Super III

1996 Triumph Super III Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 1996 Triumph Super III sport motorcycle, Triumph 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 115 HP (83.9 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 89 Nm (65.6 lb-ft) at 8,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 129.9 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (8,500 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 Super III measures 211 kg (465 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.55 HP/kg (1.83 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.
