The most striking change is the exterior. It now has the same LED headlights as the Speedmaster, and with this update, Triumph is aiming for a sleeker look. To improve on this design, the updated Speed Twin model features a new engine cover, and an upside-down rear shock absorber with RSU unit replacement. Moreover, it comes with a sleeker exhaust pipe.  The Speed Twin 1200 model's instrument panel has been revamped. It replaces the dual digital analogue dials with the Trident 660 LCD display, currently available on most Triumphs. Additionally, a C charging port comes as a standard convenience for riders to charge their cell during the battery drainout.  The standard Speed Twin 1200 is available in three colours: white, red and silver, while the RS model comes in two options: black and orange. In true style, there is a wide selection of factory accessories available. Also included for the first time are clip-on handlebars and a single seat for a classic cafe racer aesthetic.  Both the Speed Twin 1200 and RS have a 1,200 cc parallel-twin engine, liquid-cooled like before. But now this motor has a new cam, sportier tuning, and a higher rpm of 8,000 rpm. It is now rated at 105hp at 7,750 rpm and 112Nm at 4,250 rpm. Power has increased by 5hp and is delivered 500 rpm later in the rev range, matching the output of the previous Thruxton RS.  Both models have a slip-and-assist clutch paired with a six-speed gearbox, but only the RS model has a bidirectional quick-shifter. This makes it the first Neo-retro model of Triumph's standard Speed Twin 1200 to include this feature. Moreover, the quick-shifter is not adjustable due to different footpeg placements.  Ergonomics and Performance Features of the Speed Twin 1200 ModelsIn terms of ergonomics, the standard Speed Twin 1200's handlebars are positioned higher and closer to the rider. The footrest is more spacious compared to the RS model. Further, the seat height is 805 mm lower, making it easier to access than the RS and previous models.  As a sportier model, the RS has more aggressive ergonomics. This includes the handlebar in front and the underside of the footrest in the rear. It features a taller seat height of 810mm and is equipped with a fully adjustable Marzocchi fork and Öhlins shock absorbers. Braking is managed by superbike-grade Brembo Stylema calipers gripping dual 320mm discs. Similar to the current Speed Twin 1200, the RS comes fitted with Metzeler Racetec RR tyres.  The base Speed Twin 1200 has simpler wheel components compared to the RS. The suspension consists of a non-adjustable 43mm fork and twin shock absorbers, both courtesy of Marzocchi. Braking is managed by Triumph-branded radial 4-piston callipers gripping dual 320mm discs, while the standard Speed Twin is equipped with Metzeler M9RR tyres.  Both bikes come with cornering ABS and traction control. Additionally, it comes with Road and Rain riding modes in standard, but the RS model also has a sport mode and a two-way quick shifter. RS-exclusive features include aluminium front and rear fenders and premium stitching on the seat.  However, the base Triumph Speed Twin 1200 will be priced at GBP 12,495 internationally, an increase from the current model's GBP 11,995. The RS variant is set at GBP 14,495. In India, the Speed Twin 1200 currently costs Rs 11.09 lakh, and it remains to be seen what pricing strategy Bajaj will implement when the new models arrive.Before you go, have a look at the New Colour Launch for the Royal Enfield Bullet 350. Follow us for the Latest Bike Industry UpdatesFacebook - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_offl_fb  Instagram-  https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_insta  Twitter - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_twitter
