Triumph Motorcycles is renaming the Street Twin and Street Scrambler models for 2023.
Triumph renamed the Street Twin and Street Scrambler to Speed Twin 900 and Scrambler 900.
The name change is to follow the same pattern as the Tiger 900 and Tiger 1200.
The alleged report came out in May this year, but the latest development has confirmed that the British firm will rename them Speed Twin 900 and Scrambler 900, respectively.
Triumph revealed the name change via the 2023 online Owner Handbook Library.
The handbook officially refers to the Street Twin and the Street Scrambler as Speed Twin 900, Speed Twin 1200 and Scrambler 900.
Below is the comparison between the 2022 owners handbook and the 2023 owners handbook:
Despite the name change, the Speed Twin 900/1200 and Scrambler 900 remain identical with the 2022 model year.
Moreover, the new names allow Triumph to streamline the existing range by following the same pattern the firm established with the Tiger 900 and Tiger 1200.
Triumph Motorcycles has announced it has acquired kids electric bike builder OSET.
Founded in OSET has sold over 40,000 bikes worldwide.
OSET specializes in electric dirt bikes for kids.
According to Triumph, the deal allows both companies to share their expertise and grow internationally together.
OSET was established in 2004 by Ian Smith, who wanted to build an electric dirt bike for his son, Oliver.
After moving to a new UK headquarters in East Sussex from America in 2010, OSET has sold more than 40,000 bikes globally by developing an in-house electric powertrain.
Meanwhile, the latest acquisition by Triumph comes just ahead of the anticipated launch of the company’s motocross and enduro range.
“The acquisition of OSET sits within Triumph’s strategy of entering the off-road segment.
“We are excited about the opportunity of joining forces with OSET Bikes: a dynamic brand that has been encouraging children into motorcycling for many years and have been at the forefront of developing electric trials bikes for fun and competition,” said Nick Bloor, Triumph CEO.
Meanwhile, Smith has assured that the OSET brand will remain as it is despite the acquisition by Triumph.
“The OSET brand will remain as OSET and will continue to serve the trials and off-road motorcycling community.
“We are now better positioned to develop and innovate across our range while enjoying the security of scale and market position Triumph can offer OSET,” he said.
Developed in collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering and the Warwick Manufacturing Group at the University of Warwick, the British marquee will unveil the TE-1 on 12 July 2022.
On that date, Triumph will show the bike and reveal the technical aspects of the machine, including the range and battery charging time.
However, most importantly, the full reveal of the working prototype will also mark the company’s intentions for the future.
The Triumph Street Triple 765 is probably among the best middleweight street machine we have yet to test out since its launch in Malaysia back in 2019.
Nevertheless, we still adore the bike from afar, appreciating the British-built machine from the get-go.
Fast forward to 2022, it seems the boys at Hinckley is already busy working on an updated version of the Street Triple, as proven by these new spy shot published by RideApart.
Instantly, the first thing you’ll capture is probably the shining golden glow of the new Ohlins front fork.
The Ohlins suspension system replaces the fully-adjustable 41mm upside-down Showa Big Piston Fork that’s currently available on the Street Triple R and Street Triple RS.
Despite the significant updates, whether the rear suspension matches the new model’s front Ohlins setup is unclear.
The Street Triple R is currently fitted with a Showa monoshock, while the RS gets the fully-adjustable Ohlins STX40 monoshock.
Other notable cosmetic changes include a belly pan similar to the current RS, a carbon fibre hugger and new grab rails at the rear of the pillion seat.
The Street Triple might also get additional colour options and other electronics upgrades.
However, further details will remain a mystery, and we could only speculate what’s in store for us from Triumph.
Nonetheless, since the test mule is already looking like a production-ready unit, it is safe to assume that it could be ready for launch later this year as a 2023 model.

Sejak dilancarkan secara global pada September tahun lalu, Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR sememangnya mencuri perhatian dengan rekaan dan gaya yang serba unik.
Menariknya, kurang enam bulan selepas diperkenalkan, motosikal dengan gaya ‘supersport’ itu telah pun mendarat di Malaysia menerusi Fast Bike Sdn Bdh.
Menurut pihak Fast Bike dalam satu kenyataan hari ini, Triumph Speed Tripler 1200 RR ini kini telah tiba di Malaysia dan ditawarkan pada harga RM119,900.
Dibangukan dengan platform Speed Triple 1200 RS, model baharu ini menawarkan ciri jauh berbeza dengan barisan model sedia ada.
Komponen paling mencuri perhatian adalah penggunaan suspension jenis separa-aktif, Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 boleh laras secara elektronik menggantikan fork inverted NIX30 dan monoshock TTX36 yang terdapat pada Speed Triple RS.
Sebagai jentera dengan rekaan lebih agresif ala sportsbike, Speed Triple 1200 RR ini juga datang dengan handlebar jenis ‘clip-on’ yang 5 inci lebih rendah dan 2 inci lebih kedepan berbanding RS.
Triumph turut mengolah semula ergonomik tempat duduk bagi menawarkan tunggangan lebih agresif.
Aspek rekaan juga mencuri tumpuan, terutamanya panel depan yang kini menempatkan lampu LED berbentuk bulat tunggal berbanding tetapan dua lampu yang biasanya diguna pakai pada model Triumph lain.
Bahagian fairing juga tampak menarik dengan pendekatan ala retro-klasik namun cukup garang sekaligus menjadikan Speed Triple RR ini sportsbike lain dari yang lain.
Bagaimanapun, model baharu ini masih mengekalkan enjin tiga-silinder 1,160cc DOHC dengan penyejukan cecair yang sama terdapat pada Speed Triple RS dan hasilnya menawarkan 177hp pada 10,750rpm dan 125Nm pada 9,000rpm.
Transmisi 6-kelajuan juga dipadankan dengan bantuan klac assist dan slipper yang membantu menyalurkan kuasa dengan lebih lancar bagi menanggung input agresif dari penunggang.
Antara ciri lai yang turut dikekalkan dari RS adalah lever Brembo MCS dan kaliper Brembo Stylema yang dipadankan bersama cakera brek 320mm depan dan 220mm belakang.
Ciri elektronik lain ditawarkan:
5 mod tunggangan
wheelie control
cornering ABS
traction control
quickshifter
cruise control
paparan TFT 5″ dengan fungsi My Triumph
Menariknya, pelanggan yang membuat tempahan awal sehingga 31 Mac ini akan menikmati pakej servis 2-tahun.
The highly-anticipated 2022 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR finally arrived in Malaysia and is priced at RM119,900.
The official announcement was made by the brand official distributor in Malaysia, Fast Bike Sdn Bhd.

The new Speed Triple RR is based around its naked cousin (the Speed Triple RS) but with additional electronic suspension and semi-front fairing.
While it may feature the same frame, subframe and fuel tank, the Speed Triple RR is an altogether new motorcycle.

Other significant revisions include more aggressive ergonomics thanks to 5 inches lower and 2 inches forward clip-on handlebars and raised footpegs.
Moreover, the use of a single circular LED headlamp paired to a retro-ish front panel, and Red Hopper/Storm Grey colour scheme creates a striking image.
Nonetheless, underneath the elegant looking sports bike sits the same liquid-cooled, DOHC, 1,160cc triple-cylinder engine with 177hp and 125Nm that powers the Speed Triple RS, including a 6-speed gearbox with slip and assist function.
Other exciting features include:
Brembo MCS lever
