The much awaited Triumph Speed 400 and Triumph Scrambler 400 X were launched in Malaysia, over the weekend.

Both models represent what Triumph calls the T-Series. They offer an easier accessibility into the Triumph lifestyle and incredible value, with prices starting from just RM 26,900 to RM 29,900. It may also serve as the lightweight everyday big bike for those who already bigger cc bikes, especially in the urban environment.

The range of models take their design cues from the ever-popular Triumph Bonneville 900 and 1200 lineups, thus classifying them as modern retros, or the standard motorcycle.

However, as with all Triumphs, there is nothing “standard” (read: low end) about these two bikes, despite the lower capacity and price.

Features shared by both variants:
  • All-new fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, DOHC, four-valve, 398cc engine.
  • The valvetrain features low-inertia finger followers with DLC (diamond-like coating).
  • It produces 39.5 hp (40 PS) at 8,000 RPM and 37.5 Nm of torque at 6,500 RPM.
  • It needs to be said that although the bike and engine are produced at the Bajaj plant, they are Triumph’s specifications and designs.
  • 6-speed transmission with torque assist clutch.
  • Machined and concealed liquid-cooling fins.
  • Black powder-coated engine casings.
  • Bosch engine management with ride-by-wire throttle and traction control.
  • Bosch dual-channel ABS as standard, but the rear ABS on the Scrambler 400 X can be turned off for off-road riding.
  • Analog speedometer with integrated LCD screen.
  • All-around LED lighting, with signature Triumph DRL (daytime running light).

Triumph Trident 660 Special Edition (2025) telah didedahkan, sebagai penghormatan kepada Tridentyang memenangi perlumbaan IoM TT (Isle of Man TT) dari 1971 hingga 1975.

Sebagai edisi khas, ia menggunakan skema warna putih, biru dan merah bersejarah dengan grafik, lengkap dengan nombor 67. Skema warna ini adalah warna pada basikal yang memenangi TT tersebut, yang digelar “Slippery Sam.”

Walaubagaimanapun, ia bukan sekadar skema cat kerana Triumph telah menambahkan beberapa komponen yang sebaliknya hanya tersedia sebagai pilihan. Pertama, terdapat skrin kecil yang dipadan warna di atas lampu depan. Seterusnya, pelindung bawah enjin aluminium, dan quickshifter Triumph Shift Assist dengan blipper automatik, sebagai standard.

Bahagian mekanikal lain Triumph Trident 660 Special Edition (2025) kekal tidak berubah. Enjinnya ialah jenis tiga silinder 660cc yang menghasilkan 80 hp pada 10,250 RPM dan 63.7 Nm tork pada 6,250 RPM. Itu adalah sebaran 4,000 RPM yang amat besar antara tork maksimum dan kuasa maksimum, bermakna enjin boleh memecut dengn cemerlang di mana-mana dalam julat RPM!

Fork depan masih jenis Showa terbalik yang tidak boleh laras, manakala monoshok Showa di belakang boleh laras untuk prabeban sahaja. Kaliper brek dua omboh Nissin menyandang tugas membrek di hadapan. Malah tayar masih kekal tidak berubah dari Michelin Road 5.

Ciri elektronik termasuk ABS sebagai standard, mod tunggangan ROAD (jalan) dan RAIN (hujan), skrin TFT berwarna, kawalan cengkaman boleh dihidupkan/dimatikan, sistem keselamatan kunci immobilizer.

Harga bermula dari USD 8,595 (RM40,645.76) iaitu harga yang sama dengan Trident 660 standard. Bagaimanapun, terdapat harga yang berbeza di negara lain, kerana ia dijual pada harga yang lebih tinggi sedikit di Kanada.

Triumph Trident 660 Special Edition (2025) atau juga dikenali sebagai Triumph Trident 660 Tribute (2025) pastinya akan sampai ke Malaysia kelak.

Satu-satunya persoalan yang kami ada ialah: Mengapa Triumph tidak melancarkan Tribute Daytona 660?

Rangkaian Triumph Rocket 3 Storm (2024) telah dilancarkan, dalam kedua-dua varian R dan GT.

Rocket 3 terkenal dengan dua perkara: Satu, ia mempunyai enjin motosikal terbesar dalam produksi, dan dua, tork enjin yang akan meluruskan tangan anda seperti roket. Tetapi jangan silap: Triumph telah menjual 18,000 Rocket 3 sejak pembuatan semula pada 2019.

Dan, Triumph tahu bahawa tambahan kuasa sentiasa lebih baik.

Berikut ialah ciri-ciri rangkaian Triumph Rocket 3 Storm (2024):
  • Enjin 3 silinder, 2458 cc (ya, lebih besar daripada kebanyakan kereta di Malaysia), kini menghasilkan 180 hp pada 7,000 RPM dan tork 225 Nm pada 4,000 RPM.
  • Itu merupakan peningkatan 15 hp dan 4 Nm.

  • Kuasa dihantar melalui Torque Assist Clutch, pembeli boleh membeli quickshifter sebagai pilihan.
  • Kerangka masih lagi diperbuat daripada aluminium, yang membuat penampilan sulungnya pada tahun 2019. Ia lebih baik untuk mengurangkan berat badan.
  • Roda aluminium tuang 10 jejari baharu untuk mengurangkan berat sebanyak 2 kg.
  • Pengurangan 2 kg adalah banyak apabila roda berputar, kerana memberikan pengendalian yang lebih tangkas kerana daya giroskopik yang telah dikurangan.

  • Bahagian hadapan mempunyai fork Showa 47 mm yang besar, boleh laras untuk lantunan dan redaman mampatan.
  • Monoshok belakang ialah Showa RSU monoshock dengan takungan.
  • Kaliper brek Brembo Stylema berada di hadapan, mengapit pada cakera 320mm.
  • Di bahagian belakang, angkup Brembo M4.32 monobloc mencengkam cakera 300mm yang besar (memandangkan berat motosikal ini berada di belakang).
  • Menjinakkan kuasa itu ialah bantuan penunggang seperti TC, ABS dan empat mod kuasa.
  • Terdapat juga ABS sensitif sudut mereng, dan juga kawalan cengkaman selekoh yang dioptimumkan.
  • Kini terdapat ciri Hill Hold, yang menghalang motosikal daripada melorot ke belakang apabila berada di cerun bukit dengan menggunakan brek belakang.
  • Kawalan jelajah (cruise control) merupakan sebagai ciri standard pada kedua-dua model, dan anda boleh mengaktifkannya dengan satu sentuhan butang dan melaraskannya ke atas atau ke bawah dalam kenaikan 1 mph.
  • Semua ciri teknologi harus mudah berinteraksi melalui paparan TFT warna penuh dan kayu bedik lima hala.

  • Kedua-dua varian R dan GT menggunakan tema berwarna hitam.
  • Varian R mempunyai cara tunggangan yang lebih sporty, dengan pemijak kaki boleh laras pertengahan dipasang, manakala R mempunyai pemijak kaki di hadapan dan kedudukan tunggangan yang lebih santai.
Berapa harganya?

Triumph Rocket 3 Storm R 2024 ialah USD 24,995 (RM 118,501.30) dan Rocket 3 Storm GT ialah USD 28,995 (RM 137,465.29). Sudah tentu, harga di Malaysia akan jauh lebih tinggi (seperti semua barangan yang lain – semua pun mahal!).

The 2024 Triumph Rocket 3 Storm range has been launched, in both R and GT guises.

The Rocket 3 is famous for two things: One, it has the largest engine in production, and two, the engine’s massive torque will straighten your arms like a er… rocket. But make no mistake: Triumph has sold 18,000 Rocket 3’s since the remake in 2019.

And, Triumph knows that mo’ power is always better.

Here are the highlights of the 2024 Triumph Rocket 3 Storm range:
  • The 2,458 cc (yes, bigger than most cars in Malaysia), 3-cylinder powerplant now punches out 180 hp at 7,000 RPM and head-snapping 225 Nm of torque at 4,000 RPM.
  • That is a bump of 15 hp and 4 Nm.

  • Power is sent through a Torque Assist Clutch, the buyer can purchase the optional quickshifter.
  • The frame continues to be aluminium, which made its debut in 2019. Better to keep the weight down.
  • New, 10-spoke cast aluminium wheels to reduce unsprung weight by 2 kg. Reducing 2 kg is a lot when the wheels spin up, giving quicker handling as there’s less gyroscopic forces.

  • The front has massive Showa 47 mm forks, adjustable for rebound and compression damping.
  • The rear shock is a Showa RSU monoshock with piggyback reservoir.
  • Brembo Stylema calipers are up front, clamping on 320mm discs.
  • At the back, a Brembo M4.32 monobloc caliper grabs a huge 300mm disc (since the bike’s weight is rear biased).
  • Taming that power are rider aids like TC, ABS, and four power modes.
  • There are also lean-angle sensitive ABS, and well as optimized cornering traction control.
  • There is now Hill Hold, which prevents the motorcycle from rolling backward by applying the rear brake.
  • Cruise control comes as standard on both models, and you can activate it at the touch of a button and adjust it up or down in 1 mph increments.
  • All of the tech features should be easy to interact with via the full-color TFT display and five-way joystick.

  • Both R and GT variants deliver a blacked out, if not sinister, attitude.
  • The R has a sportier stance, with mid-mounted adjustable footpegs, while the R has forward footpegs and more laid-back riding position.
How much?

The 2024 Triumph Rocket 3 Storm R is USD 24,995 (RM 118,501.30) and Rocket 3 Storm GT is USD 28,995 (RM 137,465.29). Of course, prices in Malaysia will be much higher (along with everything else).

The new and highly awaited debut of the Triumph TF 250-X achieves an immediate podium in MXGP.

Rider Mikkel Haarup rode to a 5th place finish in Moto 1 (race 1) and 2nd in Moto2 (race 2) for a 3rd place overall in the MX2 class of the  Argentinian MXGP.

Both Triumph riders had achieved podium finished in the preseason races, but those races were considered shakedown and warmup races, rather than the real thing.

Haarup made had two crashes during the Qualifying Race which put him 19th place for the start. The Dane rebounded during the two races on Sunday and even led the race in Moto 2.

Haarup said post-race: “Yeah, it’s been a really amazing start to the season! A podium is perfect and a great way to start the year for myself, and Monster Energy Triumph Racing.

“My qualifying race was not so good, but I knew that I had the speed to run in the top three today.

“All through the off-season we have been building and building and what we’ve achieved today is the result of a lot of hard work by everyone involved. I felt comfortable on the bike all weekend and that was really important on a tricky track like this. Today we’ve shown what this bike is capable of and overall, I’m really happy with my performance.”

Haarup’s Triumph  teammate Camden McLellan took 11th and 6th-placed finishes to finish 9th overall in his first World Championship race as a factory rider. He said: “That’s the weekend wrapped up in Argentina and it’s safe to say that there were a lot of nerves and a lot of excitement all weekend.

Needless to say, this achievement is important for Triumph as they venture into another segment which they had no prior experience. Very few manufacturers could claim such a dream debut, what more in this age where the margins of performance are so small.

The Triumph TF 250-X is already on sale, from USD 9,995.00 (RM 46,776.60) in several markets.

Model Triumph Tiger 660 Rally berkemungkinan sedang dibangunkan bagi melengkapi banjaran model 660 tiga silinder.

Triumph amat fasih dalam strategi menghasilkan model-model motosikal tetapi berasaskan platform yang sama. Contohnya: Banjaran 400cc bersilinder tunggal, banjaran Bonneville dwi-silinder 900cc dan 1200cc, banjaran Tiger 900cc dan 1200cc tiga silinder, dan banjaran 660cc tiga silinder yang amat popular.

Platform yang terakhir itu telah menghasilkan tiga model iaitu Trident 660, Daytona 660, dan Tiger Sport 660. Model Trident merupakan jenis roadster/naked, manakala Daytona merupakan sportbike, dan Tiger Sport 660 ialah sport-tourer. Namun, tiada model adventure (lasak) Triumph Tiger 660 Rally di dalam rangkaian itu.

Pembuat yang berpusat di Hinckley, UK ini amat peka terhadap hakikat ini. Sekmen adventure 700cc sedang hangat direbut oleh pembuat-pembuat motosikal. Pembeli motosikal adventure gemar kepada sekmen ini kerana ia terdiri daripada motosikal yang lebih besar daripada model 250cc-500cc tetapi tidak sebesar, seberat, dan semahal model-model 900cc-lebih daripada 1000cc. Antara model-model adventure sekmen pertengahan ialah Aprilia Tuareg 660, Honda XL750 Transalp, KTM 790 Adventure, dan Yamaha Tenere 700.

Fanning this rumour is Triumph Motorcycles Mumbai with a post in their Facebook page pointing to a reveal at the 2024 EICMA motorcycle expo.  This may of course be over-enthusiasm and taken with with a pinch of salt, but Triumph is aggressive as usual in populating each segment. Only thing that remains to be seen if the final bike will have Rally and/or Rally Pro designations.

Khabar angin ini sebenarnya dimulakan oleh Triumph Motorcycles Mumbai melalui ciapan di akaun Facebook mereka. Mereka berkata lagi yang model baharu ini mungkin akan dilancarkan di ekspo EICMA 2024 kelak. Mungkin ciapan ini kerana mereka agak teruja tetapi Triumph amat agresif dalam pembangunan model-model motosikal bagi mengisi semua jurang!

A Triumph Tiger 660 Rally may be in the works to complete the 660 triple lineup with an adventure model.

Triumph is the master of building different models based on an existing platform. Case in point: The 400cc singles, 900cc and 1200cc twin-cylinder Bonnevilles, the 850cc, 900cc and 1200cc Tiger triples, and the best-selling 660 triples.

The fourth platform has already spawned three models, namely the Trident 660, Daytona 660, and Tiger Sport 660. The Trident is a roadster or more commonly called a naked. The Daytona is a fully-faired sportbike. And lastly the Tiger Sport 660 is a sport-tourer. Thus, a Triumph Tiger 660 Rally adventure model is glaringly missing from the lineup.

The Hinckley, UK based manufacturer is aware of this. The 700cc adventure segment is being hotly contested due to great demand. Motorcycle buyers crowd to this segment as it sits between the smaller capacity bikes and the heavier and more expensive models. Rivals include the Aprilia Tuareg 660, Honda XL750 Transalp, KTM 790 Adventure, and of course, the Yamaha Tenere 700.

Fanning this rumour is Triumph Motorcycles Mumbai with a post in their Facebook page pointing to a reveal at the 2024 EICMA motorcycle expo.  This may of course be over-enthusiasm and taken with with a pinch of salt, but Triumph is aggressive as usual in populating each segment. Only thing that remains to be seen if the final bike will have Rally and/or Rally Pro designations.

Triumph has unveiled an array of new features and upgrades for its Tiger 1200 family in 2024, elevating the range to new heights of advancement and sophistication. The enhancements encompass refined engine performance, improved comfort and ergonomics, enhanced cornering capabilities, reduced seat height with Active Preload Reduction, and vibrant new color options.

According to Triumph, the renowned 1160cc triple engine now offers an even smoother and more controlled riding experience, particularly at low speeds, while retaining its distinctive triple character derived from its T-plane crank. The engineering team at Triumph has fine-tuned the engine by modifying the crankshaft, alternator rotor, and balancer to enhance engine inertia, along with corresponding adjustments to engine calibration. These refinements result in heightened smoothness during acceleration and deceleration, especially noticeable at lower speeds. Additionally, an updated clutch design ensures a smoother engagement when shifting into first gear.

Furthermore, Triumph has prioritised all-day comfort for riders embarking on long-distance journeys with the Tiger 1200. A revised engine balancing strategy contributes to a smoother and more refined engine performance, enhancing comfort across various rider touchpoints. Borrowing from the successful Explorer models, dampened handlebars and risers have been incorporated into the GT Pro and Rally Pro, providing a smoother ride and improved mirror visibility.

The rider seat has undergone a redesign, featuring a flatter profile to offer riders more space and reduce fatigue during extended trips. Additionally, the accessory low seat, which lowers the seat position by 20mm, has been redesigned for enhanced comfort. A longer clutch lever has also been introduced to provide additional space for riders’ fingers, further enhancing comfort on extended journeys.

Triumph has raised the cornering ground clearance of the Tiger 1200 GT Pro and GT Explorer models by adjusting the footpeg positions, thereby increasing rider confidence during cornering maneuvers. The introduction of the Active Preload Reduction feature allows riders to lower the seat height by up to 20mm simply by pressing the ‘Home’ button for one second on the switch cube as the Tiger 1200 slows to a stop.

The Tiger 1200 is now available in some markets in four variants, featuring new colors for 2024. The Tiger 1200 GT Pro and GT Explorer are offered in striking Carnival Red, in addition to Snowdonia White and Sapphire Black. The Tiger 1200 Rally Pro and Rally Explorer come in stylish new Matt Sandstorm and Jet Black options, alongside the popular Matt Khaki.

Steve Sargent, Chief Product Officer, expressed enthusiasm for the 2024 updates, highlighting their potential to enhance the riding experience and expand the Tiger 1200’s global appeal. Since its debut in 2021, the latest generation Tiger 1200 has garnered significant sales success worldwide, with the Tiger 1200 GT Explorer notably chosen by Enduro World Champion Ivan Cervantes for his Guinness World Records feat of covering the greatest distance on a motorcycle in 24 hours.

Triumph telah mengumumkan penambahan terbaru dalam rangkaian mereka dengan Daytona 660 yang baharu.

Daytona 660 menggunakan enjin 660cc yang diperbaharui dan kini mempunyai 95PS pada 11,250rpm dan tork sebanyak 69Nm pada 12,650rpm, dan menawarkan penghantaran kuasa yang lancar, responsif, dan linear di seluruh spektrum rpm.

Dengan peningkatan kuasa kuda sebanyak 17% dan peningkatan tork sebanyak 9% berbanding rakan sekelasnya iaitu Triumph Trident, Daytona 660 yang baharu ini juga dilengkapi dengan sistem ekzos baharu yang menampilkan 3 saluran ke 1.

Showa upside-down big piston 41mm forks, Showa preload adjustable monoshock RSU, dan brek empat piston radial dengan disc 310mm berkembar mengukuhkan prestasi Daytona 660.

Triumph yang baharu ini juga menampilkan ketinggian tempat duduk 810mm dan kedudukan bar dan footpeg yang selari. Teknologi yang menumpukan kepada pengendali termasuk tiga mod pemanduan (Sport, Street, dan Rain) yang mengoptimumkan respons throttle dan traction control.

Instrumen berfungsi merangkumi skrin TFT warna yang disatukan ke dalam paparan LCD putih atas hitam. Padu dan dengan reka bentuk yang ringkas, semua maklumat pengendali jelas dipaparkan dan mudah dibaca dalam pelbagai keadaan cahaya.

Unit kemas ini serasi dengan Sistem Sambungan My Triumph yang membolehkan navigasi, interaksi telefon, dan muzik. Semua fungsi dipaparkan dengan jelas di skrin TFT dan dikawal melalui suis-gear untuk kemudahan penggunaan.

Lampu hadapan LED berkembar dan bodywork minimal menekankan profil atletik, berakhir dengan lampu belakang LED yang berkontur.

Triumph Daytona 660 mempunyai jarak servis 16,000km dan jaminan kilometer tanpa had selama dua tahun. Harga Daytona 660 pula belum didedahkan lagi.

After years of waiting and months of teasing, Triumph has finally unveiled the all-new Daytona 660.

The new Daytona is set to carry on the character of its predecessor and promises an exhilarating sports performance experience coupled with top-notch quality, capability, and specifications, the new Daytona 660 also showcases a significant evolution of Triumph’s distinctive 660cc triple engine.

 

The revamped engine now boasts 95PS peak power at 11,250rpm and 69Nm of peak torque at 12,650rpm, offering a seamless, responsive, and linear delivery of power across the entire spectrum.

With a 17% increase in power and a 9% boost in torque compared to its counterpart, the Trident (which also uses the same engine), the Daytona 660 comes equipped with a fresh exhaust system featuring 3 into 1 headers and a compact underslung exhaust, producing a distinctive and unmistakable sports soundtrack.

The new bike’s chassis is described as well-balanced, combined with agile sports handling, and is said to ensure an unmistakable riding experience. Showa upside-down big piston 41mm forks, Showa preload adjustable monoshock RSU, and radial four-piston brakes with twin 310mm discs and braided brake lines enhance the bike’s performance. Michelin’s new Power 6 tires further contribute to the exceptional ride quality.

Boasting a rider-friendly design, the Daytona 660 features a 810mm seat height, narrow stand-over, and optimized bar and footpeg positions. Rider-focused technology includes three riding modes (Sport, Road, and Rain) that optimize throttle response and traction control settings, along with an Emergency Deceleration Warning system that activates hazard lights during heavy braking.

The bike’s multi-functional instruments include a color TFT screen integrated into a white-on-black LCD display, compatible with the My Triumph Connectivity System. This system enables turn-by-turn navigation, phone interaction, and music control, all easily accessible through the switchgear for added convenience while riding.

The Daytona’s iconic design DNA receives a fresh interpretation with a bold and aggressive stance, highlighted by distinctive twin LED headlights and minimal bodywork. The three available color options feature a striking ‘660’ race-inspired graphic, adding to the bike’s allure.

As expected from Triumph, the Daytona 660 offers more than 30 Genuine Triumph Accessories, allowing riders to tailor their bike for enhanced performance, comfort, style, and practicality.

With a 16,000-km service interval, a two-year unlimited mileage warranty, and strong residual values, Triumph ensures a competitive cost of ownership.

Speaking of cost, there is no word on pricing as yet.

Triumph dikatakan sudah bersedia untuk mendedahkan model motosikal lembut sportsbike Daytona 660 pada hari Selasa, 9 Januari.

Pendedahan ini datang melalui gambar teaser di media sosial mereka, menampilkan siluet sportsbike yang ramping dengan lampu hadapan LED berganda.

Walaupun tiada pengesahan rasmi berkenaan model baru ini, gambar-gambar teaser menggambarkan model Daytona yang berdasarkan platform Trident 660 dan Tiger Sport 660 yang sedia ada, menggunakan enjin tiga-silinder 660cc yang sama. Anggapan ini disokong lebih lanjut dengan laman web Triumph yang menonjolkan ‘660’ sebagai latar belakang.

Berbeza dengan pendahulunya, Daytona ini dijangka menawarkan posisi duduk yang lebih selesa berbanding yang lain di dunia sportsbike, direka untuk pemanduan harian dan akan bersaing dengan jentera seperti Honda CBR650R, Yamaha R7, dan Suzuki GSX-8R parallel twin terkini.

Pandangan lebih dekat pada gambar-gambar dari bulan Ogos menunjukkan bahawa prototaip ini mempunyai penutup enjin sebelah kiri yang sama, bersama kotak ekzos yang sepadan, lengkungan lengan ayun, dan bahagian hadapan yang sepadan.

Oleh itu, dijangkakan Daytona 660 akan dikuasakan oleh enjin tiga-silinder 660cc yang sama dengan model Trident, menghasilkan kira-kira 80bhp. Reka bentuknya kemungkinan akan menampilkan kerja badan baru, termasuk penutup penuh yang mengingatkan kepada Daytona 675 yang kini lama.

Selain itu, jangkakan penutup sisi dan unit tempat duduk yang baru, serta tangki yang direka semula untuk menampung kunci stereng, mengelakkan gangguan dengan reka bentuk yang lebih besar dari pada Trident.

Dengan asas Trident 660-nya, Daytona baru dijangkakan akan berkongsi beberapa elektronik asasnya, seperti dua mod pemandu dan kawalan traksi yang boleh ditukar. Penyusunan suspensi kemungkinan akan termasuk garpu terbalik Showa 41mm yang tidak boleh diselaraskan dan monoshock belakang yang boleh diselaraskan preload, disokong oleh brek dua piston kembar Nissin.

Triumph tidak dedahkan butiran lanjut, meningkatkan jangkaan untuk pendedahan pada bulan Januari.
