Triumph considers the 2026 Speed Triple 1200 RX the “the ultimate incarnation of the Speed Triple.” There's a few reasons why.
Compared to the Speed Triple 1200 RS, the RX has “more aggressive, sportier ergonomics” and “even more state-of-the-art electronics.” The limited-edition variant may be the sharpest Speed Triple in the pack, but it follows a formula established by another model in the Triumph’s naked-bike family.
If you catch a slight case of deja vu when viewing the Speed Triple 1200 RX, that’s probably because you’re familiar with the Street Triple 765 Moto2 edition. In essence, the RX is the Speed Triple version of that motorcycle (without all the Moto2 branding, of course). The similarities go deeper than the Performance Yellow paint, too.
The Moto2 has carbon fiber bodywork and exclusive graphics. The RX has carbon fiber bodywork and exclusive graphics. The Moto2 sports clip-ons. The RX sports clip-ons. You get the point. The RX takes similar track-focused measures as the Moto2, but it has a few tricks of its own, too.
That includes a titanium Akrapovič silencer and electronically controlled Öhlins SD EC steering damper. The latter ties directly into the semi-active Öhlins SmartEC3 OBTi system, which debuted on the 2025 Speed Triple 1200 RS.
With its various upgrades, the $21,495 RX tacks $1,500 onto the RS’s $19,995 base price. Triumph will only produce 1,200 units worldwide, with shipments arriving in U.S. dealerships in June.
The 2026 Speed Triple 1200 RX may not be a far departure from its base model sibling, but it’s a viable option for those looking for a part-time track bike.
