning system of the Triumph plant, it is also improved visually.
Up and down quickscifters work easily. Even when the braking point is missed or the turnover ratio is too high, the triple's high torque is ready to slip out of the corner and quickly enter the next corner. You can choose four riding modes: lane, road, sports, and track. Under optimal riding conditions, track mode is best.
In track mode, the suspension is switched to dynamic. The rider assistance function changes to track mode according to the situation. The steering damper is automatically adjusted according to the need for front end stability.The RX is equipped with an arc-volt-on transmission, but the output is not higher than the basic RS. Instead, it gives a surprisingly fast feeling.
Keep a stable line even in powerful cornering. There is no understeer at all.The steering is impeccably precise. Thanks to the high peg, even slick tires using lean tires can secure sufficient ride height.
I tried setting the electronic suspension on the TFT instrument panel. It can be adjusted with the switch gear. The system is easy to understand. Instead of terms such as "compression" or "rebound", it provides break, initial acceleration, acceleration, corner, and cruise settings. This is much more familiar to most riders.
Looking around the corner on the race track with the 2026 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RX. The electronic suspension can be adjusted through a 5-inch TFT dashboard. The main difference between the RS model and the RX model is the steering damper.The advantage of RX's new system is that the Olins suspension is constantly responsive.
Like the main suspension, the electronic damper constantly responds to the driver's driving style. If you want to test the steering damper and suspension performance, the Portimant circuit is perfect.The rugged steep slopes and bends provide an opportunity to test the chassis of dynamic and fast steering wheels.The wheelie control system is another key element of the RX handling package. It provides exceptional performance, especially for inexperienced riders.
On ordinary roads, RS provides a comfortable ride with a more comfortable riding position.Long-distance driving in a yellow RX can put considerable strain on your wrists and knees.The base specification, the speed triple 1200 RS, is also great, but the 1200 RX is more sophisticated and attractive on the track.

It may not be easy to get your hands on the speed triple 1200 RX, which only produces a limited number of 1200 units, but it's worth it.In fact, the handling, braking, and agility of the RX are very good. These ultra-fast, ultra-precise super-naked can be comparable to dedicated sports bikes with more powerful power.
The problem facing potential buyers is that only 1,200 will be sold for a limited time.The RX, which costs $21,495 (about 29.2 million won), is one of the cheapest bikes in the market, making it a very attractive option.
