Triumph Celebrates 60 Years Of James Bond With Ultra-Exclusive Speed Triple 1200 RR

In celebration of 60 years of James Bond flicks, Triumph – which was featured in the 2021 hit No Time To Die – has released the ultra-limited edition Speed Triple RR Bond Edition. How limited? Only 60 units will be made, to commemorate the anniversary.

What makes the Bond Edition Street Triple RR special is the obvious (and perhaps tacky?) homage being paid to the world’s most famous spy. A custom 60th-anniversary black paint scheme features all 25 James Bond film titles, official 007 graphics, and hand-painted gold lining. There’s even the iconic Bond gun barrel design on the cockpit fairing and custom bold badging and lettering.

Mechanically speaking, the Speed Triple RR isn’t changed from the standard bike, meaning you have the 1160cc low-inertia three-cylinder engine with 178 peak horsepower and 92 lb-ft of peak torque. Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 semi-active electronic suspension handles the bumps at both ends, while Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3 tires keep the bike connected to the road. You also get a full-color TFT display, My Triumph connectivity, cornering ABS and traction control, the latter of which can also be turned off.

Pricing for the exclusive Speed Triple RR Bond Edition will be $24,995, and will also include an exclusive 007 indoor bike cover featuring custom James Bond design details. To ensure your bike is truly one of the 60 being produced, it will also come with a hand-signed certificate of authenticity.

• The Speed Triple 1200 RR Bond Edition will be $24,995 USD / $28,995 CAD

Triumph announces an exciting new collaboration with James Bond as the official motorcycle partner that celebrates the 60th anniversary of Bond with a unique and highly exclusive new limited-edition motorcycle, with just sixty available worldwide. The Speed Triple 1200 RR Bond Edition builds on the incredible partnership between these two iconic British brands, which began with No Time To Die, where Triumph’s Tiger 900 and Scrambler 1200 featured in key action sequences.

The new Speed Triple 1200 RR Bond Edition features a sophisticated three-color scheme in Black, Granite Grey, and Storm Grey with the official “60 Years of Bond” commemorative logo on the tank sides.

All 25 James Bond movies, in their original title fonts, are present in the striking Bond Edition tank top design, including the latest film, No Time To Die, that marked the beginning of Triumph’s role as the official motorcycle partner of Bond.

The cockpit comes with a stunning and distinctive gun barrel design, reminiscent of probably the most iconic film opening sequence of all time and, adding extra desirability, the hand-painted gold lining across the cockpit and rear tail unit completes the beautiful and unique design of the Speed Triple 1200 RR Bond Edition.

Strictly limited to only 60 worldwide, each Speed Triple 1200 RR Bond Edition is a truly unique and collectible motorcycle, individually numbered from 1 to 60 on a dedicated new handlebar clamp badge, which also features official James Bond branding.

Adding a further element of exclusivity, and helping to protect the bike in true James Bond style, each limited-edition RR will come complete with a custom 007TM indoor bike cover, featuring custom James Bond design detailing.

Finally, each of the sixty motorcycles will also come with a unique certificate of authenticity, hand-signed by Triumph’s CEO, Nick Bloor.

Incredible performance and character come naturally to the Speed Triple 1200 RR’s 1160cc triple engine – the same lightweight, efficient, and high-performing engine that also powers the RS model.

Developed for maximum power, torque, and response, the powertrain delivers an impressive 178 HP peak power at 10,750rpm and 92 ft lb peak torque at 9,000rpm. And, characteristic of all Triumph triples, the torque curve is smooth and strong from low down, right through the mid-range, and all the way up to peak revs, for incredible punch and acceleration. The low-inertia engine delivers outstanding responsiveness and a beautifully refined and precise feel.

The stacked 6-speed gearbox is compact and lightweight, with optimized ratio progression to precisely match the power curve, guaranteeing super slick gear changes. The lightweight slip and assist clutch uses ramps in the clutch to force it together when under load, adding to the force of the clutch springs and allowing more power to be transmitted from the engine to the gearbox. The opposite is also true when downshifting aggressively, where a controlled amount of clutch slip is allowed to maximize rear wheel control.

The side-mounted brushed stainless-steel single silencer with black end cap delivers the Speed Triple’s signature hair-raising and visceral sound for a sporty and engaging riding experience.

The riding experience delivers all of Triumph’s trademark agile, precise, and confidence-inspiring handling, amplified by the RR’s focused rider ergonomics, with clip-on handlebars and sporty foot peg position.

The performance edge of the RR is further enhanced by the premium specification of equipment that comes as standard. Fundamental to this is the new Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 electronically adjustable, semi-active front and rear suspension, which is the most advanced suspension system available from Öhlins.

The RR also comes fitted with Pirelli’s high-performance Diablo Supercorsa SP V3 tires delivering incredible response, stability, and grip on both racetrack and road.

The Speed Triple 1200 RR also benefits from lightweight twin Brembo Stylema monobloc front calipers and lightweight 320mm floating front discs, providing precise braking performance. The bike also features the Brembo Stylema linked braking system with an adjustable Brembo MCS lever.

The Speed Triple 1200 RR Bond Edition carries the full suite of state-of-the-art rider aids, electronics, and convenience features designed to not only make the ride easier and safer but also to deliver a tailored set-up for different riding scenarios.

Key to its premium specification is the full-color 5” TFT instruments, with the My Triumph connectivity system fitted as standard. Android and iOS compatible. this enables phone call and music operation, as well as turn-by-turn navigation, developed in partnership with Google. All are accessed and managed via the backlit switch cubes and conveniently displayed on the optically bonded TFT screen.

The RR is also equipped as standard with Triumph’s most-advanced optimized cornering ABS and switchable optimized cornering traction control systems. These use an inertial measurement unit to measure roll, pitch, yaw, and acceleration rates, in order to calculate the lean angle and precisely control the ABS and traction control response to match, optimizing slip rates and torque control to suit the specific riding mode chosen.

Linked to the traction control system is the advanced front wheel lift detection system, which uses advanced algorithms for precise control.

The RR also features five riding modes – Road, Rain, Sport, Rider-configurable, and a Track mode, for the perfect set-up at all times.

Another key feature for use on the road and on track is the Triumph Shift Assist up and down quickshifter. It features an advanced sensor that gives the engine control unit a wealth of information, allowing both up and down gear shifts to be fully mapped against several parameters.

Lighting is LED throughout for maximum durability and efficiency. There’s a daytime running light incorporated into the single round headlight (where market legislation permits) and a distinctive rear light integrated into the tail unit with a unique light signature, plus LED self-canceling indicators.

The Speed Triple 1200 RR is also equipped with a full keyless system (incorporating keyless ignition, steering lock, and fuel filler cap) and fully adjustable cruise control.

The single round headlight at the center of the cockpit fairing, with its unique Bond Edition gun barrel design, is a signature RR feature that gives the bike its beautiful silhouette with flawless clean lines.

The muscular nose-down poise is aggressive and focused, with lightweight, crafted carbon fiber detailing and distinctive 17-inch lightweight cast wheels.

And, the look of the bike is stunning from every angle thanks to the tail light design which is incorporated into the rear unit, and the color-coded belly pan and seat cowl, with an interchangeable pillion seat.
