2025 Triumph Speed Twin 1200 gets very subtle changes in design
Triumph Motorcycles has launched the 2025 version of the Speed Twin 1200 and the Speed Twin 1200 RS in the Indian market. The bikes were previously unveiled for the global market and have now been introduced at a starting price of Rs 12.75 lakh (ex-showroom), while the RS variant comes at Rs 15.50 lakh (ex-showroom). This iteration of the bike has multiple changes over its predecessor, which can be seen in terms of power output and features.

Diving into the details, the 2025 Triumph Speed Twin 1200 is very similar to its predecessor. These similarities can be seen in the neo-retro design, complemented by the round headlamp, and a single-piece bench seat complemented by a thin tail. However, the brand has slightly altered the design of the fuel tank. This design is complemented by three paint scheme options for the Speed Twin 1200: Aluminium Silver, Carnival Red with Sapphire Black, and Crystal White with Sapphire Black. Meanwhile, the RS variant comes with two liveries: Sapphire Black, and a dual-tone Sapphire Black with Baja Orange shade.
