Triumph Motorcycles launches a new Speed Twin 900 for 2025
Delivering a more contemporary feel, the 2025 Triumph Speed Twin 900 features upside-down forks, matching sport-style mudguard, and fork protectors at the front. At the rear, a new fabricated aluminum swingarm and piggy-back rear suspension units are complemented by a narrower rear frame with a slimmer mudguard and compact tail light.
According to Triumph’s press materials, the upgrades deliver dynamic handling and a sportier style while retaining the Speed Twin’s classically-inspired appeal. The timeless bench seat is now slimmer and shaped to support the rider more in corners while also providing greater legroom.
Powered by the 900cc high-torque Bonneville twin engine, the Speed Twin 900 combines its classic character with modern performance, providing accessible torque (60 lb-ft available at 3,800rpm) and an intoxicating sound.
Equipped with high-specification components, the latest rider technology, and a comfortable riding position, Triumph says this new model will deliver a riding experience that is more fun, effortless, and addictive than before.
With a premium finish, high-quality materials, beautiful design details, and more than 120 Genuine Triumph Accessories, making it easy to customize and reflect each rider’s style, the new Speed Twin is a cool contemporary classic.
“This new Speed Twin 900 styling has evolved to be sleeker and more dynamic while still retaining the classic design cues that deliver that timeless style,” says Triumph’s Chief Product Officer Steve Sargent. “The bike is more agile and easier to maneuver, too, as we’ve made changes to the chassis and specifications that all make a big difference.
Sargent continues: “From talking to our customers, we know that the enduring appeal of the Speed Twin 900 is also due to its premium specifications, top-quality finish, great reliability, and badge on the tank, which owners are proud to own. Our ambition is, as always, to deliver more of what riders appreciate.”
The new Speed Twin 900 has three distinctive color options. Riders can choose between a sporty Pure White scheme with bright blue and orange stripes on the tank, a moody Phantom Black tank with dark grey stripes and gold accents, or a classy Aluminium Silver design with a splash of red framing the Triumph logo.
The bench seat has a new shape to complement the narrower rear frame, giving riders a narrower stand-over. There’s also an accessory low seat available that reduces the height by 20mm, from 780mm to 760mm, without compromising comfort. Performance from the 900cc engine is delivered with the efficiency and precision of a fully ride-by-wire system.
The aim was to deliver more functionality while preserving that clean, heritage-inspired design and pure riding experience. Helping to tailor that torque-laden power delivery are two riding modes, ‘Road’ and ‘Rain’, with the latter delivering a softer throttle response for a more secure feeling when riding in the wet. Both systems are now lean-sensitive – with Optimised Cornering ABS and Traction Control fitted as standard.
The new Speed Twin 900 will be available from $9,995 USD and $11,795 CAD. Bikes will be arriving in dealerships beginning February 2025.
