Triumph’s New Speed Triple RS Finally Gets the Features It Needed

Imagine a world where you have a machine with all the performance of a superbike but essentially none of the restrictive drawbacks. You can commute on this bike and even do some relatively comfortable touring.

Well, the market asked for this some time ago, and the super naked class was born, and Triumph's top offering in this niche, the Speed Triple RS, just got a much-needed update for 2025.

Of all the upgrades for the 2025 model, the most interesting and most needed is found in the suspension. This motorcycle features Ohlins' latest-generation SmartEC3 semi-active suspension, which uses 'spool valve' technology to make even faster adjustments to suspension settings on the move than previous iterations of semi-active suspension. The system includes Ohlins Objective Based Tuning Interface (OBTi), which continuously monitors and adjusts the suspension damping characteristics.
