2025 Triumph Speed Twin Mega Gallery
Last year, Triumph rolled out a slew of new models to satisfy almost any taste. Four that really caught our attention were the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X, Speed Twin 900, and Speed Twin 1200. The reason was simple: in a single model year, Triumph gave us a pipeline through to its Speed family of motorcycles, effectively giving riders pathways to start from the very beginning with the 400, on to graduation with the 1200. Of course, Triumph’s Modern Classic line of bikes is massive, so there are even more options to choose from if you want.
With the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X, Triumph’s new 398 cc Single powers both the Speed 400 and the Scrambler 400X and makes a claimed 39.5 horsepower and 27.7 lb-ft of torque. The Speed 400 is light, has a low seat height, and is agile, making it great fun around town or in the twisties, but above about 6,000 rpm or on the freeway, the vibration becomes noticeable.
The Scrambler 400X shares much of the same hardware but has a taller seat, 19-inch front wheel, more suspension travel, and mild off-road ability (including switchable ABS with an “off-road” mode) — which gives it more versatility, but at a slight trade-off in nimbleness and a higher cost. Both bikes deliver strong value, clean styling, premium touches, and a genuinely usable ride in the 400cc class, although neither is perfect — the brakes are a little weak, the aforementioned engine vibrations are tiring, and the electronics are oddly difficult to navigate considering how little there is.
Meanwhile, the 2025 Speed Twin 900 mainly sees a stylistic update to keep it inline with its 400 and 1200 siblings. Still, it’s a handsome, more athletic evolution of its predecessor, with lighter front wheels, new suspension, and modern electronics (IMU, cornering ABS, and traction control) that improve its composure and safety. On the road, it delivers a relaxed yet engaging ride with comfortable ergonomics, playful handling, and a great exhaust note — but its engine performance, brakes, and five-speed gearbox are simply modest at best. It seems strange that Triumph mainly focused on looks with this revamp instead of a holistic makeover. The main oddity here is that the 900 now sits awkwardly between the smaller 400 and larger 1200 models: it may appeal to riders seeking a customizable “blank canvas,” but many will perhaps outgrow it and wish they’d gone bigger.
And speaking of bigger, we have the 2025 Triumph Speed Twin 1200 (and its RS variant). Both models refine the modern classic formula with upgraded electronics (new IMU-based cornering ABS and traction control), styling tweaks, and a more powerful (and Euro 5+ compliant) version of its 270° parallel-Twin that reaches a higher redline and also gets a little more power. The RS adds more serious hardware — Brembo brakes, adjustable suspension, quickshifter, and a sportier rider positioning. The base model, meanwhile, has slightly more comfortable ergonomics and keeps things more relaxed. In riding, torque is plentiful at low- and mid-range, and while the throttle response still has some abruptness, the RS lets you stretch the engine and enjoy sharper behavior. Overall, it’s a strong update: more capability, more refinement, and more options — though the full RS version comes at a significantly higher price.
