The 2026 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RX limited-edition model features more aggressive ergonomics, an Öhlins steering damper, an Akrapovič muffler, and carbon-fiber bodywork, as well as a unique color and graphics scheme. Limited to only 1,200 units worldwide and available to order now, the new 2026 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RX takes the updated 2025 Speed Triple 1200 RS to the next level with a more aggressive riding position, premium technology, and top-notch components.  An integrated Öhlins SD EC steering damper is added to the RX. The RX’s riding position offers more focused ergonomics. The clip-ons are 2.71 inches lower and 2.04 inches farther forward than on the RS, while the footpegs are 0.57 inch higher and 1 inch farther rearward.  The front fender is carbon fiber. Complementing the RS’s new Öhlins SmartEC3 semi-active electronic suspension, the RX receives an integrated Öhlins SD EC steering damper, which is adjusted via the Öhlins Objective Based Tuning Interface in the TFT menu.  The lightweight Akrapovič muffler features a titanium outer wrap and a carbon-fiber cover. Also notice the Triumph Performance Yellow accent on the rear wheel. The RX also received a new Akrapovič muffler with a titanium outer wrap and mounting bracket and a carbon fiber endcap and exhaust valve cover, finished with a laser-etched Akrapovič logo. The upgraded performance seat features an embossed RX logo.  RX graphics are easily visible from the cockpit. This limited-edition model also features unique styling with a Triumph Performance Yellow and Granite graphic scheme and white RX accents. It includes carbon fiber for the front fender and tank bodywork, and the rear wheel features Triumph Performance Yellow accents.  Special RX details are included. All other components are carried over from the 2025 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS, which is the most powerful and high-tech model in Triumph’s lineup. The updated model includes a boost in horsepower and torque thanks to a freer-flowing exhaust, resulting in 180.5 hp at 10,750 rpm and 94.4 lb-ft at 8,750 rpm. The advanced spool-valve technology in the Öhlins SmartEC3 semi-active suspension provides instant and highly sophisticated suspension adjustment and is only available on a few high-end sportbikes. New IMU-supported electronics include adjustable front wheel lift control, engine braking control, and brake slide assist, and lighter wheels and a new lithium-ion battery results in a lighter 439-lb wet weight.   The upgraded performance seat includes an embossed RX logo.
