2025 Triumph Speed Twin 900 – First Look

Upgraded suspension, lean-sensitive electronics and updated styling


Triumph announced a new Speed Twin 900 for 2025, giving it lean-sensitive electronics, sportier suspension, and a more contemporary look. A lot of the changes fall in line with what Triumph did with the 2025 Speed Twin 1200, while also creating a bit more separation between the 900 and the entry-level Speed 400.


Visually, the Speed Twin 900 looks much like its larger sibling. The new sculpted fuel tank, headlight, and throttle body covers are all similar to the ones that debuted on the 1200. The headlight is more compact than the previous design, and the bench seat is slimmer, while the shape of the side covers continue along the same line as the subframe, pointing downwards toward the front wheel while the previous design was more horizontal. The result is a more modern and dynamic look, while still maintaining the Triumph Modern Classics DNA.

The liquid-cooled 900cc Parallel-Twin maintains the same look as the other Bonnevile-based models, with machined cooling fins. Peak performance numbers are unchanged, with the 2025 model still claiming 77.5 hp at 7,500 rpm and 59.0 lb-ft. at 3,800 rpm.


The Speed Twin 900 offers two ride modes, Road, and Rain, just like before, but now they both incorporate the new lean-sensitive ABS and traction control system as standard. Cruise control is also available, but as an accessory. The electronic settings are displayed on the new instrumentation which combines a small TFT screen with an LCD display for engine speed, speedometer and gear indicator (the same design seen on the Scrambler and Speed Twin 1200 models). A USB-C socket is mounted on the left side of the unit for charging mobile devices.


The rear subframe is narrower than the previous version which, combined with the new seat design, makes it a bit easier to straddle. The narrower design should also create more legroom. The stock seat height is 30.7 inches, but an accessory low seat would reduce that to 29.9 inches.



Up front, the Speed Twin 900 gains an inverted 43mm Marzocchi fork, losing the previous gaitered right-side-up fork. Marzocchi also supplies the dual preload-adjustable piggy-back reservoir shocks, which now support a lighter and stiffer aluminum swingarm. The previous 900 had 4.7 inches of wheel travel on both ends, but the 2025 model sees rear wheel travel reduced to 4.3 inches, with Triumph claiming improved control.



The redesigned wheels come equipped with Michelin Road Classic tires. The front wheel comes with a single Triumph-branded four-piston radial-mount caliper, and the 320mm disc is 10mm larger than the previous component. The rear wheel makes do with a single 255mm disc and a Nissin two-piston floating caliper.


The 2025 Triumph Speed Twin 900 will arrive in showrooms in February. Pricing starts at $9,995 for the Aluminum Silver/Carnival Red/Jet Black paint option. It goes up to $10,495 for either the Phantom Black/Aurum Gold option or the more colorful Pure White/Maui Blue/Tangerine Orange featured in most of the supplied photos.
