The 2022 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR is a more track-focused, higher-spec, partially faired sportbike than the Speed Triple 1200 RS. It arrives in January.

Triumph has released details about the 2022 Speed Triple 1200 RR, which its says will deliver ?the most focused and exhilarating Speed Triple ride ever.? The new RR shares the 1,160 cc liquid-cooled, transverse inline-Triple engine powering the 2021 Speed Triple RS we recently tested, and the same aluminum twin-spar frame and subframe. But under the skin, and there is a skin, the new RR takes the Speed Triple in a new direction.

Styling cues that combine ?distinctive British elegance with exhilarating real-world performance? are influenced by Triumph’s Modern Classic lineup. The RR has a single round headlight and a partial fairing. It’s the first liter-class Triumph sportbike to get a fairing since the Daytona 955i, which was discontinued in 2006.
Under the skin, the new RR is a cutting-edge track rocket.

The Speed Triple RR is identical to the RS in terms of performance, rake, trail, seat height, and wheels. but the RR?s clip-on handlebars are 5 inches lower and 2 inches further forward, and coupled with the new footpeg position foretell aggressive race-bred ergonomics. If the RS is a streetbike for the track, the 2022 Speed Triple RR has all the makings of a track bike for the street.
