t's hard to believe it's been over 30 years
since Triumph launched the first Speed Triple
in 1994. While many bikes have come and
gone, the Speed Triple story continues with
the new 180 horsepower Street Triple RS—Tri-
umph's most powerful and advanced bike yet.
With Öhlins Smart EC3 electronic suspension
and cutting-edge rider aids, including front
wheel lift control and a new engine brake
strategy, it's a true leap forward.
The Öhlins Smart EC3 system, previously found
only on high-end models like the Ducati Panigale
V4 S and Honda Fireblade SP, uses Objective
Based Tuning Interface (OBTi). This lets riders ad-
just suspension behavior on the fly, as it constant-
ly adapts compression and rebound damping.
