Some manufacturers have a signature feature that instantly identifies their brand when you hear about it. You’ve got Ducati and its L-twin engines, BMW and its boxers, and yes, Triumph and its triples.
It was back in 1994 that Triumph introduced its first triple in the form of the then-weird-looking Speed Triple, and fast forward some three decades later, Triumph’s still all about the good old inline-three.
At present, Triumph’s three-cylinder models are all about performance, and clearly set themselves apart from the more retro parallel-twin Bonneville derivatives. And so, it was clear that any three-cylinder Triumph meant some serious business.
