New for 2012 - Triumph's Speed Triple R

Triumph introduces the ultimate factory street fighter

The Triumph Speed Triple is already a legend in the high-performance street bike world. It's combination of raw power, cat-like agility and light weight make it tough to beat in any situation. Now Triumph has introduced an even sharper version of their mean streets machine. The Speed Triple R has been "specced" to the max, with new Öhlins front and rear suspension systems exclusively designed for this special R model. Teeth-clenching acceleration is provided by a 1050cc, inline three-cylinder, 133 horsepower engine. The Speed Triple's already superior braking performance is enhanced by race-proven Brembo Monobloc four-piston, four-pad front calipers and special lightweight forged aluminmun five-spoke wheels by PVM. Pirelli Supercorsa SP tires take the R model exactly where you aim it. An Anti-Lock Braking system is optional. The Speed Triple R will be available in March, 2012.

New for 2012 - Triumph's Tiger Explorer

The backroads just got tamed...

You might say that Triumph upset the adventure bike market when they introduced the Tiger 800 and Tiger 800XC models. After all, putting a three-cylinder engine on an adventure bike was taking a big step outside the box. The Tiger 800 models created quite a ripple in the off-road pond with their performance, great handling, good looks and affordable pricing. Now get ready for a great big SPLASH. Triumph has just jumped in with an all new motorcycle that may just leave all the others sitting high and dry on the shore. The new 2012 Tiger Explorer is designed to take adventure riders where they haven't been able to go before. It's propelled by an all new 1215cc, 135 horsepower, three-cylinder engine that will make molehills out of mountains. Those 135 horsepower are transferred through a six-speed gearbox to the rear wheel by a low-maintenance driveshaft. A multi-function instrument pack provides the rider with all necessary flight information. Electronic cruise control is standard. Traction control is standard. Switchable Anti-Lock Brakes are standard. Excitement is guaranteed. The Tiger Explorer...it's way outside the box. Available in May, 2012. Can you wait?

Triumph introduces the Steve McQueen Edition

Triumph has joined forces with the estate of Hollywood icon Steve McQueen to create a limited edition motorcycle that pays tribute to the late actor's love of the British brand's products.

Just 1100 of the Triumph Steve McQueen™ Edition will be produced and sold worldwide from April 2012, which is likely to make it one of 2012’s most sought after bikes.

McQueen was famous almost as much for his passion for cars, aeroplanes and motorcycles as he was for his legendary movies. He owned numerous Triumph motorcycles and loved to spend his spare time riding in the California dunes aboard his modified 1963 Triumph Bonneville. A highly accomplished rider, he also competed in the 1964 International Six Day Trial in East Germany using a factory-prepared 650cc Triumph Trophy and was reputed to own 138 motorcycles at the time of his death in 1980.

Based on the popular Triumph Bonneville T100, the officially licensed Steve McQueen™ Edition features a host of modified parts that takes it a step beyond the usual 'special edition'.

Blacked Out Components

The Triumph Steve McQueen™ Edition features a number of blacked out components including
wheel rims and hubs, handlebars, rear springs, mirrors and front mudguard supports.

Individually Numbered

To confirm the bike's provenance, each machine is individually numbered with a plaque placed on
the handlebar clamp, while owners will also receive a certificate of authenticity with their machine.

Paint Scheme

The design is inspired by the classic Triumph Trophy TR6 that McQueen insisted on riding during the
famous stunt scene in the movie The Great Escape, and features a military style Matte Khaki Green
livery, stencil-style Triumph decal on the tank and the actor’s signature on the side covers.

Solo Rider Seat & Luggage

A new solo rider seat and black luggage rack have been developed especially for the McQueen bike,
which has been fitted with a rugged skid plate and a small headlamp.
