Built around Triumph's allround motorcycle platform, the 2022 Triumph Speed Twin features a 1200 cc (73.2 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 98.6 HP (72 kW) at 7,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 112 Nm (82.6 lb-ft) at 4,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 82.2 HP per liter and a 3,000 rpm working window between peak torque (4,250 rpm) and peak power (7,250 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Speed Twin measures 216 kg (476 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.46 HP/kg (2.19 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 809 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,413 mm (55.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 14.5-liter (3.8 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.63 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 258 km (160 miles) between fill-ups.
Within MotoLibrary's Triumph archive, this model family spans 28 indexed model years from 1937 to 2022, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
