World Champion Carl Fogarty Teases The 2018 Triumph Speed Triple

2018 Triumph Speed Triple teased.

Triumph Motorcycles has teased the 2018 Triumph Speed Triple in its latest YouTube video. The iconic motorcycle manufacturer will unveil the new Speed Triple on January 29, 2018. Seven times World Champion Carl Fogarty and two times Isle Of Man TT winner Gary Johnson are seen riding a 2018 Triumph Speed Triple in the teaser video.

The 2018 Speed Triple teaser reveals that there could be two variants: standard and a performance-oriented version. Another probability is that those bikes could be unaltered, and the 2018 Triumph Speed Triple is a higher-spec ‘RS' version similar to the smaller Street Triple's line up.

The present model features 43 mm Showa adjustable upside-down front fork and adjustable Showa mono shock at the rear. Braking duties are carried out by twin 320mm discs with Brembo radial callipers at the front, and single 255mm rear disc with Nissin calliper at the back. It's to be seen if Triumph has overhauled the entire bike or if it's just a cosmetic upgrade.
