Triumph Speed Triple RX launched at ₹23.07 lakh in India

The latest flagship from Triumph, the Speed Triple RX, arrives in India with a clear mission: to deliver unabashed performance and exclusivity. With an ex-showroom price of ₹23.07 lakh, it positions itself firmly at the top end of the premium naked roadster segment. The root keyword for our coverage — “Triumph Speed Triple RX” — encapsulates both the brand and the model name. For riders seeking a street-fighter with track-intent and limited availability, the Speed Triple RX makes a statement.

Engine & Performance

Under the muscular body lies the same 1,160 cc inline-three engine used in the Speed Triple 1200 RS, but now tuned and packaged for the RX’s more aggressive brief. In India the RX is quoted producing 183 hp at 10,750 rpm and 128 Nm of torque at 8,750 rpm. Mated to a six-speed gearbox with bi-directional quickshifter, the bike promises razor-sharp throttle response and high-revving thrill. The kerb weight remains around 199 kg, meaning this roadster offers an excellent power-to-weight ratio and strong real-world acceleration. This is not a commuter bike—it’s built for riders who plan to exploit its sportbike heritage.

Chassis & Handling

The RX takes the proven chassis of the RS variant but adds track-centric ergonomics and upgraded suspension hardware. Clip-on handlebars are set 69 mm lower and 52 mm further forward compared with the standard model, with rear-sets for footpegs repositioned for a more committed stance. The suspension setup features the premium Öhlins Smart EC 3.0 semi-active units and an Öhlins Mechatronic steering damper. Braking duties are handled by high-spec Brembo calipers with twin 330 mm discs up front. On the road and on the occasional track stint, this configuration ensures sharper direction changes, better feel and enhanced stability.

Technology & Features

In keeping with its premium positioning, the Triumph Speed Triple RX is loaded with technology and premium materials. Standard equipment includes ride modes (Rain, Road, Sport, Track and Rider), cornering ABS, traction control, wheelie control and cruise control—covering the spectrum from street to circuit riding. The exclusive Akrapovič titanium/carbon exhaust lowers rotational mass and adds auditory drama. Cosmetic and material upgrades include carbon-fibre front fender and a twin-tone Performance Yellow/Granite livery with RX graphics—this visually distinguishes the limited-edition model from its RS sibling. With only 1,200 units globally, the RX emphasises rarity and premium appeal.

Price & Rarity

The ex-showroom price of ₹23.07 lakh in India makes the Speed Triple RX approximately ₹1.31 lakh costlier than the RS variant. Indian allocation is extremely limited, reportedly just 5 units in total. This exclusivity, combined with its performance credentials and premium components, reinforces its value proposition for discerning riders.

Conclusion

The Triumph Speed Triple RX brings together a high-revving 1,160 cc inline-three, premium Öhlins suspension, Brembo brakes, aggressive ergonomics and limited-edition status—all wrapped up in bespoke styling. It is engineered for the rider who demands more than just presence: someone who wants track capability, naked-bike aggression and exclusivity in one package. If you’re a sophisticated enthusiast with deep appreciation for performance motorcycling and the budget to match, the Speed Triple RX delivers a compelling proposition at ₹23.07 lakh.
