Iconic British premium motorcycle manufacturer Triumph Motorcycles has launched its latest performance bike, Speed Twin, at a price of ₹9,46,000 (ex-showroom) in India.

The all-new Speed Twin is a reincarnation of the original 1938 marque, which was also the world’s first successful parallel twin-engine packed in a chassis, the company said.

Shoeb Farooq, general manager, Triumph Motorcycles India Pvt. Ltd., said: “The Modern Classic range continues to be the most loved Triumph motorcycles in India and contributes to 55% of the total volume. The Speed Twin has a rich legacy of being the world’s first parallel twin-engine motorcycle and established Triumph as number 1 choice for performance.”

“It can arguably be described as the first ‘riders’ bike. With the new Speed Twin, the ambition of the company is to build on the success of Street Twin and take it further with a bike that rides and handles more like a proper modern roadster,” he said.
