Speed Triple

1995 Triumph Speed Triple Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Triumph's naked motorcycle lineup, the 1995 Triumph Speed Triple pairs a 885 cc (54 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 98 HP (71.5 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 81.4 Nm (60 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 110.7 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (9,000 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 measures 209 kg (461 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.47 HP/kg (2.13 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance.
