2022 Triumph Speed Triple RR Australian Pricing & Overview

Interesting news out of Triumph with the new Speed Triple RR revealed in all its glory. As the RR suggests this is a racier version and let’s be honest, it’s a total departure from the Speed Triple brand as we know it when it comes to looks.

Apparently these are due to arrive in Australia in December, with UK and US arrival looking like January 2022. Pricing for the US is $20,950 MSRP, while in the UK the RR will start at £17,950 for the White, adding a further £250 pounds for the Red, which is an almost 3000 pound premium on the previous top of the line RS.

In Australia that’s $32,490 for the Wwhite and an additional $400 Australian dollars for the Red, although our pricing is ride-away, so that’s the out the door price.

So what’s on offer? Well it starts with the 1160 cc triple-cylinder from the RS version, pumping out an impressive 180 ponies alongside 125 newton metres of torque, and you can guarantee that unique triple sound track to accompany it. The exhaust is well integrated into the overall look, but it is a hefty unit. Other points of note are a stacked six-speed gearbox, slip and assist clutch and ride-by-wire throttle.

The chassis has undergone constant evolution over the years, delivering considerable dividends, with the existing aluminium twin-spar frame and bolt-on subframe joined by the iconic single-sided swingarm in the same material. Eye catching is the fitment of a full set of Ohlins Smart EC 2.0 or electronically controlled semi-active suspension, promising high performance alongside great ease of use.

Seat height is 830 mm, which is fairly middle of the road I’d say, with all-new clip-on handlebars, offering a 135 mm lower and 50 mm more forward position than the RS, for a more aggressive overall stance. Footpegs are likewise positioned specifically for this model variant.

So it’s fair to say this isn’t just a Speed Triple RS with some fancy bodywork thrown on, this machine will offer a different ride experience as well, but it is worth mentioning the RS and the RR share the same rake and trail, although the wheelbase is slightly shorter on the RR.

Brembo provide the braking package, starting with Stylema four-piston calipers and 320 mm floating discs, with a Brembo twin-piston unit on the rear and matched to a 220 mm rotor. Interestingly this is a linked braking system, which incorporates cornering ABS. Brembo also provide the front radial brake master cylinder and lever setup, as well as the rear unit.

Wheels are cast aluminium 17 inch items, and seem to be the same units fitted to the RS from what I can tell, but will be clad in Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3 rubber.

Naturally electronics are extensive, starting with a 5.5 inch TFT display to access the five ride modes, one of which is fully customizable, alongside cornering traction control with front wheel lift detect, a standard up and down quickshifter, keyless system not just for ignition, but also for the steering and fuel tank, as well as cruise control.

All up the Speed Triple RR weighs in at 199 kg with the 15.5 litre fuel tank and it’s worth mentioning that’s only one kilogram more than the RS, with both being claimed figures of course. Servicing is also 10,000 miles or 16,000 kilometres, or every 12 months for those who don’t get out much.

Fuel consumption is also stated as being 6.3 litres per 100 km, which will probably leave you looking to refuel at about 200km, with 250 km kind of pushing it.

The devil is in the detail though as they say and there’s plenty to admire here, with full LED lighting all round, including self-cancelling indicators, and a very tasty taillight. Backlit switch cubes offer control of the various electronics too, while a smattering of carbon-fibre is very much welcome and in keeping with a top-spec model.

That carbon-fibre is found on the front guard and radiator surrounds, as well as on that front fairing underwing, with a fill panel also seen under the tank. That’s a particularly nice touch, as I had to buy undertank panels for my Daytona 675 R for a similar effect, but it’s one that really stands out.

As already mentioned the exhaust is nicely integrated but there’s no doubt a heap of collector running along the belly of the bike, with it being Euro5 compliant.

Two paint schemes will be available, with high quality candy paint in either Red Hopper or Storm Grey, with the red definitely being the pick of the two for me.
