2017 Triumph Trophy SE Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Triumph for the touring motorcycle segment, the 2017 Triumph Trophy SE pairs a 1215 cc (74.1 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 134 HP (97.8 kW) at 8,900 rpm while maximum torque reaches 120 Nm (88.5 lb-ft) at 6,450 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 110.3 HP per liter and a 2,450 rpm working window between peak torque (6,450 rpm) and peak power (8,900 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 Trophy SE measures 315 kg (694 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.43 HP/kg (2.35 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 770 mm (30.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,542 mm (60.7 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 26-liter (6.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
