Triumph Teasers

TRIUMPH TEASERS

Two new Triumphs will join the line when the British marque hits the U.S. in 1995. A 900cc bike will feature a twin-spar aluminum frame, the style of choice for most serious sportbikes.

An unnamed British company, believed to be Spondon, will build the frames, which will allow sharper handling than is possible with the current frame's conservative steering geometry.

Less is known about the 1200cc model, expected to be a larger, half-faired version of the Speed Triple (see CIV, February, 1994).

On the home front, Triumph has announced a Speed Triple racing series, and a line of components to improve handling on 900 and 1200cc models. Also on tap are a line of clothing and accessories, to be unveiled at October’s Cologne Show.
