The 1160cc three-cylinder motor was
nothing short of awesome on the racetrack.
Depending on your power settings and trac-
tion control settings, you could pick up on
the gas super early, and even though the TC
light on the dash would be flickering its head
off, I couldn't feel any serious intrusion.
Changes to the TC, ABS and power set-
tings made noticeable differences; Road
was good for low-end grunt and eventual
top speed. Sport was good for a little more
power sooner, while Track was softer at the
very bottom but came on with a huge rush
much sooner to full power.
(Top) Triumph claims
177 horsepower out
of the new motor.
We've got little reason
to doubt them—this
thing hammers.
(Left) Race-spec
Ohlins offers a taught
and direct ride but
isn't the smoothest
over street bumps.
