Triumph Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer Edition Launched

• Limited to 800 units globally
• Rs. 1.21 lakh more expensive than the RS trim

Triumph Motorcycles has listed the new Triumph Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer Edition on its India website at Rs 17.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The motorcycle was first showcased earlier this year as part of Triumph’s ‘Unleashed 2026’ campaign. At Rs 17.99 lakh, the Cafe Racer Edition costs around Rs 1.21 lakh more than the standard Speed Twin 1200 RS, which is priced at Rs 16.78 lakh (both ex-showroom).

The Cafe Racer Edition is limited to 800 units globally, although Triumph has not revealed how many bikes will come to India. After the discontinuation of the gorgeous Thruxton 1200, this motorcycle marks the comeback of a large-capacity cafe racer offering in the brand’s portfolio. In terms of design, the motorcycle gets typical cafe racer elements – clip-on handlebars, a quilted tan leather seat, and a rear seat cowl. Other new visual add-ons include a green-and-silver dual-tone paint scheme and a colour-matched headlight cowl.

The motorcycle uses the same 1,200cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine as the Speed Twin 1200 RS. It produces 103.5bhp and 112Nm and comes paired with a six-speed gearbox. A bi-directional quickshifter is also offered as standard and the electronics package and rider aids remain unchanged too. The cycle parts are shared with the RS version as well. These include fully adjustable Ohlins suspension, Brembo monobloc brakes, and Metzeler Racetec RR K3 tyres.
