2016 Triumph Speed Triple S Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Triumph for the naked motorcycle segment, the 2016 Triumph Speed Triple S features a 1050 cc (64.1 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 140 HP (102.2 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 112 Nm (82.6 lb-ft) at 7,850 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 133.3 HP per liter and a 1,650 rpm working window between peak torque (7,850 rpm) and peak power (9,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Speed Triple S measures 192 kg (423 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.73 HP/kg (1.37 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 825 mm (32.5 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,445 mm (56.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17.5-liter (4.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 6.92 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 253 km (157 miles) between fill-ups.

Torque
Torque is useful for judging real-world pull, especially for touring, commuting and loaded riding.
Seat Height
Check the seat height against your inseam and riding posture before choosing a motorcycle.
Weight
Compare weight carefully because it affects low-speed handling, parking and confidence.
Fuel Capacity
Fuel capacity helps estimate touring range and how often you may need to stop.
Brakes
Brake setup is worth comparing if you ride in traffic, mountains or with a passenger.
Suspension
Suspension details can matter for comfort, road feel and long-distance riding.
