Welcome to our first ride review of the 2026 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RX, Triumph’s latest limited-edition super naked motorcycle. Based on the Speed Triple 1200 RS, the RX gets serious track-focused upgrades like clip-on handlebars, a race-inspired riding position, Akrapovič exhaust, Öhlins EC3 semi-active suspension, and an electronically controlled steering damper. We took the RX to the world-class Portimão Circuit in Portugal to test its handling, braking, and outright performance on both Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SPs and full race slicks. With only 1,200 units worldwide and a competitive price tag of $21,495, is this the best value in the hyper-naked segment? Find out how the Speed Triple RX might be Triumph’s brightest and most aggressive naked bike yet.
