The Triumph Speed Twin 1200 TFC introduces a limited-edition version of the modern classic motorcycle with carbon fiber bodywork, Obsidian Gold paint, and gold detailing across the tank, fork lowers, chain, and Öhlins suspension adjusters. Gloss-lacquered carbon fiber components extend across the mudguards, side panels, and heel guards, reducing wet weight to 214 kilograms. Each motorcycle features a billet aluminum top yoke laser-etched with its individual production number as part of the 750-unit global run.
The motorcycle retains Triumph's 1,200cc parallel-twin engine producing 103.5 horsepower and 112Nm of torque, paired with black titanium Akrapovič silencers finished with carbon fiber end caps. Fully adjustable Öhlins suspension, Brembo Stylema front brake calipers, Shift Assist, cornering ABS, traction control, and three riding modes complete the performance package. Deliveries begin in October, with 180 units allocated to the United States and 30 to Canada.
