Heavily revised Triumph Speed Twin 900 retro to hit the road at £9195 in February 2025

Following the recent launch of the updated Speed 1200 retro roadster family, Triumph have now revealed a heavily revised Speed Twin 900 upright for 2025, too.

Now styled to look much more like its larger capacity sibling, it’s powered by a Euro5+ version of the firm’s 900cc liquid-cooled SOHC parallel twin – complete with a 270° firing order.

This pumps out a claimed 64bhp at 7500rpm and 59.04lb.ft of torque at 3800rpm. This is paired with just a five-speed gearbox, and fed via a 12-litre fuel tank.

Tipping the scales at 216kg ready to ride, the Twin benefits from updated chassis components, plus additional electronics to provide a thoroughly modern mid-size retro roadster package.

“This new Speed Twin 900 styling has evolved to be sleeker and more dynamic while still retaining the classic design cues that deliver that timeless style,” Chief Product Officer, Steve Sargent said. “The bike is more agile and easier to manouvre too, as we’ve made changes to the chassis and specification that all add up to make a big difference.

“From talking to our customers, we know that the enduring appeal of the Speed Twin 900 is also due to a premium specification, top-quality finish and great reliability, and a badge on the tank which owners are proud to own. Our ambition is as always, to deliver more of what riders appreciate.”

Replacing the old conventional fork stanchions are a set of 43mm upside down Marzocchis flanking a newly styled front mudguard, with preload adjustable twin shocks of the same brand found at the back end, on either side of the now narrower flat 780mm bench seat.

Available in three colours as standard, there’s also additional chassis upgrades in the form of a new stiffer and lighter aluminium swingarm, which should aid with better handling. On top of this, there are redesigned 18in front and 17in rear wheels shod with Michelin Road Classic tyres.

We’re not done there either, with a revised riding position aiming to offer more legroom to the rider. The subframe has also been made slimmer, to help provide a surer footing to riders of all sizes – especially important for those purchasing the 900 as a first big bike.

Elsewhere, the new Speed is very clever, with two riding modes, plus lean-sensitive Bosch cornering ABS and traction control as standard.

You’ll also find a part LCD, part TFT dash, with optional extras including heated grips, cruise control, a Bluetooth connectivity module, and more. Being a Triumph, expect a hefty selection of additional accessories to go at too.
